How Killers of the Flower Moon Lies - Let Me Explain (2023)

What's the best 3+ Hour movie you've seen?

This opened my eyes to the fact Native Americans are victims of one of the greatest/most successful attempts of ethnic cleansing, and it is rarely addressed.

The ending really sold the movie for me. The commentary of this story being told as a radio show in the 60s(?) as entertainment was pretty spot on for how entertainment is produced today. But to have Marty himself come out and give the final words as the story he is telling comes to an end, really hit home for me. The cycle will seemingly always continue. We saw it with the Osage, and we see it in our world today. 100 years and nothing’s changed.

Even today, there is a crisis of murdered and missing indigenous women, which is not being addressed by the authorities.

Killers of the Flower Moon was raw, heartfelt, violent, and frightening all at the same time. We appreciate your insights on this.

Despite being 30 minutes longer than Oppenheimer, Killers Of The Flower Moon is an amazing film and one of the best of his filmography.

It was incredibly intense. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. Loved Marty coming out at the end to give the whole thing the bow on it by giving a clear message on what happened, or what didn’t happen, and just how disgusting and despicable the treatment of the Osage and the Natives were, just absolutely unforgiving and terrible.

So the reason they did the perspective from the villain is because they want the audience to feel the distrust and betrayal the Osage felt. So there is a reason behind the perspective they took in this movie.

I actually like the fact that movies are getting longer. I’m more of a movie watcher than a series any day.

We live in a world ruled by people like DeNiros character..

You opened my eyes in countless small details I didn’t quite pick up on with my first viewing. Makes me want to watch it again given how carefully crafted this film was. Loved the movie and this video, excellent work!

i just saw this with my nana in theaters we were blown away and researching doing a whole history class afterwards it is insane

ok hear me out… i never knew the story of the Osage nor had i read the book and i only saw ONE trailer for this movie. so imagine my utter shock when the story in my head of Ernest and Molly retaliating for all the killings and seeking righteous vengeance was NOT the movie i saw 🤣 seeing Leo play so many heroes over the years really did alter my viewing experience when we didn’t see the babyface turn i was waiting for in my mind… all that being said, this was a truly sad and heartbreaking story to see ppl who only thought others had the best intentions for everyone in mind were slowly picked off by the coyotes hungry for their wealth

Despite sharing many similarities to Oppenheimer, I find Killers of the Flower Moon to be a great revelation of the horrific past/present while the prior to be offensive. Scorsese's choice to explore the evilness and its impact just felt more respectful than turning the destruction into spectacles. Instead of indulging in the detective's greatness, he pointed the finger at all party involved; the killers, the system, the exploiters, himself, and us, who is entertained by the pain of others.

The most disturbing part about this is that we've learned little from our own cruelty, because goddamn money. What a joke.

I appreciate the perspective of wanting to see the violence against the abusers as much as the violence against the Osage, but being so close to the violence against the Osage humanises them in a way that the film doesn't offer to their abusers

I always find myself torn on these subjects. It always annoyed the fuck out of me because as I look at these comments down below, I see a lot of people being along the lines of "wow! this really opened my eyes to native Americans mistreatment." And I think its great that these conversations are taking place now, but there is a big part of my heart that's extremely bitter to the fact that it takes a movie by Martin Scorsese with Leo "Oscar Bait" DeCap to really show everyone how bad American history was for Native Americans. When such atrocities are fairly prominent in history books I mean hell there was an actual slogan called "kill the indian, save the man" where there was an actual attempt at ethnic cleansing and really tore apart many families to which the repercussions can be felt to this day. That the Red Skins Football team was allowed to be a team for faaaar longer than it should've have been or has been. Or more recently how in New Mexico Native Americans are being kidnapped and trafficked to take advantage of federal payments of Alcoholic recovery programs only to be abandoned in a place they don't know with little to no help. This all sounds so patronizing to me... But, just because Im bitter doesn't mean that this can't be helpful or maybe even helps pave a way for more stories about Natives. Also yes, the whole being 1% Cherokee bit drives me up a wall

It's comforting to believe the world can be divided into "normal" people and psychopaths. The real horror comes from the realization that they are one and the same.

2:21 DeNiro's character: Yeah, we're all trying to find the guy who did this!

I think Henry’s depression is because of his money because I’m pretty sure him and his wife were both entitled to money but being full blooded natives they needed a guardian (white person) to sign off on their money, so they divorced each other and remarried to get that money. That’s why she has her own store with her white husband and Henry gets drunk and parties with his white wife.
