Killers of the Flower Moon Review

Scorcese is fascinated by the intricate specificity with which larger polticial forces play out. Perhaps it was in some sense inevitable, as Bill Hale argues, that the American settler-colonial machine would consume and digest any wealth that found its way into native hands—but that process is also made up of decisions made by over and over again by people, driven by their confidence in its inevitability, and destroying real people in its horrible wake. By focusing on these people, the film tries to make sense of and personalize an atrocity that is easy to consider abstract from our perch in the 21st century.
