Killers of the Flower Moon can right wrongs.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Killers of the Flower Moon star Leonardo DiCaprio details how the film improved its Native American representation. From iconic director Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon follows a series of mysterious murders of members of the Osage tribe that lead to an FBI investigation and the involvement of J. Edgar Hoover.
“It’s a completely forgotten part of American history, and an open wound that still festers. Hollywood has a long history and checkered past in its depiction of Native American people. We need to do more. You know, we are coming towards a great reckoning of our past. The more that these stories can be told in a truthful way, the more it can be a healing process.
Killers Of The Flower Moon’s Script Pivot Was Needed Played by Gladstone, who is Native American herself, Mollie is a woman in the Osage tribe who is married to Ernest Burkhart, a white man who is suspected of the Osage murders at the heart of Killers of the Flower Moon's story. This “twisted and bizarre” relationship between Ernest and Mollie is what, according to DiCaprio, will give the movie a better ability to center a Native American story.
