I grew up in Oklahoma and have Osage friends. It’s a good story to tell but this must not be any good. Haven’t seen and now won’t. Sad really.

Additionally, Flower Moon is being sold as an adult epic that must be seen in theaters with two big movie stars: Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

THAT is the problem....................

The trailer I saw seemed to be white guilt type of garbage.

I don’t know how woke the movie is, I haven’t seen it. But it is an interesting story.

Osage Indian murders

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osage_Indian_murders

This story was done as a segment of the 1959 movie, The FBI Story, starring Jimmy Stewart

It was too long and Scorsese wanted the guys to be the stars.

It left people confused wandering who they were suppose to root for. Surely they would come to see that murdering people was not the way to go? Nope.

“When oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma under Osage Nation land, the Osage people are murdered one by one - until the FBI steps in to unravel the mystery.”

3H 26M (I wouldn’t even watch a Star Trek movie that long)

all I’ll see of it is the ad for it. Got the gist that it was another woke POS that fell out of Hollywood’s butt.

The book is great.

I’m interested to see it, but a couple of things put me off. I really dislike DeNiro. I really dislike fake Hollywood country accents, which DiCaprio seems to have adopted. And 3 hours is much too long.

It’s not woke. But it is a prestige flic. They aren’t there to make money, they exist to get awards and make a studio “important”. Nobody thought it was going to make money. Scorsese is in that zone though, the studios want to be in the Scorsese business and know they’re going to lose money, and don’t care.

...De Niro has grown into a cranky old man who makes no secret about how much he hates half the country.

De Niro's political stance is enough to drive me away from anything he's a part of. I hope the movie's revenues drop to zero.

bottom line:

budget: $200m
total box office after 10 days in release (US+Intl): $85

Reminds me of Heaven’s Gate (1980) with a then enormous budget of $44m and a (US+Intl) b.o. of $3.5m.

Seemed interesting until I saw Deniro’s and Decaprio’s mugs on the trailer. Hard pass from me.

Good. I’d love to punch DeNero in the face.

I had a free 3 months on Apple TV.
What a bunch of WOKE programming.
Only two shows worth watching.
Greyhound and Supermodels.
Its unbelievable how much the butchered “Foundation”
I like Apple phones and computers but their programming makes Disney look like Nixon.
