Killers of the Flower Moon (Martin Scorsese, October 6, 2023) Movie • Page 2

FUUUUUCK yes. I'm going to call it right now: she wins an Oscar for this.

 

The Reichardt effect

 

Hell yeah Meth Damon

 

Going to keep confusing this and devil

 

Jesse Plemons rules.

 

Hate that Leo's role has diminished, but can't wait to see what Plemons does with the character.

 

one of my faves going right now

 

Why did Leo end up in a different role? awesome for plemons though

 

Let’s go

 

I like to think Plemons just super politely bullied Leo out of the starring role, Todd style

 

He’s also the better actor

 

The only Scorsese film DiCaprio doesn't bring down is The Wolf of Wall Street because he is basically playing a version of himself.

 

i have problems with the departed but I would not say leo brings it down

 

He doesn’t bring down the aviator either.

 

yes he does. come on.

 

He feels very forced, which is a big problem given that his character is also someone who is pretending.

 

Wow, the takes in here right now.

 

Would prefer a movie about the exploitation of indigenous people to be told from their perspective. pass.

 

My friend and I have talked about that. Obviously that’d be wonderful but Scorsese has a strength at deconstructing whiteness and maleness, showcasing their complicity in violence and how it’s the dark part of so many of our American fables and immigrant stories. I’m very interested in how he’ll handle it and until I’ve seen the film there’s not much to go on.

also if you want to support one of our great current indigenous actresses see Lily Gladstone in everything she’s in.

 

It is one of those tricky situations because you do not get the same level of budget and exposure if you do not have names like Scorsese, DeNiro, and DiCaprio attached. Scorsese has been very thoughtful and delicate when he has made films about other groups and cultures, and he always does his research.

 

Y'all are crazy

Leo + Marty = greatness

I've loved most of their films together except for Shutter Island which I still very much enjoyed
