Jim Gray, a direct descendent of one of the murder victims that Killers of the Flower Moon portrays, addresses the film’s respect for real history.
Jim Gray, a direct descendant of a murder victim who features in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, addresses the film's historical accuracy and sensitivity to real-world Indigenous cultures. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon chronicles the true story of the FBI investigation into a series of murders of members of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma after oil is discovered on their land.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ahead of Killers of the Flower Moon's release date later this fall, Gray, a direct descendant of murder victim Henry Roan, takes to Twitter to share his thoughts on Scorsese's upcoming crime epic after his own private screening.
Killers Of The Flower Moon True Story Explained Ironically, the reservation in Oklahoma that members of the Osage Nation had been relegated to years earlier ended up sitting atop a massive oil deposit. The discovery of the oil made many Osage Native Americans some of the richest people per capita in the entire world.
These murders were eventually found to be largely orchestrated by a man named William Hale, played in Killers of the Flower Moon by De Niro. DiCaprio plays Ernest, one of Hale's duplicitous nephews, who marries an Osage woman named Mollie in an effort to get his hands on some of this oil money. The murders of members of the Osage Nation lead to the involvement of the FBI, then known as the Bureau of Investigation , in what was one of the organization's first major murder investigations.
The film was previously said to be a more thorough exploration of the early days of the FBI and its involvement in the Osage murders, but, as Gray explains, the script was rewritten to focus more on the Native American side of the story and the impact that these horrible murders had on their community.
