Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Killers of the Flower Moon may be one of Martin Scorsese’s best films to date. The film, which is based on a true story and adapted from the book by David Grann, is devastating, showcasing the cruelty, violence, and greed from William King Hale and his accomplices, and the agony the Osage Nation suffered because of their heinous actions.
The story itself is layered, taking its time to develop the underlying tension before the FBI even enter the scene . The Osage Nation is portrayed with humanity; their culture is beautiful, their connections nuanced, and their trust of William King Hale well-established. Killers of the Flower Moon has a way of balancing the villainy of Hale and co. with the emotion and depth of the Osage Nation’s tragedy — namely in how Mollie and her family are affected.
The film is also a visual feast for the eyes. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto’s lighting is warm, making the earthy colors stand out, but also distorted to showcase the misleading aspects of the story. Along with a heartbreaking and intense script, the film’s visual language truly comes alive. Scorsese once again gathers an outstanding cast to bring the story to life. Leonardo DiCaprio portrays Ernest as a small-minded man with no real backbone when it comes to standing up to his uncle.
