Was a good movie. Not sure the accuracy of the movie, but hard to make history and facts woke.

Just because its known the people who did bad things were white doesnt mean all white people are bad.

What I don't get is, why does the movie make the white actors who portray the killers who genocided the town as the stars? Why couldn't Scorsese and the marketing company focus on the victims and cast well known actors in those roles?

Decaprio's character is portrayed as less evil in the movie than his real life counterpart who there was no doubt in regards to their intent. Being vague cause plot

But people have to realize this paints the movie as celebrating the killers, not the victims, right? People will go to the movie and start empathizing with the white stars, not the lesser known native american actors they don't know.

Ah yes they should have cast those well-known Native American actors.

Plenty of movies have villains as the stars. Are you going to argue that it's bad and will always make people sympathize with them?

Or maybe he shouldn't have nepo'd Leo and DeNiro into another movie? This movie is about how a native american town was slaughtered. This really happened. And he decided to cast two white mega stars to get people to watch it.

That's pretty bad.

It'd be like making a movie about slavery, but casting Matt Damon to be the slave owner and have him on all the posters. Or the Mai Lai massacre and doing the same thing. It's disgusting.

Yeah, everybody knows what National Review's angle is, but they have to assume that someone knows nothing about Scorsese's movies if they want anyone to buy into it.

I wouldn't expect anything less from Christo-fascist racist sacks of shit.

Scorsese literally rewrote the script because he realized it was too much from the perspective of a white person, and would literally "pass the mic" to the tribe it involves so they were telling it from their own narrative.

Of course right-wingers hate this because they think white men are entitled to saving everybody from their problems while denying they're the cause of them.

Anyways, can't wait to see it. Anything that makes those dickless dregs of society rage is usually pretty good.

No, no, it's US who are the real overly sensitive snowflakes!

Honestly, they should figure out how to run movie theaters off their projection because they'd end the reign of IMAX in a week.

Scorcese literally rewrote the script when he realized and acknowledged it had too much of a white-written lean to it and then had the actual Osage tribe this movie is about dictate most of it from their very own perspective & narrative.

I was hearing a member of the tribe talk about it (he was in the lobby during the showing on a live call into one of my progressive pundits who has a regular and weekly segment with him and a native woman from a Canadian tribe talk about issues and things from the Native perspective) and he was talking about how tribal elders were tearing up and it was hard to watch because within the first 15 minutes it's very brutally honest in its telling.

It's probably one of the most honest stories from their own perspective and narrative we'll get from Hollywood.

I'm guessing the reason they're the "stars" is because they're the bad guys. This is based off an actual event that happened after all and even from the previews I could clearly see the white people were not meant to be portrayed as heroes or saviors. Other than maybe LeoDio, and I don't know what accuracy if any his character brings to it.

Also, all the Osage characters are actual Osage tribe members. From the guy I learned that the old Hollywood standard was to bronze Italians to avoid using actual Natives.

His first political movie? The man directed Kundun. Just the act of making a movie about the Dalai Lama is already giving a middle finger to the Chinese gov't, and IIRC he wasn't trying to sugar coat anything that they did to the Tibetans.
