Martin Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Triumphs and Suffers as an American Epic

The Extra Credits - Un pódcast de Kelsi and Trey

Categorías:

Kelsi and Trey explore Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon as a semi-successful epic portrait of the systematic attacks on the Osage Nation and the racist robbery of their oil-induced wealth in 1920s Oklahoma. When the audience is shown this terror through Mollie’s (Lily Gladstone) eyes, the movie triumphs. However, when the film turns into a misplaced internal battle of white guilt in courtrooms and jail cells between Earnest (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Hale (Robert De Niro) with mostly no Osage people in sight, the movie suffers.  Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ Patreon link: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/TheExtraCredits?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link⁠ Interview with Christopher Cote Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: [email protected] Please rate and review us on your podcast platform!⁠ Follow our Letterboxd: ⁠The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠ Follow our Instagram: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠ Follow our Twitter: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠ Follow our Tik Tok: ⁠The Extra Credits
