Osage Nation language consultant Christopher Cote on Killers of the Flower Moon: “This story is almost being told from the perspective of [Leonardo DiCaprio‘s] Ernest Burkhart, and they kinda give him this conscience and it kind of depicts that there’s love [between Ernest and Lily Gladstone‘s Mollie]. But when somebody conspires to murder your entire family, that’s not love….that’s not love. That’s just beyond abuse.”
Obviously with Christopher taking issue with a key dramatic choice made by DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Eric Roth and with Jeff Sneider also balking, Killers of the Flower Moon is clearly in trouble. (And so is Gladstone although she may not know it yet.) For those who think Oppenheimer is the cat’s meow, Cote and Sneider have given them reason to feel comfort.
