Killer of the Flower Moon

Today I want to tell you about a movie I saw yesterday afternoon, recommended by a cinephile who likes Scorsese's work. As always before I continue I give notice that my post only contains a breakdown of my opinion on the movie without giving spoilers, so you can read at ease since:

As I mentioned at the beginning, this film released last year is one of the latest works made by award-winning director Martin Scorsese whose film adaptation has his mark all over it, from start to finish. The film has a total running time of 206 minutes which equals three hours and twenty-six minutes. Yes, folks, that's how long it is.

The story focuses on the events against the Osage Indian nation in the 1920s, where oil-rich deposits were discovered for the first time. It tells the story of the injustices experienced by the Osage population thanks to the greed of the Americans.

The film has a first-class cast that from my point of view gave a great performance. What I liked the most was how she acted. I certify that she deserves an Oscar is Lily Gladstone and of course the legend of Robert De Niro, and I loved the role he played Jesse Plemons not to mention the role he offered Leonardo DiCaprio.

De Niro played the role impeccably and with his personal touch that makes him a great actor. The film had good scenery, photography, scenery, and costumes worthy of the era, details that can be easily appreciated and take you back to the 1920s.

As a curious fact, it is worth noting that the film received a few recognitions and awards from the academy, as well as a high score from critics in the area, standing out with a 7.1 out of 10 points with quite good, positive opinions and acceptance for the work offered by Scorsese.

In addition it is also ranked 22nd in the Ranking of Movies of 2023 that stood out. However, I expected it to be in the top 10, perhaps this was not achieved by the same aspects that I did not like about the film, and that weighted the end. These are details that are part of each person's taste and here I express mine.

The film had some suspense that I also liked and enjoyed, it surprised me with unexpected scenes, and well, Scorsese is not one of my favorites as a director because of how strong he usually shows his scenes. If you like his films like The Departed, The Shutter Island or Gangs of New York, you will have an idea of what to expect in the film.

As a final score and taking into account what I liked and what I didn't, I give it 🌟🌟🌟 out of 5 Little Stars. Would I watch it again, No, but it doesn't mean that the movie is bad. I still think it's worth seeing and that's why it's on my side:

Thanks for making it to the end of my post.
