Review: We can rely on the man who enraged a whole generation of moviegoers with his critique of what movies aren't to demonstrate the power of cinema by turning the pages on erasures of history. Martin Scorsese and Eric Roth adapted this film, which is based on the book of the same name, to bring a significant but little-known genuine and tragic story of Native American history to the big screen. Although the film's three and a half hours may seem long, every minute is utilized as the screenplay is meticulously polished to every beat. If a director is to be assessed by the way his films close, Scorsese excels in that area as he progressively expands on the many elements of this complex story.
The most unexpectedly powerful human feeling that the director uses to keep us interested is "love," or rather, how it may blind those who suffer from it. This emotion lies behind the complexity of human emotion, particularly greed and dishonesty. An important character in that story is Leonardo DiCaprio's Ernest Burkhart, who meets and falls in love with Lily Gladstone's Mollie. Ernest is straightforward about his intentions, and even though he is not a softy, Mollie finds herself drawn to him. However, Robert De Niro's portrayal as Ernest's uncle William Hale, also known as King, dictates the scope of Ernest's objectives.These three are the main actors, and they are all deserving of the recognition that will undoubtedly be bestowed upon them. It's great to see the seasoned actor return to form because Scorsese brings out the best in De Niro, in my opinion. However, the filmmaker also works with DiCaprio, so it wouldn't be an understatement to claim that this is likely the latter's most nuanced film to date. The most remarkable, though, is Lily Gladstone, who gives a career-defining performance alongside DiCaprio and De Niro. Gladstone is a striking force.
All the necessary components are in place for "Killers of the Flower Moon" to be more than simply Oscar bait, so be ready for it to have a big presence during awards season. Scorsese skillfully strikes a balance between technical aspects like Robbie Robertson's eerie soundtrack and storyline. It's arguable whether the film's long running length is necessary, but what isn't is Scorsese's vision and striking execution of a difficult, heartbreaking story of deceit and falsehoods.
