☆ Opinion | How ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Presses Up Against the Limits of Empathy
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Maggie Blackhawk | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +3 min

Mr. Scorsese takes a different tack. Rather than aim for moral development of the audience through empathy for Osage suffering, he focuses on Ernest Burkhart. Ernest is the paradigmatic wolf, just as Mr. DiCaprio has played other wolves throughout his career, on Wall Street and elsewhere. Mr. Burkhart acts on simple, underdeveloped moral principles — and often not exactly out of malice, but self-interest. Mr. Burkhart is driven by base desires — financial gain and other perquisites of power — toward horrific acts against his own family.

I found myself at the movies this year more often than last. And though neither metric has yet rebounded to prepandemic levels, it finally feels like the movies are, in some sense, back. Maybe it was the monotony of at-home streaming or just the desire to finally get off the couch. A quick scan of The New York Times’s list of the year’s best movies makes the point. The films, picked by the critics Manohla Dargis and Alissa Wilkinson, span a number of genres, including dramas and biopics.

But Tallchief refused and insisted on dancing as Maria Tallchief, keeping her Osage name, according to a biography of the ballerina by the School of American Ballet. Ballerina Maria Tallchief WATFORD/Mirrorpix/Getty ImagesElise Paschen, Tallchief’s daughter and a poet, told CNN her mother took great pride in her heritage.

☆ Martin Scorsese’s New Film

The average blockbuster now runs thirty minutes more than films did in the 1990s, a recent Economist survey found. Martin Scorsese’s highly anticipated new film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is in theaters this weekend. In this case, though, fretting over the run-time might belie the thoughtfulness of Scorsese’s creation. The film, adapted from a best-selling nonfiction book by David Grann, is about the murders of members of the Osage Nation, a Native American tribe in Oklahoma, in the 1920s. Both the book and movie tell a story of violence, and of the ensuing investigation by an F.B.I.

Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” opened this weekend in over 3,600 theaters to an estimated $23 million in the United States and Canada. “Killers” marks the largest theatrical release for Apple Studios, which will return to the box office at Thanksgiving with the Ridley Scott epic “Napoleon” and again in February with the spy caper “Argylle.”(Its strong showing didn’t get it bragging rights for this weekend’s box office. 1 spot for the second week in a row went to “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which cost $15 million. It earned an estimated $31 million for a total of $129.8 million — a boon for AMC Theatres Distribution’s first release.) Mr. Scorsese filmed the movie in Oklahoma and cast a number of Osage in the film.

More was riding on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a historical crime drama about a string of murders against the Osage nation in the early 1920s. “Killer of the Flower Moon” also marks the best wide-release debut for a film from a streaming company. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, said of the “Killers of the Flower Moon” launch. As dissimilar as “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” are, they’re alike in their extended run times. “Killers of the Flower Moon" also reeled in more young moviegoers than one might have expected.

Before production of “Killers of the Flower Moon” began, the Osage Nation expressed their concerns and signaled that they wanted to be involved in bringing their history to the big screen. Now that they’ve seen “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Gray and other Osages say the film is all the better for the collaboration. Former Osage Nation Chief Jim Gray has a personal connection to the story depicted in "Killers of the Flower Moon." Osage Nation leaders and consultants who worked on the film attend the New York premiere of "Killers of the Flower Moon" on September 27.

☆ 'Killers of the Flower Moon' review: Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro team up on a movie that wants to be epic but just feels long
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —There’s a difference between “long” and “epic,” although in movie terms the two frequently get confused. Martin Scorsese delivers the former but not the latter with “Killers of the Flower Moon,” his second consecutive three-and-a-half-hour movie derived from a true story and underwritten by a prestige-hungry streaming service. Notably, “Killers of the Flower Moon” will receive a wide big-screen launch that includes playing on hundreds of Imax screens. Either way, Scorsese has served up a movie that also plunges into a dark history and comes away with less bang for its bucks. “Killers of the Flower Moon” premieres October 20 in US theaters and will later play on Apple TV+.

His latest film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” took around seven years to come together, Scorsese and his collaborators explained on a sunny Cannes terrace the day after the Apple-financed project premiered there to glowing reviews. (It will be released in theaters this October, then debut on the streaming service at a later date.) Still, the finished film is very different than the one Scorsese and his star, Leonardo DiCaprio, originally intended to make: The material couldn’t be cracked until they were willing to throw out every notion of what they first thought “Killers of the Flower Moon” should be. There, the Osage Nation is the country’s most prosperous tribe; indeed, the discovery of oil on their land has turned them into the wealthiest people per capita in all of America. "I think Marty and I just looked at each other and we felt there was no soul to it,” DiCaprio said.

Jimmy Ward, a member of the Osage Nation, was ticketed for shooting at a decoy white-tailed deer out of season. What started as a simple hunting violation turned into an ordeal that thrust Jimmy Ward into the middle of a legal battle between the state of Oklahoma and Native Americans. Mr. Ward, a member of the Osage Nation, was caught shooting at a decoy white-tailed deer set out by game officials to nab out-of-season hunters in November 2021. He managed to get four misdemeanor hunting violation charges against him in Carter County District Court dismissed by citing a landmark 2020 Supreme Court ruling that gave criminal jurisdiction for crimes committed by Native Americans on reservations to the federal or tribal governments.
