Historical Background
The film "Killers of the Flower Moon" is based on the true events surrounding the Osage Indian murders in the 1920s. This dark chapter in American history is often referred to as the "Osage Reign of Terror." During this period, members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma became some of the wealthiest people in the world due to the discovery of oil beneath their land.The Osage Murders
In the early 20th century, the Osage people were granted headrights to the oil-rich land, which meant they received significant royalties from oil companies. However, this wealth attracted unscrupulous individuals who sought to exploit and murder the Osage to gain control of their headrights.- Between 1921 and 1925, more than two dozen Osage were murdered or died under suspicious circumstances.
- The murders were often carried out through poisoning, shootings, and other violent means.
- The conspiracy involved local businessmen, law enforcement, and even some members of the Osage community.
The FBI Investigation
The Osage murders eventually caught the attention of the newly formed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Under the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI launched an investigation led by agent Tom White. The investigation uncovered a vast conspiracy orchestrated by a local cattleman named William Hale, who sought to gain control of the Osage wealth through murder and manipulation.Adaptation and Accuracy
The film is based on the book "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" by David Grann. The book meticulously details the events and the investigation, providing a comprehensive account of the Osage murders.The film adaptation strives to remain faithful to the historical events and the book's narrative. It captures the complexity of the conspiracy and the impact on the Osage community.

Killers of the Flower Moon
The three-and-a-half-hour running time is fully justified in an escalating tragedy that never loosens its grip
Hollywood Reporter
Watched
Scorsese played with genres skillfully and told this sordid story well. I expected more from the acting, but DiCaprio’s role as a blockhead, constantly trying to understand what’s going on, was a success. Chronom logged in without any problems – T. Schoonmaker reminds us that she is one of the great editors
Watched
Despite its awesome cast, DiCaprio’s stunning emotionless performance (except for one moment), painstaking reproduction of time and place, Gladstone’s season opener, this movie is hard to watch in its banality. 6.4 you can throw rotten tomatoes at me.
Killers of the Flower Moon
Monumental stuff. Both vast and intimate in scope. Exceptional filmmaking, by an exceptional filmmaker.
Empire
Watched
How hard it is not to spoil for everyone you meet whether the main character will kill his wife at the end of the film or not, you would know…
Watched
Disconcerting with its unhurried pace and downright Kaurismäkiev-esque simplicity, it’s like the anti-Godfather. Instead of romanticization there is monstrosity, instead of New York there is a bush, instead of an anti-hero there is a creature. S. for the first time rejected cinephilism – this is first and foremost an ethical gesture, and only then cinema.
Watched
In two passes, but still. I didn’t get any strong emotions, but I kind of want to put it on a shelf alongside other classics. Exactly what you always expect from Scorsese. And how good Leonel Messi is. Not the most banal role for him, but he did it superbly.
Watched
A powerful film investigation that reveals tragic events in US history. Martin Scorsese is great again, creating an entertaining movie with a gripping storyline and great acting.
Watched
The film is not bad, but the running time is completely unjustified. Minus one point for that.
Watched
I didn’t start watching the film for a long time because I was reading the book so I could compare it later. Well, the film follows the plot of the book and, despite the length, is more addictive. But more than 3 hours are not always beneficial. The film is interesting, but the director has more interesting films.
There’s probably an Oscar for Best Actress here. (I wonder if Native Americans ever received an award in this category?)
Watched
The film is heavy in everything – both the chronicle, and the master actors, and the story itself. I don’t know why this page of history is so close to Scorsese, but you can feel it in everything. It’s not for nothing that he personally appeared in the finale. Leopold, the editor and the composer take away my personal Oscars.
Watched
Unlike the equally long "The Irishman,” the movie is completely empty. Events follow one after another, but there seems to be no meaning, other than the obvious conflict between the whites and the Indians. Acting work according to Tinkov: "doubtful, but ok." The soundtrack is also almost more boring than in the last "Batman".
Watched
My 900th viewing was this grandiose work by Scorsese about human greed, hypocrisy, selfishness and cruelty. The movie is really powerful with very convincing acting, the timing was not killer. It’s a pity that this is a true story
Watched
While not a painful viewing experience, much of the film is downright boring. Since everything is laid bare from the very first minutes, and all the characters in this story are portrayed as naive idiots, one is left to make do with Leo’s apt portrayal and the pleasant editing.
Watched
Technically verified, excellent actors, a beautiful epilogue, but a brutally drawn out film. 1.5-2 hours worth of content, but no, infinity is not the limit for Scorsese. Great movie, but sometimes unbearably boring. It’s like the last half hour of The Irishman, only the whole movie is like this. 7.5 out of 10
Watched
I watched Zone of Interest, there is also ordinary violence, but not as great as here.
Watched
Great job by Scorsese in adapting the book with great production and a powerful cast. But you should read the book, because in the film the emphasis was shifted from the investigation itself and Tom White towards DiCaprio’s hero, Ernest.
Watching now
It would be right to start watching the film, exchanging my plot of land for beads and wrapping myself in a blanket with smallpox, but somehow I’ll try to do without it.
Watched
Once again, Scorsese filmed a 4-hour movie for streaming. The main problem is the pacing and lack of edge in the script. Where is the deep condemnation of American parasitism on the indigenous people of America? It’s just local history, everything is according to old drawings, nothing new. Really well shot.
Watched
"Killers of the Flower Moon" is an incredibly interesting movie for almost 3.5 hours! This is a personal record for me in terms of duration, as well as for the director and the entire cast.
By the way, the actors were chosen very well – they all played excellently.
The scenery, the presentation of the story, the quality of the filming – everything is at a high level.
The main advantage of the film is that, despite the modern shooting and excellent image quality, it is made in a classic style. It even reminds me of "Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood".
Of course, such a length affected the box office receipts, but there were other reasons.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets about watching this film and devoting 3.5 hours to it – it was worth it.
Rating: 7.8/10
Watched
The picture is very important for the United States, as it raises very unpleasant topics in American history. DiCaprio finally got out of the image of a cunning egoist and played a typical six, and this, as well as the tandem with De Niro, only benefited him. Definitely worth a look
Watched
Epochal, masterful, very long. At the same time, I can’t say that there is even one extra scene in the film. It’s just that the historicity of the events seemed to oblige Scorsese to draw some conclusions, and therefore the last hour with the trial looks somewhat faded against the background of the splendor of the rest of the picture.
