This is a must see movie for so many reasons , some of which are that it is has so many great actors as well as one of the Best Directors and Film Editors in the business. Since Covid we rarely get back to the movies as almost everything is streaming . This one isn't . The movie is 3 hours and 26 minutes "short" as it was such a terrific film to watch. I made certain I hit to the bathroom as I knew I wasn't going to leave a Scorsese movie to pee......suffice to say, I did not look at my watch once as the acting is superb with so many of the actors being ative American. It was filmed entirely in Oklahoma and the cinematography is on a level with Yellowstone and its prequels. The editing is superb and is done as always by Scorsese's life long editor Thelma Schoonmaker. The story is beautifully told as only Scorsese can do. Leonardo and DeNiro are Scorsese's go to best men and both were superb in their roles. Leonardo has put on some weight but then again he's 48 years old now. Going in we had seen the trailers and my wife said she hopes this isn't a gory movie......it's not. There are murders but nothing that makes you want to throw up.
Leonardo was the executive producer and I easily see the movie nominated and perhaps win him an Oscar for Best Actor as well as Best Picture ( I am awaiting Napoleon before I start making my predictions)
DeNiro for sure will get nominated, but would he be up against Leo for Best Actor or would her be Best Supporting Actor nominee. Both played lead roles IMHO
I noticed on Rotten Tomatoes that the Critics liked it more than the people and my only guess would have been the length.
The movie was prefaced by a short by Scorsese talking about how important it was for him to make the film . It is based on. a true story of the Osage Nation and how per capita they were the reaches people on earth at that time
From what I heard there have been two books written on the subject, one by a Native Indian and another by an American. There was some taking to task that the white man's version was the one from which the movie was made. I haven't read either story but this is one epic film
And for a typical Scorsese there is a jaw dropping cameo at the end with 2 academy award winners who have 3 scenes in the film for a few short minutes. And then to top that off, the ending of the film is also epic and wonderfully done and narrated by yet the 3rd jaw dropping cameo appearance
Not to be missed but be warned, pee first or bring your Depenz
