So, I read this super interesting article about Leonardo DiCaprio’s new movie, Killers of the Flower Moon, and just had to share it with you! Apparently, this movie is one of the longest films since Gone With The Wind. It’s a crime thriller set in the 1920s, and it’s based on a true story about murders of wealthy Osage Indians in Oklahoma.
According to the article, the movie will be around 3.5 hours long, so you better come prepared with snacks! But honestly, I’m excited about the length because it means the creators will have more time to really delve into the story and characters. I mean, Leo is known for his incredible performances, so I can’t wait to see how he brings this role to life.
One thing that really caught my attention was the fact that the director, Martin Scorsese, had trouble finding funding for this movie because studios didn’t think a Western would be successful. It’s crazy to think that a movie with such a talented cast and crew would struggle to get made just because it doesn’t fit into a certain genre. But luckily, Apple TV+ stepped in and gave the project the green light.
I think this movie is important because it sheds light on a dark chapter in American history and shows the impact that greed and racism can have on marginalized communities. Plus, it’s always great to see a movie with a diverse cast, and I hope this paves the way for more representation in Hollywood.
Overall, I can’t wait to watch Killers of the Flower Moon and see how it compares to the epic length of Gone With The Wind. It’s definitely going to be a wild ride.
