It's sad that "Flower Moon" went home empty handed at the Oscars, it deserved to win some awards, especially Best Actress. Hopefully, Lily Gladstone will receive another nomination in the future.

@jessrl8025

The moment Scorsese walked on and read the last moments of Molly's life, I choked up. It was beautifully done. A way of him mourning this real-life person and her attempts to help her people, but it is like you said, a self-examination of how we've treated violence and crime in media.

@davidb9531

It’s shocking to me how monumentally disregarded this film has been and how any intellectual criticism is boiled down to the puerility of “scorcese goes woke” - populism and politics has not only ruined the world but also film criticism

@antoinepetrov

I was recently thinking about how Scorsese now is for cinema what Hitchcock was in the 70s. The genius director, acclaimed by everyone and the source of cinematic wisdom for all. This said, Scorsese has done much more for cinema than Hitchock ever did - his contribution to film history and preservation is astounding. Add to that the fact that he's still making masterpieces (unlike Hitchcock in his later years) and I don't know how weird a person should be to dislike Marty.

@lovesickmovie

As an indigenous man, this is a great analysis of the movie. I commend you for your diligent research, patience and empathy for the actual history of what happened on turtle Island

@BatAmerica

I am so glad that this movie gave Mollie more screen time and didn't shy away from the disturbing nature of these murders. We can hear over and over that murder is evil and be told that Native American people suffered. Still, by showing it, especially when it contextualizes this terrifying history through a more human lens, we can get a small inkling of how these people felt during the atrocities. This choice, paired with Lilly's heartbreaking performance, really made the viewing experience and message impactful.

@Advent3546

The ending still shakes me to my core. Scorsese personally reading out the eulogy for Molly followed immediately by the Osage celebration was powerful.

@natepoch2416

I thoroughly enjoyed “Oppenheimer,” but “Killers of the Flower Moon” shot my jaw through the floor. Absolute masterpiece.

@sean6721

Love the meta commentary. Him possibly accusing himself as a wolf, or us being wolves for indulging in the entertainment that is based on the suffering of a culture and subsequent commoditization of their culture, tragedy, and story by the ones who created the suffering. I appreciate his self reflection in this work more than his other movies. His 'shame' in participating in the glorification, our general misunderstanding of his obsession with 'wolves' and the darker side of the United States and American culture by us not seeing or not caring about how bad his characters can be.

@lucasarif4387

that intro with the osage dancing in the oil has stuck with me ever since i first watched the film. i was high but i was smiling through the whole thing. genius filmmaking.

@matthewmcshane399

i like how this movie demystifies criminals in movies with the Hales by showing how pathetic, slimy and frankly stupid they are, which adds to the disgust over their violent actions being done for stupid reasons, as well as showing how inept they with the fact that their conspiracy fell apart pretty quickly when someone actually started investigating them.

@SidPhoenix2211

One of the best bit of praise I can give to this 3.5-hour movie is that right after finished it, I wanted to rewatch it immediately. Easily one of my favourite movies of all time.

@krustoff24

My favorite film of last year. I have talked to people who have said the length and the pace made them feel like they'd never watch it again and I couldn't understand that criticism because I found the dichotomy between the banal evil from DeNiro and DiCaprio's characters (and their cohorts) contrasted against the Osage people so gripping. The way it subverts the typical thriller trope and tells you right up front that Ernest and co. love money more than they love the people in their community is so fascinating. And as you said, the 2nd to last scene with the radio show is so jarring and profound that I found myself super glued to the screen seeing it in theaters.

@Brian_Boru

Thanks for continuing to discuss Killers of the Flower Moon. It deserves to be remembered. I still think about it often. Such a haunting film.

@sethpfeiffer47

I’m surprised there was no mention of the storm in the credits. That’s what really got me after the epilogue, was sitting with the storm like Molly asked Earnest to earlier in the film. That was such a good way to finish everything off.

@glyphsandclutter

sincerely have not stopped thinking about that epilogue since I saw the film months and months ago

@depressedpebbles

This movie is 3 1/2 hours but I honestly could've watched another hour. It's brilliant and such an immersive historical film. It feels so real and distinct. Everything about this film is fantastic. The technical elements fit so well together. The score is perfect. It feels so old timey but modern at the same time. I absolutely loved it, and Scorsese's cameo sealed the deal for me. I think it was a sweet moment for Scorsese as the filmmaker to speak directly to the audience and show why this period and situation is so important to remember as we go forward. I'm just so glad that this story is being told in a mainstream narrative. I really hope that the Osage people are satisfied with the way this film portrayed their culture and history.

@Brolo214

There’s a moment in The Wolf of Wall Street during a chaotic office scene when the Devo song Uncontrollable Urge starts playing. Devo’s mission, especially in that first album, was to reveal the de-evolution of humanity. I read this as Scorsese saying that the naked pursuit of money is de-evolving us.
