Out of all the people present at Connie's wedding day, Luca Brasi is the only person who actually came to the wedding to pledge his loyalty and congratulate Don Vito. He was also he only person who didn't ask for any favours unlike many others who had their requests. Maybe that's the reason why Luca Brasi was referred to as "my most valued friend" by Don Vito Corleone himself.

About Michael: The beginning of the film is just after the end of World War 2. At the wedding, Michael is wearing a WW2 US Marine Corps officer's uniform. The insignia on his shoulder epaulets show his rank is Captain, an officer commanding a Company of 160-200 men. The ribbons on the left front of his jacket are: top row left to right Silver Star (3rd highest award for combat valor with serious risk to own life), Navy and Marine Corps Medal (highest award for non-combat life saving valor with serious risk to own life), Purple Heart (for being wounded in combat), 2nd row left-most ribbon is WW2 Pacific Theater Campaign Medal with 2 Stars (indicates participating in a total of 3 Pacific Island battles). Prior to being promoted to Captain, as a 2nd Lieutenant and then 1st Lieutenant he would have commanded a platoon of 40-50 men. He is a combat veteran who has commanded a significant number of men (40-50, later 160-200), is trained and experienced in marksmanship and tactics (attacks, defense, ambushes, maneuvering for position, etc., as well as individual combat skills), taking decisive action and clear thinking in stressful situations, been promoted through 3 officer ranks (2nd Lieutenant -> 1st Lieutenant -> Captain), shown personal bravery in both combat and dangerous non-combat situations, been wounded in combat, and seen some of the bloodiest battlefields of WW2. Most of those battles had very intense hand-to-hand combat, no just shooting, as they almost always ended with desperate Japanese soldiers making massed banzai charges. Being a Marine officer during wartime is not a union job, there are no promotions because of seniority; he was promoted twice because he had demonstrated competence at leading men and killing the enemy. At the wedding and throughout the movie, he is almost always the most experienced, hardened killer in the room. The older mafiosi laugh at him for proposing to shot Sollozzo and the police captain, but really have no idea what his experiences are or how coldly ruthless he will be to decisively defeat/eliminate his enemies.

@@Wired4Life2The mafias pull did not go as far as the military. Once you were in basic training you were the Army's property and nobody got preferential treatment. However because Michael had dropped out of college to join it might have earmarked him as prime officer material but he would have got that all on his own as leading a platoon is more likely to put you in danger than shield you from it. Michael wanted to make his own way in the world and although it hurt Vito as every father wants to protect their son I think Vito probably respected Michael the most out of all his children

A lot of things are clearer if you've read the book. The Godfather might threaten terrorize or even order someone killed, but he's also notoriously old fashioned about certain things.

When there are short moments in the Italian language without subtitles, it is because it doesn’t matter to the progress of the film, exactly what they are saying - the audience has the general idea of what is going on, but it makes the audience focus more on what shows on the faces and body language of these phenomenal actors, and watch their reactions to each other, and we also can absorb the atmosphere built up in the scene through camera movements, lighting, music, sound fx, placement of the actors, etc and we get whatever information we need from all of that, without specific words.

Luca Brazzi suffers from brain damage from an attempted suicide (overdose of sleeping pills) which caused the slowing of his speech and ability to think. He is a feared (even by Vito Coleone as shown in their meeting at the wedding) and loyal friend to Vito Coleone. That was a real horse's head. fyi.
