Zack Sharf Digital News Director Devery Jacobs, the Indigenous actor best known for playing Elora on three seasons of FX and Hulu’s “Reservation Dogs,” took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the “strong feelings” she had about Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” She called out the $200 million Western crime epic for not portraying its Osage characters with “honor or dignity” and for further dehumanizing them by depicting their deaths. The film is based on a true story and centers around the Reign of Terror, a term given to the murders of at least 60 members of the Osage nation in the late 1920s.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Colorful blankets play a huge part in Native culture. And therefore, they also play an important role in Martin Scorsese‘s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Osage clothing consultant Julie O’Keefe explains the blankets became an essential part of storytelling, and are “an expression of how we represent ourselves even to this day.” Scorsese brought on costume designer Jacqueline West to craft the looks for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” “He wanted this to be character-driven, with the clothes and wardrobe helping to tell the story,” West explains.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese’s $200 million epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” based on David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book, centers on the Reign of Terror, a term the Osage Nation used to define the murders of at least 60 community members in the late 1920s. The film tells this true crime tale through the lens of a marriage between Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), a World War I veteran who relocates to Oklahoma to work with his rancher uncle, and Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone), a local Osage woman whose family was one of the community’s wealthiest. Robert De Niro stars as Ernest’s uncle, William Hale.
Leonardo DiCaprio‘s “endless” ad-libs in Killers Of The Flower Moon left Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro “rolling their eyes”, according to the director.Scorsese’s 26th film is based on the true story of the murder of more than 60 Native Americans in 1920s Oklahoma and stars De Niro and DiCaprio as an uncle and nephew plotting to steal the oil underneath the tribe’s land.DiCaprio is renowed for improvising his lines in films, but while filming the period piece, the actor apparently tested the patience of his co-star and director.His improvisations were “endless, endless, endless”, Scorsese told The Telegraph, while “Bob [De Niro] didn’t want to talk.”The 80-year-old director, who has made multiple films with both actors, said: “Every now and then, Bob and I would look at each other and roll our eyes a little bit. And we’d tell [DiCaprio]: ‘You don’t need that dialogue.’”This comes after Scorsese recently revealed that DiCaprio asked for a major overhaul of the film’s script two years into the writing process.While the film ended up being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t the original plan.
