Scorsese's latest tells a gripping and horrific story of America's past.
When it comes to stories about the decimation of the Indigenous people of America, few do the story justice. Many focus on the violence and pain of the victims, turning their suffering into entertainment. Some prefer to focus on the white characters while relegating the Native Americans to supporting characters. On some level, Killers of the Flower Moon avoids a lot of these stereotypes.
Bill has his eye set on a big prize. Mollie Kyle, a daughter set to inherit a large parcel of land and money once her mother dies. He talks Ernest into befriending Mollie, and soon the two hit it off and get married. Ernest, for his part, is somewhat dimwitted, he proudly proclaims that he loves money, but is often conflicted when his uncle makes him do his bidding. It might be easy to say that Ernest, at his core, is a good man.
In a film that opens with a vignette of a wild and unlawful land full of violence, corruption, and greed, it seems rather one-dimensional to have the government swooping in like heroes. After all, it's only because of that government that Native Americans are relegated to Indian reservations. These governments are formed by the same people who stole their land, colonized their people, and erased their culture.
The Performances by DiCaprio, De Niro, and Gladstone Are Solid While I question some decisions Scorsese made with Killers, there's no doubt that this film is a triumph for its leading cast. DiCaprio plays Ernest with the full measure of his weaknesses. The character is inconsistent and frustrating, but DiCaprio certainly is not. He turns a character who should be despicable into one that is almost sympathetic.
'Killers of the Flower Moon' Is Worthy of a Watch For Scorsese Fans, but It Doesn't Tell a Comprehensive Story Ultimately, Killers of the Flower Moon doesn't break ground. It's not a life-changing film, nor is it Scorsese's crowning achievement. But it is a dedicated study of a horrific time in history and one that tries its best to present a balanced story. To Scorsese's credit, he does not shy away from the injustice of the story.
