Here is the Killers of the Flower Moon Osage murders explained. This includes info on whether it's based on true story.
. Here’s a breakdown of the Osage Murders and the film’s inspiration.Killers of the Flower Moon is inspired by the novel “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI,” which is based on true events.
From 1918-1931, over sixty wealthy full-blood Osage Natives were reportedly killed, and newspapers described the period between 1921 and 1926 as the “Reign of Terror” due to the increasing number of unsolved murders. The new FBI was assigned to investigate the murders, which were later reported to be in the hundreds. But according to Grann, at least 24 Osage tribal members were murdered to get the “headrights” of the oil on their lands.While Killers of the Flower Moon film remains fairly accurate on most aspects, it downplays the Osage murders.
“The real murders were less about a singular plot or evil figure with henchmen, but rather many killings that were never properly investigated. Many people were complicit: Doctors with their poison, morticians covering up causes of death, lawmen staying silent. Many conclude the real death toll was in the scores, if not hundreds.”What happened to Leonardo Dicaprio’s Ernest Burkhart in real life?
