Before I get into the review itself, I want to do what I can to make sure you’re prepared for this movie. I’ve been excited for Killers of the Flower Moon for a long time now. Scorsese is a true master of the medium and has been for fifty (yes that is FIVE-ZERO) years now….
The discussion around Martin Scorsese’s comments on comic book movies often misunderstands the director’s intent. He advocates for more inclusion of non-comic book movies in theaters, not for the cessation of superhero films. His perspective differentiates between “cinema”, which he describes as a revelation-filled art form, and franchise pictures, which he sees as remakes catering to specific demands. Scorsese’s concern lies in franchises taking over film exhibition, reducing opportunities for diverse movie-making on the big screen.
