"Killers of the Flower Moon" is a period epic directed by Martin Scorsese,
hailed as an instant American classic. Set in the 1920s, the film delves into
the dark underbelly of America's westward
expansion, focusing on the Osage Indian nation who, with newfound oil wealth,
become targets of exploitation and murder.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro deliver powerful performances as Ernest
Burkhart and William Hale, respectively, navigating a world of industrialized
gangsterism. As the intricate plot unfolds, the film masterfully exposes the
hidden horrors of the era and questions the very foundations of America's
creation myth.
With its meticulous attention to detail and seething anger, "Killers of the
Flower Moon" stands as Scorsese's strongest work in decades, reminiscent of a
Steinbeckian tale of injustice and resilience. |
