How come Don Corleone doesn’t want to see Luca Brasi on the day of the wedding? When Tom tells him that Luca wants to see him, he asks Tom, “Is this necessary”? Clearly he doesn’t want to see him. Luca is definitely a devoted follower of Don Corleone. Is he possibly afraid of what favor Luca might ask for? Or maybe he limits how often Luca can see him, this way maintaining a certain awe that Luca would have towards him. Or just maybe Luca has bad body odor.

And what happens to Luca after this scene. Did he stay for the rest of the wedding? Wouldn’t it have been great if he was next to sing after the old guy? There could have been some danger in that though, because if people didn’t like his singing, we might have had a blood bath take place that would make the horse head in the bed seem like kids stuff.
