Killers of the Flower Moon: Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio Reunited…for Eternity

Image
     I n "Killers of the Flower Moon," Martin Scorsese returns to his epic storytelling ways. And by epic, I mean "Let's make a movie so long that even Methuselah would ask for an intermission." That's right, folks, the only thing longer than the film's runtime is the anticipation to see the holy trinity of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio reuniting again. The film opens with a reminder that Scorsese is not just a director; he's a time lord who effortlessly bends minutes and hours to his will. At a whopping three and a half hours, you better pack a snack, a catheter, and possibly a change of clothes. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is so long that by the time the end credits roll, you'll be able to boast that you've aged faster than the cast of "The Irishman" under those de-aging CGI effects.

This film is like that one guy who decides to run through a lightning storm with his pants down – utterly ridiculous, oddly exhilarating, and you can't help but watch in awe. "Dumb Money" is the kind of movie that reminds us why cinema exists in the first place: to tell crazy, unpredictable, and outrageously true stories. Director Craig Gillespie and the brilliant writing duo, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, take the audience on a rollercoaster ride through the wild world of Wall Street's underbelly, with their pants on their heads (figuratively speaking, of course). At its core, "Dumb Money" is a modern David vs. Goliath tale for the meme generation. It's a story that unfolds when a bunch of ordinary folks decides to flip off the Wall Street elite and their big-time hedge fund...
