So tragic and even horrendous.

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. 💖

Intermissions will only help the movie theaters too. They get their money from concessions. People will be able to stretch their legs, go to the bathroom, and buy more food.
