In Cannes, Scorsese and DiCaprio turn spotlight toward Osage Nation
It was well into the process of making “Killers of the Flower Moon” that Martin Scorsese realized it wasn’t a detective story. Scorsese, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and screenwriter Eric Roth had many potential avenues in adapting David Grann’s expansive nonfiction history, “Killers of the Flower...

"Scorsese, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and screenwriter Eric Roth had many potential avenues in adapting David Grann’s expansive nonfiction history, “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI.” The film, which will open in theaters in October, chronicles the series of killings that took place throughout the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma. The Osage were then enormously rich from oil on their land, and many white barons and gangsters alike sought to control and steal their money. Dozens of Osage Native Americans were killed before the FBI, in its infancy, began to investigate. Among the most-praised performances has been that of Lily Gladstone, the actor of Blackfeet and Nimíipuu heritage.
Gladstone, who singled out Scorsese. “Who else is going to challenge people to challenge their own complicity in white supremacy in such a platform except as this man here?” “We’re speaking of the 1920s Osage community. We’re talking about Black Wall Street and Tulsa. We’re talking about a lot in our film,” she continued. “Why the hell does the world not know about these things? Our communities always have. It’s so central to everything about how we understand our place in the world.” “This story, much like the Tulsa massacre, has been something that people have started to learn about and started to understand is part of culture, part of our history,” said DiCaprio. <-- Give me a break!
Why would Martin throwaway his career by making a woke-left propaganda film like this? And why make a film that paints the FBI as the good guys during a time right now when the FBI has been exposed as the most corrupt organization on the face of the planet? Does he actually expect us to believe that there was some sort of genocide inflicted on Native Americans back in the 1920's? This so-called author made ridiculous claims such as:
"Many were angry at the sight of “rich redskin” and their white servants, and nervous that the reversal of the status quo when it came to race and societal position in Osage territory would soon spread to the country as a whole. When the government realized that the rocky, hilly outcrop deeded to the Osage in the late 1870s was valuable, they took pains to try and keep the Osage from actually seeing the profits they made from it. Essentially, the government felt entitled to the Osage’s ancestral land, seized it in a fit of greed, and then desperately tried to backpedal by instituting even further methods of control and corruption when they realized that they had essentially handed the tribe the keys to the greatest wealth in the nation."
That is a bunch of crap...this is the crap they are trying to put into our history books and shove down the throats of our children....Does he not know we have real history books and we can read what really happened back then? Even tho doing so is basically CRT and should be forbidden unless the narrative fits a revised history that makes us feel better. It is time to fight back against this woke-mind virus; boycott this movie in the same vain we boycotted Bud Light, Disney, Target, North Face, M&M's, Nike, etc, etc....it's time to teach the left that no one cares about their distorted view of history....if anything, we have treated the Native Americans and other darkie minorities too good in this country...why won't the media make movies about that? It was bad enough they got rid of the Redskins, when is it enough??
