Killers Of The Flower Moon

with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio

The Plot

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is a 2023 American epic Western crime drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Martin Scorsese. The screenplay is based on the 2017 non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann. Let me give you an overview of the film:

This gripping crime drama delves into a lesser-known chapter of American history, shedding light on the tragic events that unfolded during the Osage Reign of Terror. 🎥🌺🔍

For more details, you can check out the film’s Wikipedia page ¹..

The Film

Here’s a concise review of the film Killers of the Flower Moon:

Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a masterful historical drama that delves into the hidden violence lurking in plain sight. Set around the turn of the last century, the film revolves around the Osage Nation, the wealthiest group of people in the country per capita due to oil discoveries in Oklahoma.

The story centers on three characters:

Ernest Burkhardt (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), a war veteran who becomes entangled in a web of murder and conspiracy.
William King Hale (portrayed by Robert De Niro), a sociopathic cattle baron who manipulates everyone around him.
Mollie, Ernest’s wife (played by Lily Gladstone), who faces tragedy and danger as her family members are systematically murdered.

Scorsese deftly balances the specific tragedy of these characters with a broader commentary on the nature of evil. The film isn’t a traditional gangster picture, but it resonates with Scorsese’s exploration of corrupt, violent men. It’s a remarkable epic that uncovers a secret history of American power, leaving an indelible mark on the viewer¹²³.

In summary, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a long, slow, and complex masterpiece that immerses us in murky ethics and storytelling, all while shedding light on a dark chapter in American history⁴.

And in short: One of the best roles ever, I suppose! I read some of her interviews as well! The Sydney Girl & True Aussie … living with the Playright Upton and a few children mostly in Sydney Australia.

Hope to see her one day at the Beaches of Burleigh Queensland for sure …. And I know I will recognize her immediately … and her husband as well.

And I will certainly never forget the name of her dog, as I love dogs and remember their names more than the ones of their owners …

So why this list? I have seen quite a few films over the last 60 years, however an overview with good films and very actors is pretty hard to find because of genre, personal taste or priorities.

Like reading good books I do not really wish to know before about plot or characters or what happens when, it is more about style and how a novel is crafted – gutes Handwerk in fact! And films must be good or the actors must be good!

So in short, my little overview here is neither culturul nor of any special value or MUST HAVE SEEN films, it is more about well crafted films by good directors and very good actors.

And not really interested in James Bond ? No worries at all, I can even watch old ones from 1964 or so like GOLDFINGER, because I have not seen them for ages and completely forgotten the action – not the actor for sure.

So it is about having fun and a little bit like a nostalgic movie night with chips and popcorn and a cold one a glass of RED – for sure ….

Have fun and enjoy my list of suggestions and check them out: Where you might ask? Well, not a Binge watcher I have Apple TV and Netflix and Amazon Prime … And this is a good start for any of you making use of the search function by actor or Director or Title.

A Short Biographie of Steve Mcqueen

Steve McQueen was an American actor who was born on March 24, 1930, in Beech Grove, Indiana. He began his career in the 1950s with small roles in television shows and films, and rose to prominence in the 1960s with starring roles in films such as “The Magnificent Seven,” “The Great Escape,” and “Bullitt.”

McQueen’s acting style was known for its cool, detached demeanor and his performances often involved physical stunts and action sequences. He was also known for his love of cars and racing, which was reflected in some of his films.

In addition to his acting career, McQueen was an avid car racer and owned a number of high-performance vehicles. He competed in many races, including the 12 Hours of Sebring, and was a member of the United States Off-Road Hall of Fame.

McQueen’s personal life was often turbulent, and he was married three times. He was also known for his association with the “Rat Pack,” a group of actors and entertainers that included Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

McQueen died on November 7, 1980, at the age of 50, from complications related to cancer. He left behind a legacy as one of the most iconic and influential actors of his generation, and his films continue to be beloved by audiences around the world.

Steve McQueen starred in many popular and critically acclaimed films throughout his career. Some of his best-known films include:

“The Magnificent Seven” (1960)
“The Great Escape” (1963)
“Bullitt” (1968)
“The Thomas Crown Affair” (1968)
“Papillon” (1973)

McQueen was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in “The Sand Pebbles” (1966) and also received a Golden Globe nomination for the same performance. He won a BAFTA Award for Best Actor for his role in “The Reivers” (1969) and was posthumously awarded the United States Military Academy’s highest civilian honor, the Sylvanus Thayer Award, for his contributions to the US Army and his portrayal of military characters in his films.

In addition to his acting awards, McQueen was also inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame and the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in those fields. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors and cultural icons of his time.

A Short Biographie of James Dean

James Dean was an American actor who was born on February 8, 1931, in Marion, Indiana. He is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and influential actors of the 20th century, and his brief but impactful career helped to redefine the possibilities of acting and film.

Dean began his acting career in the early 1950s with small roles in television shows and films. He quickly gained attention for his intense, naturalistic acting style and his striking good looks. His breakthrough came in 1955 with his starring role in “East of Eden,” which earned him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Later that same year, Dean starred in “Rebel Without a Cause,” which cemented his status as a cultural icon and teenage heartthrob. His performance in the film, which dealt with issues of teenage rebellion and identity, has been credited with shaping the emerging youth culture of the 1950s.

Dean’s final film was “Giant” (1956), in which he starred alongside Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson. The film was a massive success, and Dean’s performance was widely praised. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident just weeks before the film’s release, at the age of 24.

Despite his tragically short career, Dean left an indelible mark on the world of film and popular culture. His naturalistic acting style and rebellious image helped to pave the way for the “New Hollywood” era of the 1960s and 70s, and his influence can still be felt in the work of actors and filmmakers today.

James Dean only starred in three feature films before his untimely death, but all of them are considered classics of American cinema:

“East of Eden” (1955) – This was Dean’s breakout role, and he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of Cal Trask, a troubled young man seeking the approval of his father.
“Rebel Without a Cause” (1955) – This film, which dealt with teenage rebellion and angst, became a cultural touchstone and solidified Dean’s status as an icon of youth culture.
“Giant” (1956) – This epic Western drama starred Dean alongside Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson. Although he played a supporting role, Dean’s performance as the rough and rugged Jett Rink earned him critical acclaim and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest actors of his generation.

All three of these films are considered classics of American cinema, and Dean’s performances in each of them are widely regarded as iconic.

The Three Colors Trilogy is a series of three films directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski, each named after a color of the French flag. The trilogy consists of Blue (1993), White (1994), and Red (1994). Each film explores a different theme, but all three are connected by the themes of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Blue tells the story of Julie, a woman who loses her husband and daughter in a car accident. She tries to start a new life and forget her past, but she is haunted by memories of her past life. The film explores themes of grief, loss, and the search for freedom.

White is a dark comedy about Karol Karol, a Polish hairdresser who is divorced by his French wife. He returns to Poland and becomes involved in a series of schemes to get rich. The film explores themes of revenge, power, and the nature of love.

Red tells the story of Valentine Dussaut, a young model who accidentally hits a dog with her car. She takes the dog to its owner, a retired judge who eavesdrops on his neighbors’ phone conversations. The film explores themes of fate, chance encounters, and the interconnectedness of human lives.

The trilogy is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in European cinema. It has won numerous awards and has been praised for its visual style, complex characters, and philosophical themes ¹. Roger Ebert called it “one of the great movie achievements of our time” ¹.

If you are interested in watching these films, I would highly recommend them. They are thought-provoking and visually stunning.
