So tragic and even horrendous.

Such a disturbing part of our Nation's history. That far too people know. I grew up in Oklahoma and was married to a native American. We were not taught this history in school. The book was so moving and downright scary. As glad as I am that more people will see this film, I'm not sure I can watch the violence myself. Makes my heart hurt.

[@asanitheafrofuturist]

He could so easily have whitewashed this, but he chose to work with the people whose families and communities lived this and were affected by these events. That speaks to his character, integrity, and professionalism.

Got a buddy that worked on this movie, he was in Oklahoma for six months total. Said the shooting was hard but a lot of fun as well. DiCaprio is apparently nice but doesn’t talk so much and takes his craft super super serious. Same with De Niro. Scorsese is a little more relaxed and likes to joke around a bit. But it’s ofc depended on the day and what type of scenes they were shooting.

[@yasminhelenendangeredspecies]

Well, in my eyes this Film has already succeeded. Just watching the trailer gets me all teared up. I can say that when a story so tragic as this comes to the big screen it is hard towatch in a movie theatre amongst a bunch of strangers. I didn't use to feel this way but as I have grown older and experienced or rather...become more mature and wise enough to recognize certain attitudes that aren't always favorable against other ethnic groups--and even as regrettably the climate (political), some people tend to lump all ethnicities into one big group and just look down on so many--there is now a recognition and a need to be more protective of my own emotions as they tend to get used against me by certain people--getting to a point here is that it is painful to watch something so heavy and so meaningful in a public setting. Knowing that my own emotions and reactions are going to be judged. Then it becomes an awareness that overtakes the real feelings and I now have to be guarded and can't truly feel how I feel. Or show how i feel. Anyway, I want this Movie to do well so very much so! What a great Interview about an important film that has taken years to get here. Already keeping Miss Lilly Gladstone in my thoughts for that Oscar🏆. I hope and too feel like she is now on the cusp of so many great things to come. I feel it and I know it. Lilly-You are so Beautiful-Honest!!!-and Amazing! As for that CoolKat Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio is he just so Sweet or what? He IS. When i see him in this role its almost as if he captured the pain-horror-the loss and these crimes and he molded his facial features into such contortions as to show those feelings and then he added ignorance-refusal to see the pain and crimes and then...he fell in love with Mollie! Woah..thats a lot of stuff! I want this film to do well because I know he has put so much of his Heart and Soul into it. Same for Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro. Such a Fine C A S T 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 thinking of Jessie Plemmons and the searingly brilliant Novel by David Grann...more importantly that this Truth got Told! It is a Painful and very tragic truth but there it is 😭😭😭 Sending you my Love 💖 and Hoping this Movie just Sweeps up all the Oscars and that the Osage Nation and all their people --May they feel some Comfort for once. After everything!!! May their Souls begin to heal ~ May their cries be heard and Listened to for who they are and what they went through. 💖

Tragic irony in Oklahoma. Former Osage Nation Principal Chief Jim Gray told of a Dewey High School (Oklahoma) teacher who said last year she chose not to assign the book “Killers of the Flower Moon” to her students because she feared discussing the racial dynamics of the Osage murders could prompt an HB 1775 complaint. HB 1775 is one of those laws like they have in Florida that not only forbids teaching history that might make certain people (take a guess) uncomfortable, but also can be sued and fired. “We’re in a very interesting political dynamic where on one side you see the state of Oklahoma promoting this film because they gave tax credits to the filmmaker while at the same time the content of the story isn’t fit to be taught in public schools,” Gray said.
