This movie will haunt you long after it’s finished
Killers of the Flower Moon is the latest novel from Martin Scorsese. It’s a powerful film. It mixes romance, western drama, mystery, and one of the darkest chapters in American history – the Osage Massacre of the 1920s.
The film with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro showcases Scorsese’s talent for creating new and compelling stories. This film will forever change the way you view history.
The film opens with a terrifying image: men working in what looks like a lake on fire. This set the stage for a cruel and destructive American story.
Scorsese’s filmmaking is gorgeous as always. He uses a wide-angle moving camera, then switches to dark furniture to make himself uncomfortable.
True crime fans can look no further
Killers of the Flower Moon takes place on the Osage Reservation in Oklahoma. It is a tale of love, murder, greed and terrible betrayal.
It is based on the book by David Gran and follows the true story of the Osage Massacre. Dozens of Osages were killed by gunfire, explosions and mysterious poisons in the 1920s.
You won’t believe what DiCaprio does in this movie
The film features Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio), a war hero who comes to Oklahoma City to work for his uncle William Hale (De Niro).
Hale was a wealthy rancher known as the “King of the Osage Mountains.” Ernest drives in Fairfax, a busy and bustling uptown.
Here he meets Osage woman Molly Kyle (Lily Gladstone), with whom he falls in love. Their love feels natural and plays an important role in the story.
‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is big and bold, but personal and emotional. Scorsese directs with his usual skill. The landscapes and photography are amazing.
DiCaprio and De Niro give wonderful performances. The film’s themes of love, murder, greed and betrayal feel just as relevant today.
Do you love to watch scary movie? It may be tough for you to watch alone.
In short, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is a disturbing masterpiece. It’s a tribute to the American West, but it’s also a stark look at the violence and injustice of our past.
Scorsese is the best, so this is a must-see for fans of the genre. This may be the most disturbing film of the year.
The Dark History They Don’t Teach You in School
The plot of “Killers of the Flower Moon” revolves around the Osage Nation, a group of indigenous people who became incredibly wealthy due to the discovery of oil reserves on their land in the early 20th century.
However, this newfound wealth attracted white interlopers who sought to exploit and steal from the Osage.
The Osage Reign of Terror had a devastating impact on the Osage people, resulting in loss of lives, fear, economic hardship, legal reforms, and a long journey towards healing and restitution.
Scorsese’s New Film Has Left Everyone Speechless
The film focuses on the relationship between an Osage woman, Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), and a white World War I veteran, Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is also the nephew of a wealthy rancher, William K. Hale (Robert De Niro).
Ernest marries Mollie at the urging of his uncle and later conspires with him to kill off Mollie’s family and other Osage people to cash in on their oil headrights and life insurance policies.
This Movie Will Haunt You Long After It’s Over
The film is based on journalist David Grann’s book of the same name and explores the broader historical context of the Osage murders, which came to be known as the “Reign of Terror.”
It also delves into the investigation of these crimes by a team of government field agents led by former Texas Ranger Tom White (played by Jesse Plemons in the movie).
Scorsese’s adaptation of the book shifts the focus from the white perpetrators to the relationship between Mollie and Ernest, making their marriage the driving force of the film.
The film has been praised for its strong acting, gorgeous cinematography, and powerful story, despite its slower pace and extreme length.
