‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Review:  A Gripping Tale of Greed, Betrayal, and Justice

'Killers of the Flower Moon' Review:

Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon”, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, was released in the United States on October 20, 2023.

On October 27, 2023, “Killers of the Flower Moon” was released in India. The film is an adaptation of crime, drama, and history.

The New York Times best-selling novel by author David Grann inspires the movie. It also stars Jesse Plemons and Lily Gladstone.

Directing the movie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Roth, Martin Scorsese frequently collaborates with his two leads, DiCaprio and De Niro, on several projects.

Oil made the Osage Nation extremely wealthy at the turn of the 20th century, instantly making them some of the richest people on the planet.

As soon as these Native Americans were wealthy, white invaders took advantage of their affluence and began to manipulate, extort, and steal as much Osage money as they could before turning to murder, according to Apple Studios’ official description

Based on the same-titled book, Scorsese and Eric Roth translated this screenplay to the big screen, bringing a terrible and important true account of Native American history to a wider audience.

Although the film’s three and a half hours may seem long, every minute is utilized as the screenplay is meticulously polished to every beat. If a director is to be assessed by how his films close, Scorsese excels in that area as he progressively expands on the many elements of this complex story.

Killers of the Flower Moon, directed by Martin Scorsese, may not have been a box office hit, but it made $44 million on a $200 million budget.

All elements are in place for “Killers of the Flower Moon” to be more than simply Oscar bait, so be ready for it to have a big presence during awards season.

Scorsese skillfully balances technical aspects like Robbie Robertson’s eerie soundtrack and storyline. It’s arguable whether the film’s long-running length is necessary, but what isn’t is Scorsese’s vision and striking execution of a difficult, heartbreaking story of deceit and falsehoods.
