this movie was so good that I didn't realize how long it was until I left the theatre... I still listen to it's music from time to time specially "Osage Oil Boom" and "They Don't Live Long"
My friend invited me to this DGA screening and I got to see this interview with Spielberg and Scorsese. One of the greatest moments of my movie loving life
It's Scorsese's best since Casino. I've been watching his films since the early 80s, the first one I saw in theater was After Hours in 1985. It's funny how huge a meme Taxi Driver was before internet, people would just act "Are you talking to me?"
We live in a world where people dont know this movie was a masterpiece. Edit: the length was also perfect. I refuse to succumb to this gold fish attention span generation. If the story needs four hours then four hours it is.
I've never seen this, but it's interesting to see how split people are on it. Regardless it's pretty amazing that a director who's been doing it for 60 years can still cause that kind of strong reaction. Most old filmmakers lose that ability.
I went to see this on a late night showing and was struggling to stay awake towards the end(I wasn’t aware it was over 3h long). Definitely need to see it again. And that shot of Osage dancing in the oil rain was up there with Scorsese’s best.
I think there are better movies from last year like Oppenheimer, Godzilla Minus One and The Boy and the Heron. They were more fascinating to me compared to this crime movie, which feels like a lot of crime movies I have seen.
Not really. She just sat there and looked ill/depressed for a lot of the film. Not really a phenomenal display of acting, Stone was a much more deserving winner.
Despite being a 3-hours-long movie, Killers of the Flower Moon is a masterpiece anyway, we are lucky to still have Scorsese in the film industry. In fact, I'm glad he's back to work with Leo DiCaprio and especially with Robert De Niro, who he's worked with the most nearly 50 years throughout his career as a filmmaker.

@@mortystraphouse5077 You could argue the case if Gladstone was expected to win; However, Emma Stone was the strong favourite going in and swept most major awards. Sandra Huller and probably even Carey Mulligan had a better chance. It was her (Lily's) unexpected win in the Screen Actors guild awards that gave some momentum before the Oscars, but that went out the window when the BAFTAS didnt even nominate her.
When I saw Killers of the Flower Moon, the 3 hours and 26 minutes went by so fast that I decided to see a "Monday Mystery Movie" after. It's A Wonderful Knife was the movie and it was bad. Basically a sold out crowd sitting in silence thru every joke. It made me mad that they weren't all in the auditorium for Killers. When the other movie started it had a company logo "Divide/Conquer" so I thought that was the title and even though the movie was bad, it had almost the same plot of trying to take over a town by killing residents only it was Justin Long doing it.
Man De Niro was so good in this one. Rarely I have seen such a despicable, cunning, full of hatred , racist evil antagonist that truly makes your blood boil.
I love this movie...but its not about the osage people. Its a gangster fable. We're given just enough Osage suffering and character to give the story weight, but I'm more inclined to say call this a great movie about greed and power than a sympathetic understanding of their suffering
I found the movie incredibly uncomfortable - the cinematography, the musical score, the subject matter. An absolute masterpiece. I won't watch it again for a few years.
This was such an incredible movie, but it hurt to watch. Masterpiece indeed, but in the same way Schindler's List was. One should absolutely see both, at least once in their life, but I would not hold it against anyone if they came to the conclusion that once was enough.
@@mortystraphouse5077 I didn't see any bad CGI whatsoever. I was asking @just_delightful what their comment meant because they wrote, "Despite the really really really bad CGI in the first act". I didn't know what they meant as I didn't see any at all.
Not a "hit" tho is it. Not a lot of film fans I know tallkig about this trite yet beautifully shot movie. Very boring with fits and spurts of something almost happened.
I haven't seen Flower Moon or Irish Man or Bridge of Spies, but as far as I'm concerned, Scorsese and even Spielberg haven't made something I needed so see in 20 years.

@@stewartkee6115 Sorry mate, but I got you, naff reply, with name calling, the act of a defeat manchild. Keep watching eastenders and Danny Dyer, you fan.
I wanted to love this film so much but i've never been so disappointed. An incredibly dramatic, lttle known true story, somehow turned into a 3.5 hour snoozefest. Overlong, totally predicable, boring. Somehow there was no actual drama or conflict. Just a horrible guy, grudgingly going along with doing something horrible. Paid lip service to the osage but it should gave been made from their perspective. Can't believe people raving about it, feels like emperor's new clothes.
Hard disagree with him on this one. The shifting of the protagonist to DiCaprios character leaves the plot in complete shambles. I think its the bottom of Scorsese's barrel. Which is a fine barrel to be in but it didnt have to be this way. Film needed a new editor and another screenwriter. The novel deserved better.
100% with you. Lily's character fades into the background, and with it, the engine of the story. Leo and Deniro's characters have nothing redeemable by the end. Even Henry Hill had a moral compass of sorts in Goodfellas
Tepid praise from Spielberg, complimenting the aspect that hurt the film the most! In forcing the focus from the FBI investigation to the Osage, the entire thrust of the book is lost and the mystery is gone. We are told within the first 20 minutes of the movie who the bad guys are, and so the film takes on a dirge-like feeling of torture/misery porn. Since we know who the bad guys are.thenentire time, the feelings of discovery and mounting dread one feels from the book is gone.
That was a good movie. But it's politically problematic. The film acts as if the Federal government had no responsibility or share in the massacre of the Osage indians. And it makes the FBI, with Edgar Hoover at the helm, look like a savior. Scorsese looked for the blame in individual villains. But the evil was systematic.
@@sammyfabelman I dunno my brother that ending sort of makes it clear the problem is systemic I mean holy shit he implicates capitalists,movie studios and subsequently himself for being a white man telling this Osage story shows that white supremacy has won
It honestly was an overlong, miscast, underwritten mess that is held up by the reputation of its director. It had such thought provoking history to work with and he just ended up making another mob movie where the focus was on the two white actors who were way outside of their otherwise very wide ranges. He couldn’t pick a tone for Leo’s character and for some reason continued to try to make him somewhat sympathetic when he was clearly a villain. Deniros character had such little nuance and subtlety that it made the Osage look like naive fools the whole movie when this clearly evil character was taking advantage of them. And it was just. Too. Long. The plot was not intriguing enough to even begin to warrant the runtime. Which sucks because the investigation part was actually an interesting segment but you were so deep in the movie it was difficult to give it any sort of emotional investment.
Killers of the Flower Moon is underrated and Lily Gladstone got robbed of oscar as much as anybody ever has. actually racist for her to not win the award
@@Joshuanyc73 i agree with you on that. but race has played a factor before in awards you would agree; and i do think this is a unique contemporary example to consider; given shes native American. i think some of the voters chose a white actress over her because native american history and culture is so "fictional" to them. i feel like she was robbed. and it wasnt like with denzel for malcolm x when pacino won and it was "his turn"... emma stone already has an oscar and shes young. i just feel like Lily gave a timeless performance that will last forever and she deserved the award. and a native american has never won. why?
In ways, scorsese is awlays gonna make a good film from a filmmakers perspective...but Killers had virtually no plot, was way too long and missed the opportunity to create a film more closely aligned with the book where the full horror of what is going on is reveled through examining this world more through the story of the fbi rather than through ernest.
this movie was so good that I didn't realize how long it was until I left the theatre... I still listen to it's music from time to time specially "Osage Oil Boom" and "They Don't Live Long"
osage oil boom is such a banger RIP Robbie Robertson
Do you own a watch?
The Lenny/Ernest comparison is so spot on. A gentle, warm hearted and simple being that crushes what he adores.
The visuals match the words perfectly. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put it together
My friend invited me to this DGA screening and I got to see this interview with Spielberg and Scorsese. One of the greatest moments of my movie loving life
I'm jealous. It must have been surreal.
I just want to say that the soundtrack to this movie was first rate. Robbie Robertson you will be missed!
I was so grateful to see this, my first Scorsese movie that I saw in a theater

Steven Spielberg on PAW Patrol The Movie?
Some moments in life only need some audio recording to be truly special. This is one of those moments.
Spielberg said similarly nice things about Transformers.
We need a Spielberg/Scorsese podcast
Spielberg is way too busy
What a nice guy to compliment the movie in front of the director
Its scorsceses best work in almost a decade. Its better than silence and waaaay better than the irishman.
Wolf of Wall Street was my recent favorite from him.@@jop4833
Even if Spielberg genuinely means it, this is what Hollywood does - backslaps each other on a regular basis. Nothing new here.
They've been friends since the 70's.
Well they are close friends so there’s also that. Having said that it was a great film.
We live in a world where people dont know this movie was a masterpiece.
Edit: the length was also perfect. I refuse to succumb to this gold fish attention span generation. If the story needs four hours then four hours it is.
Normies don't know.
I know, right. People get hung up on the length of the movie but it was so good. I just watched it again and picked up more.
I think it is a great movie, but certainly masterpiece and did feel way too long and way too unpleasant.
They'll figure it out eventually
@@sij809 you’re just a pretentious asshole, bud.

I did love the movie very much aswell.
Haven't watched it yet. I'm waiting for a physical release.
Two gods on Mount Olympus chilling.
If this film was released a Year early, it would get the Oscar for Scorsese, Dicaprio and Lily Gladstone.
Lily would have definitely won the best supporting actress had she campaign for that. It wasn't really a leading role.
I second that. Same as Michelle Williams with The Fabelmans
With the crusty old white elite voting in Hollywood, Lily never had a chance. Just ask the cast of Straight out of Compton.
