Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon makes several changes from the David Grann book.
The Big Picture Of all the historical dramas you’ll ever see, there are few that make such critically significant changes from their source material quite like Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro, it depicts the true story of how the Osage were murdered for their wealth in 1920s Oklahoma.
Killers of the Flower Moon Release Date October 20, 2023 Director Martin Scorsese Cast Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers Rating R Genres Drama, Crime, History Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Is More Central in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Not only is the film at its best when Gladstone is on screen, but it is much more centered around her character of Mollie than the book was.
Robert De Niro’s William Hale Is Clearly Evil From the Start in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Not only is De Niro’s most recent collaboration unlike anything he and Scorsese have ever done together, but it is also one where his character of Hale is revealed as being a wolf in sheep’s clothing almost right from the jump.
'Killers of the Flower Moon' Is Not About the FBI Solving a Mystery Though Jesse Plemons does make a great small appearance towards the end of the film as investigator Tom White, who was essentially the driving force of the entire middle of the book, this is not a story where the cavalry from the government will swoop in to save the day.
Scorsese Himself Steps Under the Spotlight in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' In an unexpected cameo where the director pulls back the curtain on the whole film, we are taken out of the story and into a radio play. Though Grann had made reference to such events and the way they sanded down the full reality of what happened, Scorsese actually goes about bringing it to life.
