The COMPLICATED Production of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON

[@FrameVoyager]

What's your gameplan for watching this 3.5 hour movie in theaters? Bathroom break or no bathroom break? 👀

[@kurtnelle]

Bathroom before, with no break. I'm not sitting down to watch this a second time.

[@connorbowen3987]

People wonder why no one wants to go to the movies anymore. Here you go. Maybe if the theater would offer screenings with an intermission i could spend $12 or $15 on a ticket, but im not paying that much to put myself through hours long piss holding torture. im not dehydrating before. im not going to be physically uncomfortable so I dont miss anything. i have a pause button at home.

I learned about these murders through my very close friends who are now Elders of the Osage Nation; one was my roommate in college. I had the privilege of being invited to the Osage dances this year at Grayhorse as I attended in 1979. Incredible friendships with my friends from Fairfax endure until this day, 48 years later. What you don’t see is how the Osage are highly educated and influence those around them with the joy of life. My roommate became a commercial pilot and later a cattleman in Fairfax. My other friends are engineers and other professional trades. They influence the arts by attending schools in NY and Kansas City. Maria Tallchief is the United States first Prima Ballerina. There is so much more that you could learn about this amazing group of people in Fairfax.

[@possessedbygenesis8585]

I think the movie is a masterpiece and is easily my favorite of the year so far, but you feel every second of that 3.5 hours. I do not think it is too long, it is exactly the right length for me, but his intentional filming/editing style really forces the audience to sit quietly during large lengths of the film. I could literally feel the boredom in my theater set in. I was hearing yawns and sighs and people fidgeting. The marketing for this movie very much sells it as a fast paced hard edged crime drama, and that it is not. Again, it is a masterpiece, but I had quite a few people I had to report to after to let them know. Not everyone will appreciate a film like this, especially in a theater.

[@nitsugazemag]

Can’t wait to see this film! I’ve been eager to see it since I’ve heard about the subject matter and all involved. I might not like all that Scorsese has made, but I appreciate his craftsmanship and dedication to film. It has been a very long time that a film involving Native Americans has circled the award season contention. In Hollywood, they are the most neglected groups of people from representation. I’m glad that they’ve decided to give them a voice in a film surrounding their history. Prieto is such a versatile cinematographer who’s already help bring Greta’s Barbie film to screen.

[@KerioFive]

Im glad this story was told and that we got it in a way Scorsese could tell it

[@lordmephisto6654]

Those 3.5 hours flew by. This movie tells a story and wastes no time in telling it to you.

[@merkinidgit]

I’m amazed at the people who found KotFM “tedious”. I have lived in Tulsa off and on for most of my long life, so I’ve watched as we grapple as a collective community with the resurfacing of the buried history of abominations against the Greenwood neighborhood (AKA Black Wall Street) in the 1921 Race Massacre and now this travesty against Osages dating the same timeframe. What I’ve noticed is that some people will go to the greatest of lengths to distance themselves from the feelings that also surface, of blame, guilt, and shame. Rather than reflect honestly and courageously on the past and it’s flow into our current events, and how many of us have benefitted at the expense of others’ suffering, they will lie, cheat, steal, complain, explain…anything to dissociate from those feelings. Maybe there’s tedium in this movie that just eluded me; I’m a pretty patient and quiet person down for a 4 hour epic and I’m certainly biased having lived in the area for so long and become involved in some AIM actions and Indigenous ceremonies and celebrations, but I do see that some of the complaints are likely this sort of emotional distancing.

[@VariTimo]

Prieto used the Alexa for low light work same as he did with Silence. It’s film for daylight stuff and some sets and digital for lower light work. It’s really obvious too in some scenes. They’re not really doing anymore to match the digital to the film footage except a LUT.

[@Digibeatle09]

As well respected as the cinematographer (on this movie) is, I was somewhat bemused by his stating that anamorphic was chosen because of the wide landscapes - my understanding is that a great number of movies are still shot in anamorphic - irrespective of the subject matter and, in particular, whether or not the type of landscape one associates with Oklahoma is involved ? Glad to be put right (I’m a lowly enthusiast who does micro budget (save for employing my trusty Red Komodo) short movies and using spherical lenses) - if I’m out of touch with industry trends and choices by DPs of anamorphic as against spherical !

[@b991228]

Good epilogue. Yes, this is a white-man’s story told with reverence. They tried their best to depict the white history carefully overlayed with the Osage travesty. In this civil war the indigenous people lost.

[@matthewvivian7235]

I've heard Tarantino say in an interview before that he considers himself one of the only true directors to shoot on film, because many, and he named Scorsese as an example, shoot night scenes on digital, because they're so hard to light for film. That may answer your question about the digital camera listed on iMDB.

I gotta say, Leo + DeNiro brilliant in this film. Tho it's a bit of a shame that Jesse Plemons didn't get more screen time or development.

I saw it in theaters. Didn't have to leave my seat. However, there were older people who got up at least three times, one man getting up a few times to take business calls and another woman who was reading the subtitles out loud to her grandson who was staring at snap chat. Attention spans are dead. Old people shouldn't be allowed in theaters and businessmen should stick to business. There were about 12 people in the theater. It was a shame. Great film. They did the book and culture justice.

A 3.5h movie about the murder of Indians from the point of view of a white guy directed by a white guy. I’m sorry but this ain’t it chive. How did this cost $200M? This is not a $200M dollar script. Even accounting for building all the sets and casting Leo and De Niro this is at most a $100M movie. Even if you factor in Covid $200M is completely bananas for this script.

[@mattlawrence1932]

We didn't need Leo playing a FBI agent working for J Edgar Hoover especially when he already literally played J Edgar himself a few years back...Leo was smart finessing Marty into letting him play a dimwit character especially considering Leo is the greatest actor of this generation & he already played super intelligent characters so many times , its a breath of fresh air to see a veteran actor play that type of role rather than the normal dimwit character that actors do to get Known in Hollywood....which Leo also did in thre past already in order to build his early career back in the day like the character he played in Gilbert Grape!!!! Its extremely rare to see such a seasoned masterclass actor to take on a role like that especially when he doesn't even have to

Disappointing that when you mentioned "A-list" cast, you deliberately left out Lily Gladstone., this shows again , how whitewashed you are in the conscious bias your script it. #TOTALBALONEY

[@FrameVoyager]

Given that this video was released before the film, what else has she done to be considered an A-list actress in the industry before this film? She is probably going to get nominated for this performance for sure. But saying "A-list" actor doesn't even really mean a "good or great" actor. Mark Wahlberg would be considered an A-list actor. I'd say he's a fairly average actor. And while I'd agree there has always been a disparity of representation in film, in this case, it wouldn't make sense to describe her as an A-list actor. Rising star or Breakout star is likely a better term to describe her. So no, I'm not whitewashing anything with that terminology. You could make a valid point that the film does that in general considering all of the white A-list actors on this, but to say I'm showing a white-washed conscious bias in the script because I didn't call Lily Gladstone an "A-list" actress, especially since there is no credible way to point to that, is kinda low. If you want to point out the fact that her not already being an "a-list" actress is because of that bias, you have a much stronger point.

[@patricksouthern2919]

I just can’t take this video seriously with over the top film grain effects you’ve applied to these images. It shows a fundamental lack of respect for the content that undermines your critical analysis.
