Martin Scorsese had to rein in his frequent star Robert De Niro while working on Killers of the Flower Moon.<\/p>\n
The filmmaker\u2019s latest epic explores the slaughter of a wealthy Native American tribe in Oklahoma known as the Osage and the subsequent investigation by the FBI.<\/p>\n
De Niro portrays William ‘King’ Hale, the mastermind behind the scheme to systematically murder and defraud the Osage people to take control of their wealth.<\/p>\n
Although Scorsese\u2019s most enduring star has the most antagonistic relationship with the Osage in the film, De Niro himself actually fell in love with the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s [been] a new resurgence of the learning of the language,\u201d Scorsese said at the virtual press conference ahead of the film\u2019s wide release this week.<\/p>\n

He just liked the sound of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Killers of the Flower Moon has already garnered stellar reviews from critics, in particular for its representation of the Osage perspective both on-camera and behind the scenes.<\/p>\n The inclusion of the tribe\u2019s language in several scenes is just one of the ways it brings the Osage Nation\u2019s history to life, in addition to incorporating their culture, rituals and religion throughout the narrative.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were all learning again to put their culture back together through this movie,\u201d Scorsese said.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
