Killers of the Flower Moon and The Clash of Master and Slave Morality
Killers of the Flower Moon is a brutal film from Martin Scorsese which seems to me to combine elements from Kundun and Casino to tell the story of the Osage Indian Murders. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, and Lily Gladstone play three unique forces that clash together between the strong and weak, moral and amoral, and the callous and those who may yet be redeemed. These heady ideas are all set against a backdrop of constant genocide.
Martin Scorsese has opted for a slower, less rigorously edited picture, that glides from moment to moment in a somewhat anti-dramatic form of storytelling. It's a tough picture to watch at times as he never shies away from some truly horrific acts of barbarism committed against the Osage people.
I think it's going to be regarded as an acquired taste film of his, though, since we don't necessarily receive pleasure from the criminal behaviour nor do we get a hopeful ending. But it is honest, and you can't disparage any filmmaker for being that.
