Current Events > killers of the flower moon comes out today

(+) Yeah! (+)

Definitely plan on catching this one in theaters. Unfortunately right now the had a showing that at earliest started at 2:30. Since the movie is 3 1/2 hours long thats kind of late. Wish they had an earlier showing but Ill probably catch it next week.

I'm interested

Probably sucks

looks like ce is full of cinema haters, losing 3-10 atm

I'm interested, but probably not enough to go see it in theaters. Unless someone else wants to see it, I'll probably just eventually watch it on streaming or something.

do people actually pay for apple tv+ though

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON destroyed me. It's the right film for the wrongest of times. We belong dead.

new review dropped lol

Can't wait to watch it, but not in theaters. Don't want to spend 4 hours at a theater between the 3.5 hr runtime and previews.

I really hope it doesn't fall into the white savior complex with DiCaprio's character

Tripe, I only watch high art like comic book movies

Ill watch any Scorsese movie but I hope its not like over 2.5 hours long. Been struggling with those lately.

idk if this is a joke or not but its like 206 minutes

This I will definitely watch, as soon as it's on streaming.

name is so try hard. movie is probably just as try hard.

Saw it yesterday. It was really good. Fucking Taylor Swift movie sound bled into my theater but otherwise it was a really good movie. Didn't feel like a 3 and a half hour movie. Pacing was good.

yeah i got tickets for monday cuz i don't wanna hear cruel summer bleeding in while genocide is happening

When I first read that it was showing, I thought for a fraction of a second that it was a Halloween showing of Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I don't think that I've ever known such disappointment in my life.

I'm sure it's a good movie. Maybe I'll watch it when it isn't Halloween month. Right now, I'm pretty starved for seasonal entertainment.

I might go see it next week. Looks interesting.

Waiting for my dad to feel better from his illness to go take him to see it. Hopefully next week

I'd rather watch a 3.5 hour movie in theaters and get it over with than on Netflix. I tried watching All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix and couldn't bring myself to finish the last hour... It's gory, and it's also long

Just not interested, but I hope you like it

seeing more reactions from people getting out of showings rn

someone said it could be his magnum opus. others saying lily gladstone gives the most devastating performance ever in a mainstream film. another said its like if the entire last hour of irishman was a full length movie lol

not helping temper my expectations

pretty wild how you could argue scorsese is on the best run of his career with wolf-silence-irishman-moon

You'd be guessing wrong, and that's only further reason for the concern

The trailer looked pretty cool

I saw in in theaters on Tuesday, three days ago at an advanced screening.

Leo (and DeNiro) stole the show. But hard movie to enjoy given the subject content.

Do you?

tbh I began to question how Leo became the main character of this story after a while

I want to watch it but Im holding out to hopefully watch it with my friend. We both love crime and gangster movies and she is indigenous so it seems perfect imo

if you know the story then why would you think leo becomes a white savior

Bore-sese? No thx. I'll find a good movie to watch.

the script was originally a murder mystery centered on jesse plemons' character. then they decided that would be boring (also white savior thing) and decided to focus on the ernest/mollie relationship which is where you could get into some knotty fucked up interpersonal stuff that makes the story more terrifying

Because American movies always do that shit--and how often do movies ever stay true to the actual stories? Even someone else in this topic who's seen it already says the focus is mainly on Leo, so...

it focuses on leo yeah instead of the fbi guy like the book does.

anyway have you even read a single review or seen the trailers or are you just saying dumb shit for fun?

I'll probably wait for a home release due to the length.

also, from what I hear, the main actress did a really good job with her role.

I'm concerned about a popular movie expressing unhealthy stereotypes and tropes and you call that dumb shit? Damn, I think you might need to reflect a little before your next post, or maybe just not post at all since you seem to lack the ability to discuss serious issues and retort to everything like an ignorant child >_>

youre making baseless assumptions like an ignorant child i think

do you even know who martin scorsese is? have you seen his films? is he a filmmaker who traffics in that kind of stuff?

A stunning work of bearing witness that builds to an unforgettable ending that openly challenges the very nature of the preceding three hour film and implicates no less than the entire American viewing public, starting with Scorsese himself.

When people say "Scorsese only makes crime films," they're not altogether wrong. This is basically a prairie mob film. But crime, to Scorsese, is not just about the guns and money. It's about the deep, complicated processes of rationalization, cognitive dissonance, and cynical disavowal that people engage in, at that constant metabolic rate, to justify their own existence. It's about the way we create systems--social, economic, political, psychological--to account for what might be basic cruelty. Not basic to humanity. But fundamental to the project of "America," and the ornately arranged economic structure that undergirds it. A damning film from an elder statesman whose critique--of the world, and of himself--is only getting sharper, meaner, and truer.

a propulsive, yet patient, elegy and apology for capitalism and its inherent brutality and displacement; Martys most violent film

more reviews are rolling in folks. hype meter is off the charts

I have little interest in going to theaters these days but I'll definitely check it out when it comes to streaming services.

One of the guys on the morning radio show I listen to at work was talking about it the other day and it sounds really good.

cant believe yall are really gonna subscribe to apple tv+ instead of seeing possibly the last film by one of the greatest filmmakers we've ever had in the theater

smh my head

I got a $5 ticket courtesy of T-Mobile, so I'll probably see this today.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


that will be the only way to watch it outside of theaters. unless you plan on illegally pirating it which unfortunately means you have no morals. sad.

I went out to watch it with my nephew.

It should have been cut by about 20 minutes or so, but beyond the pacing issues the movie is REALLY good.

scorsese did a surprise appearance tonight at the theater i am seeing the movie at on monday

god dammit

pwnt

He says Marvel movies are repetitive while treating us to yet another film based on the real-life murders of members of the Osage tribe in the 1920s.

Im the kind of person who cant appreciate these movies at all. Any Oscarbait in general really. I love to think that Im just more into weird indie stuff. Im probably just too stupid for them though, at least thats what people say about people who dont like Scorsese and Nolan films.
