Page 18 a Shelton-Mason County Journal — Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023 Forget Leon— ardo DiCaprio; Lily Gladstone is the one to watch in Mar- tin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Courtesy photo Review: The three-and-a-half hour movie flies by continued from page 17 own, and she ultimately concludes that the neph- ew of the independently wealthy “King” Hale has no need to chase her for her money. Unfortunately for Mo]- lie, she underestimates the white man’s greed and the duplicitousness of the pa- ternalistic, self—proclaimed “King of the Osage,” since we see “King” Hale tak- ing the time to address the Osage people in their language, by their proper titles, extending a variety of financial and medical assis— tance that inevitably turns out to be hooked bait. As much as I would have preferred Gladstone to have received more of the screen time set aside for DiCaprio and De Niro, De Niro does a better job ofjustifying his time on screen, as he offers insidious suggestions to his more simple-minded neph- ew, first that Ernest should court an Osage woman who would inherit oil rights, and then that he should see to her medical care. Not that this lets Ernest off the hook for his complic- ity, because for as much as he claims to love his wife, what DiCaprio does very well is depict the rough— hewn wheels slowly turning inside the man’s otherwise empty head, before be de— liberately turns a blind eye to what he himselfis doing, to the woman he claims to love. The wake—up call that Scorsese is sending to privileged people, that re— mains relevant to this day, is that it doesn’t take much to cajole ordinary folks into going along with the power— ful preyng upon those who don’t deserve it; A little acquisitiveness, some envious resentment and a repressed insecurity will go a long way, which is why Scorsese opens his film by showing the Osage peo- ple enjoying their sudden good fortune, with white chauffeurs and maids. Portrayals of Native Americans enjoying materi- al success are all too rare in popular culture, and Scors- ese makes his point explicit by also referencing the “Black Wall Street” mas- sacre of Tulsa, Oklahoma, which occurred during this same period of history, to illustrate the backlash that. minority success can incur from jealous whites. For all these harrowing lessons, the three—and-a- half hours of “Killers of the Flower Moon” practically fly by. ‘s/ t s:me Kart/72 Hi/bum [@7671 a. i i/lmm CANCERFUND The Karen Hilburn Cancer Fund is a SOi‘c3 non—profit organization in Mason County established to help the uninsured or underinsured residents of Mason County with medical expenses associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment.
