Killers of the Flower Moon :
Certainly! It’s time to get into the mystic of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon. ’ Ponder what it must be like for Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio to embark on an exciting project for the movie. Picture this:
And did this only because Scorsese and co-writer Eric Roth spent two entire years on the script. First, they saw it from the bureau’s standpoint where two agents were assigned to investigate a series of murders related to the Osage Nation in the 1920s. However, DiCaprio, originally set to play the lead FBI agent, Tom White, posed a crucial question: The given task is rather ambiguous, but one can easily understand what kind of information is expected in this case: ‘Where is the heart of this story?’
The solution was found in its own context of the Osage people. Many scenes were changed and the second phase of work began, in which Scorsese and Roth decided to reconstruct the work anew, from within. Ernest Burkhart becomes the main character of the movie and DiCaprio plays the role of this character who is a World War I veteran, but becomes involved in his greedy uncle’s scheme to steal money from Osage Nation. His loyalty is most severely tried when, following the Civil War, he takes an Osage wife, Mollie (Lily Gladstone). A new version of the show was made and in this, Jesse Plemons replaced Donald Gloeckner for portraying the character Tom White.
One innovation of the film, in order to be real, the director Scorsese met 300 people of the Gray Horse community of Osage County, Oklahoma. Their motives or intentions were to understand the primary story from the Native American’s side and not exaggerate or dramatize it as Standing Bear and other Native Americans likely appreciated. The essence of the story came out, based on the Osage’s narrative and the brutality they had to face.
The shooting once removed here was a complete rewrite of the script, which ultimately differed from the original by a fully fifty percent. There is still no confirmed date for the release of this historical epic but this one that now has the heart-beat of Oklahoma.
