Hello professor. Thank you for watching the trailer and reading the book. I'm Osage. My late grandpa was born in 1931. I currently live in Illinois. I'm from Wisconsin. I didn't know about this tradedy of my people until I read the book back in 2019. I'm going to multiple channels and thanking everyone. I also thanked David Grann. He is an amazing person. I could only read a chapter a day. It will take me a while before I watch this movie for obvious reasons. My great grandpa was a WW1 veteran. My late grandpa, my aunt, and myself are also veterans. Many Osage have served in the military. Like the Osage I'm tall 6'4". Lastly, I'm sorry for my atrocious grammar.
I think your writing and sentiments are on point and meaningful. You are a wonderful representation of the Beautiful and Fierce Osage. I’m stunned that you, yourself didn’t know the horror brought upon your ancestors. I’m sure you will keep this story alive for time and millennia. I’m ashamed that my Caucasian race has brought such sorrow to so many people. I apologize for the loss and for your pain.
I am your Apache Sister. I am honored that you are here, and will teach future generations of your people's suffering, and warrior spirit resilience. Your people are beautiful, and they are strong. This definitely shows in you.
As an Indigenous person I'm very moved that they're telling this story and putting big investment behind it. I'm confident that they're going to be respectful in the telling
I'm an Osage from Grayhorse and saw the movie in July. You can't imagine the emotions it invokes. Watch the 2nd trailer. This is so hard for osages to watch. Bill Hale was a devil, along with all the rest that took from us.
Scorsese also used another book as his source material, so please read A Pipe for February by the Osage author and historian, the late Charles Red Corn
Y’all should look for the Cannes Film Festival press conference with Chief Standing Bear, Marty Scorsese, Robert DeNiro. Leo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone just fantastic Killers of the Flower Moon press conference
Many of the exterior street scenes were filmed in the town of Pawhuska, OK, which sits on the tribal lands of the Osage Nation. Pawhuska is more recently known for being the home of Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman. The Osage made themselves quite wealthy as a tribe by selling drilling rights for oil on their lands back in the early 20th century.
This is the ONLY informed reaction video I've found. So many of them were clickbait, and then someone just going "woh cool" and making guess work statements afterwards. Thank you!
Oh wow. I didn't know the trailer was out. In my opinion Scorsese is our greatest living filmmaker- I've been waiting for this film since it was announced. ---just opened up another tab and watched it. Looks amazing. Greed, violence, and faith, Scorsese's core themes revisited. I cannot wait to see it.
I haven't kept up with Lily Gladstone's work since seeing her in Kelly Reichardt's "Certain Women" (2016), but how cool for her to be in a Martin Scorsese film. I look forward to your assessment of this film after you watch it. ^J^
While I agree with you that seeing this on the big screen is probably the best way, the last time I went to a "big deal" movie by myself (an AMC chain) it was a $40+ dollar experience. I cannot fathom how studios expect the average person, let alone family, to leave the comforts of their home at these prices. It's why I only saw three movies in theaters last year.
I definitely want to see this film in theaters! It’s the kind of film you know you’re going to appreciate at the cinema! I am new here but I love history and hate when a film hacks it up but love it when the do their best to get it right.
The train cars that were used in the movie came from the railroad I used to work for in north Nevada. Awesome to see them and the Bob grey locomotive #29 in front always loved the V&T railroad!
I just finished reading this book online last evening and it was very well done. It astounded me how so many Osage people could lose their lives in such proportions and yet could not get their dilemma resolved without the intervention of the FBI in its infancy before it was even designated as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The most impressive individual in the entire saga was Tom White the former Texas Ranger who J. Edgar Hoover dispatched to Oklahoma to lead the federal investigation into this homicidal affront to the Osage people by the corrupt guardianship of the "head rights" to the oil beneath the land the tribe was eventually forced to occupy as their reservation. Those guardianships were divided up among numerous corrupt, supposedly admirable white community leaders in the area, many of whom were ruthless greedy individuals who set about eliminating the Osage owners of the allotment of those head rights through marriage and other schemes. The chief villain was businessman and "King of Osage County" William K. Hale who gave the pretense of being the best friend the tribe ever had, but was anything but that. But the murders began at least three years before he set upon his villainy and maybe hundreds of the Osage were murdered in a variety of ways by whites intent to get their hands on the profits that oil under their land produced. Apparently, Scorsese's movie will concentrate on the relationship between Hale's (Robert DeNiro) nephew and co-conspirator Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his wife the Osage woman Mollie Burkhart (Lily Gladstone) whose family they systematically murdered so that she would inherit the head rights intending to at last murder her so that Ernest would eventually receive those head rights via inheritance. Jesse Plemons will portray the FBI man White and I hope the movie does him justice for the way he went about unraveling the machinations of Hale and his numerous accomplices in what the Osage people rightly described as a "Reign of Terror" against them by unscrupulous, venal, greedy white people.
You know I never thought I ever see DiCaprio and De Niro work together again, and alongside Brenden Fraser and John Lithgow?? Oh yeah, I’m definitely see this movie
I happened to be in Pawhuska Oklahoma - visiting the Ben Johnson Cowboy Museum and Johnson’s grave at the local cemetery - when this movie was being filmed in the summer of 2021. I was already aware of the events because they were featured in the 1959 movie “The FBI Story,” starring Jimmy Stewart. I’m looking forward to the movie’s release this fall. Also, De Niro bears an uncanny resemblance to the real William Hale.
I live in Pawhuska and a had a store right on the movie set. I have read "Killers of the Flower Moon" three times and it was no doubt one of the best books I have ever read. It was easier for me to get through when I listened to the audio morning while I was on the treadmill. With the amount of characters and twists and turns there are in the story, I found it to be much more understandable that way. However, as horrific and disgusting the greed was I heard about 20 Osages were killed. I know that there could be many more because the greed was deep and a lot died from mysterious circumstances. No, matter the amount its still reprehensible what happened and I never heard the story until I moved to Pawhuska, where the Osage Nation is. The movie was filmed in Pawhuska and it was amazing how they turned modern Kihekah Avenue into a 1920's street, The work that Scorcese and his team did were amazing and each person that I worked with and met were very kind and tried hard to be unobtrusive to townspeople. At the time, there was no parking and one of the set guards would move out one of the barriers so that I could park my new Porsche and get into my store. I was only the car there. They probably thought it was Leonardo's or something. 🤣
Its just such a shame an indeginous historian didn't right this. It is ironic that if an indeginous authour had wrote the book, then they would have bern acused of been WOKE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. There have been bokk bans in your country on this subject, why is it alright for white authors to right on this subject, but indeginous authors or other non-white authors and scholars who konw ehat they are talking about are WOKE and out to get everyone. Tulsa and Rosewood were attacked for the same reasons, yet we say ssy it abd its political. What happened to the Osagai was an act of evil and brutality, but not surprising, and kudging frpm today those situations should never happen again. You need to ask whay are white Amerikkkan admitting to an atrocity, they hsve cimmitted againstvother non-white people. These atrocities inspired the NAZIs to di thiscto there own jewish population. Do not allow Hollywierd to control the narrative on this history.
Once you showed the book, I realized where I had seen the title. I have not read the book, but I do recall seeing that book somewhere. I will have to check that one out.
I read the book recently. I just picked it out to venture out into different topics of history. I didn't know it was going to be a movie. But it looks great! I wish I could watch these with you. Thanks for doing this informative reacts. 2:47 probably one of the best moments in trailer history.
"Can you find the wolves in this picture?" - had me laughing as well, not because it was beautifully set up earlier in the trailer, but because it reminded me of the medicine woman on the Crow reservation in the Longmire episode The Eagle And The Osprey (2017). She calls Sheriff Walt Longmire and his lifelong Cheyenne friend Henry Standing Bear "the eagle and the osprey", but she couldn't figure out who was which at first. Apparently, the osprey is a hunter that catches his own prey, and the eagle will then steal it from him. Isn't the world so much easier to understand in terms of animal spirits!
I read the book. Facinating. It took the fairly new FBI to break it up. Ironically it was a retired Texas Ranger, like The Bonnie and Clyde case, it was a retired Texas Ranger that broke the case.
You probably didnt know the Streaming Only movies are not eligible for awards like the Oscars and Cannes. The movie award circuit is anti streaming only as all the major directors are against streaming only or streaming in general. Netflix got around this by only releasing some of their movies that they wanted award consideration for in a handful of specialty movie theaters first so they could claim that it wasn't streaming only. Plus, releasing it theaters allows it to recoup some funding and attract investors.
A historical series that would be very interesting to see his reaction is War on Fire, it talks about ww2 from Britain perspectives. Though out the series its mention how people in Britain but also occupied European countries agreeing with Nazi ideology, accentually arguing that it's based on natural selection and science but also believing that Nazi germany was going to win this war early on in 1940, making several people to join and helping the nazi party.
Read the Deaths of Sybil Bolton which discusses how Native Americans found oil on their land on the reservation and some native people were killed for the land. It was released in 1994.
As a national of a country which does not have a great tradition in narrative nonfiction, historical or otherwise, I was intrigued by your note that most historical nonfiction books nowadays are not attractive reads compared with the past. I wonder if you could elaborate further in a future video.
@@HistoryCity1 Portugal, in this case riding the continental wave of analytical history, excessively academic (so to speak) and where, sometimes, an historian can write for the general public (but only sometimes).
I’m listening to the audiobook right now. I’m very curious about this movie. I never heard of this story before. This happened around the time of the Tulsa massacre in Greenwood, OK. A shameful time in American history. Post WWl when the white power structure was started to feel threatened by other groups starting to gain affluence and wealth. I will be very interested to see what Scorcese does with this story. I’m a huge fan of his work. Great video!
I discussed FBI Story briefly in my video...Osage is just barely covered in that one. I just got the book and I will read it first. Your channel, by the way, is excellent.
I really enjoyed the book, and was surprised the "mystery" was solved halfway through. Then I was shocked when I realized what was really going on. The information regarding the early days of the FBI was very interesting as well. My only concern is that they've shifted the focus from the investigation headed by Tom White to Ernest and Mollie Burkhart. That means they've jettisoned the mystery (which you've let much laid bare in the video) and set about painting Ernest with nuanced grays which he may or may not deserve. Apparently the creators wanted to avoid a "white savior" narrative by sidelining White, but he WAS the one driving the investigation and without him it likely wouldn't have been solved. I hope making other characters the center doesn't lead to a lot of inaccurate dramatization in order to make a point. As for " Lost City of Z", they really misrepresented Percy Fawcett and what he was looking for. The film's assertion that the discovery of modest, interconnected villages vindicated Fawcett's belief in an ancient Native American city is just wrong. Fawcett, largely thanks to charlatan Madame Blavotsky (sp?), believed in an advanced race of "white Indians" who lived hidden in the jungle. They supposedly looked like Europeans and built an classical Greek-style city (the city of Z). That is all glossed over to make Fawcett seem enlightened and ahead of his time.
Reactions to a trailer. If I was Scorsese I would be salivating. I can’t wait to see this movie in the meantime I am immersing myself in the history. I don’t think you could expect more from a movie.
DiCaprio has a following. Maybe he is too pretty for the role but he did an excellent job in The Revenant. This does deserve the Big Screen. Now I'm looking forward to going back to the theaters.
Please folks don't get caught up in the resources used or the acting. This movie is to show more than that. This could tie-in to the Greenwood massacre and open up a monumental lawsuit depriving several companies of 100 years of revenue. The Greenwood massacre is tied in because the ones killed in 1921 were Creek freedmen. Tribal members of the Creek tribe. They were killed when they tried to get in the petroleum game. The white citizens of tulsa killed them and the Tulsa Tribune lied about it and called it the 1921 race riot. The Tribune was owned by an oil company owner. White American history is worse than possibly imagined. No wonder the GOP want it gone from history altogether. It's how they cover their mistakes....🤔
This review just made me look up who the Big Oil Players down there in Osage Tribal Nation oil. There was, Phillips Oil, Conoco Oil, Standard Oil and Gulf Oil and more. Whenever there is oil in the ground, the truthful history is always full of darkness. Whether it is here in the US, or Russia or Africa or the Middle East. Oil appears to be a Cancer upon Mankind. It's a shame we all like to drive.
Jared, I had trailers and how "the young" show up in cinemas to watch a trailer and leave... Silly.. My family are Okies... My grandfather who single-handedly won WW II enlisted in the 1930s to put his siblings through college. I already mentioned he was on the U.S.S. Uruguay where Bear Bryant was an officer and met my grandmother on the trip. So watching a reaction to a trailer is a rare honor to place on you.
The same thing is happening in Pakistan's province Baluchistan on a very large scale but here the Pakistan army is killing Baluchi people with the help of China and Americans because Baluchistan is full of Gold Oil and Gas and many other precious minerals underneath the land Gen.Parvaiz Musharraf the dictator killed their biggest chief Akbar Bugti the head of the Bugti tribe.
I'm sorry to hear that. Isn't Russia the same way?? When there is Billions and Billions of dollars of resources in the ground, everyone wants to build their house upon that land with no consideration to the people who are rightful owners of the land. That is Greed. It crosses all borders and races. It's Evil.
Oh, the farmers and the cowboys should be friends. This new film is a piece of Oklahoma history that we were never taught . As usual, Hollywood prettifies everything and everyone. LA, too, is about power and money. Whiten your world.
I undertand the intent was to tell the events more from the perspective of the Osage, unline many other books and movies that tell events more from an outsider's perspective. The Osage hould be the focus, not the FBI. There are already bookss & movies about them. Yes, they played an important role--absolultely. But they weren't the main focus.
@@ItzMzJulez2U What has that got to do with the box office?? Or do you think this movie will make over 500 million?? Because that's what it would need to break even. It has nothing to do with the quality of the movie
The reception out of Cannes for this has been positive, but I have also heard some criticism that this was a story adapted to the screen by a white director when it shouldn't have been. But I guess the rest of us will have to wait until October to draw our own first conclusions on the finished work.
@@tigqc no I'm implying that it's ridiculous that only native Americans can make films about native American stories, would you rather Scorcese just made Italian American stories for the rest of his life ?
@@tigqc Lee is pointing out the absurdity in the PC position that says only members of the race/religion/nationality should be allowed to write about members of that particular group. Men can't write about women. Women can't write about men. Whites can't write about Blacks. The stupidity never ends.
Untrue. Racist Director John Ford called out Stewart for saying that's the black actor' costume looked like Uncle Remus. Ford asked Stewart about the costume. Then got the whole company together to call him racist. Ford had a habit of calling out an actor from each of his movies out for something or another. Dressing someone in a stereotypical slave way and calling that out isn't racist. It's racist that the Director thought that it was a perfectly fine costume for a black man to wear in 1962. Jimmy Stewart talked about the incident in an interview.

Whenever there is oil in the ground, the truthful history is always full of darkness. Whether it is here in the US, or Russia or Africa or the Middle East. Oil appears to be a Cancer upon Mankind. It's a shame we all like to drive.
Prof, r u from philly area? You pronounce o like in philly.
if u want a real loong depressing film, this is the one fer ya....
Didn't the movie the FBI Story do something like this also?
We can always tell when someone doesn't watch the whole video lol
@@ReelHistory true, right after I posted it then you talked about it, lol
Your enthusiasm is much appreciated
Jared, I had trailers and how "the young" show up in cinemas to watch a trailer and leave... Silly.. My family are Okies... My grandfather who single-handedly won WW II enlisted in the 1930s to put his siblings through college. I already mentioned he was on the U.S.S. Uruguay where Bear Bryant was an officer and met my grandmother on the trip. So watching a reaction to a trailer is a rare honor to place on you.
Can you find the wolves in this picture?
I have read the book, so I will put the truth to the test.
Sorry professor but a 36 inch screen is gone with the flood try 50 inch.
The same thing is happening in Pakistan's province Baluchistan on a very large scale but here the Pakistan army is killing Baluchi people with the help of China and Americans because Baluchistan is full of Gold Oil and Gas and many other precious minerals underneath the land Gen.Parvaiz Musharraf the dictator killed their biggest chief Akbar Bugti the head of the Bugti tribe.
I'm sorry to hear that. Isn't Russia the same way?? When there is Billions and Billions of dollars of resources in the ground, everyone wants to build their house upon that land with no consideration to the people who are rightful owners of the land. That is Greed. It crosses all borders and races. It's Evil.
Oh, the farmers and the cowboys should be friends. This new film is a piece of Oklahoma history that we were never taught . As usual, Hollywood prettifies everything and everyone. LA, too, is about power and money. Whiten your world.
Maybe see it first, and then see if it seems prettified. It's said to have covered the story fairly well.
Scorsese finally realized Italian Mob movies have run their course. Leo the Goat.
Scorsese has a far more diverse filmography than people give him credit for.
@@system0fadowner251 Fair. But you can tell that's where his heart is.
@@Likwidfoxa lot of filmakers heart is in a very specific sub-genre of film but that doesnt mean they can do other stuff that also interests them.
If I had a Nickle for every channel I subscribed to because J.D. said to... I would have at least enough to make a roll of nickels. Cool channel.
Looks like he's going for the Terrance Malick angle
I bet more copies of the book have been sold since this trailer came out.
hopefully bought from an Osage-owned business.
I understand they flipped the story around. Wrapping up the FBI story quickly.
I undertand the intent was to tell the events more from the perspective of the Osage, unline many other books and movies that tell events more from an outsider's perspective. The Osage hould be the focus, not the FBI. There are already bookss & movies about them. Yes, they played an important role--absolultely. But they weren't the main focus.
Horrible time to make this movie. It will not be received well and could get Martin and Leo cancelled.
RACISM...Systematic U.S. History.
Surprised they haven't banned the book.
200 million budget?? They're crazy... small chances it makes its money back. Maybe they just want the Oscars.
Stop being a hater and possibly a racist!
Maybe try this again after you’ve actually seen the film.
@@ItzMzJulez2U What has that got to do with the box office?? Or do you think this movie will make over 500 million?? Because that's what it would need to break even. It has nothing to do with the quality of the movie
@@Bayard1503 Bet on it, this film will surpass the $500M mark easily.
And there will be Oscars.
@@ItzMzJulez2U The box office for There Will be Blood was just 76 million. But I guess it could go the Revenant route.
The reception out of Cannes for this has been positive, but I have also heard some criticism that this was a story adapted to the screen by a white director when it shouldn't have been. But I guess the rest of us will have to wait until October to draw our own first conclusions on the finished work.
My first conclusion is that skin color take is as moronic as ever.
By that logic the film Alien should have been made by a 7 foot xenomorph with acid blood
@@leedobson Are you implying then that the Osage people are fictional?
@@tigqc no I'm implying that it's ridiculous that only native Americans can make films about native American stories, would you rather Scorcese just made Italian American stories for the rest of his life ?
@@tigqc Lee is pointing out the absurdity in the PC position that says only members of the race/religion/nationality should be allowed to write about members of that particular group. Men can't write about women. Women can't write about men. Whites can't write about Blacks. The stupidity never ends.
Right wing politicians are going to hate this film, and accuse it of being 'revisionist' history, just you watch...

I just found out recently just how racist Jimmy Stewart was.
I found out recently what a clout chasing idiot says on the internet.
Oh really! The majority of white Americans who lived in the past till about 1970’s were racist.
Never heard that. Care to elaborate?
@@gettysburgguy yeah go do some research yourself. I'm sure you have access to internet.
Untrue. Racist Director John Ford called out Stewart for saying that's the black actor' costume looked like Uncle Remus. Ford asked Stewart about the costume. Then got the whole company together to call him racist. Ford had a habit of calling out an actor from each of his movies out for something or another. Dressing someone in a stereotypical slave way and calling that out isn't racist. It's racist that the Director thought that it was a perfectly fine costume for a black man to wear in 1962. Jimmy Stewart talked about the incident in an interview.
