Killers of the Flower Moon: The True Story Behind Martin Scorsese’s Latest Epic
Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese has been no stranger to exploring the depths of human nature and its darkest corners throughout his long and illustrious career. His latest endeavor, Killers of the Flower Moon, based on David Grann’s non-fiction book of the same name, promises to be yet another gripping and unsettling depiction of the most heinous of crimes. But before delving into the intrigue surrounding this anticipated film, it’s essential to look back at the true events that inspired Scorsese’s latest masterpiece.
set in the early 1920s in Oklahoma Territory, the true story upon which _Killers of the Flower Moon _is based tells the horrifying tale of a series of gruesome murders of Osage Indians, specifically those Osage people who had chosen to assimilate into White society and acquired wealth after discovering oil-rich lands on their Reservation. The crimes, marked by brutal mutilations, disappearances, and staged accidents, remained unsolved for decades, with fingers pointed at multiple suspects yet ultimately resulting in a sweeping federal investigation, known as "The Bureau of Investigations".
The book, co-written by The Lost City of Z (2016) author and investigative journalist David Grann, chronicles the harrowing journey of a pioneering American journalist named Mandy Stravitzky Smoker, an Osage tribal member and activist herself. Smoker, convinced of a deliberate conspiracy amidst her people, became devoted to uncovering the horrific truths behind these unspeakable acts, eventually colliding with Scorsese himself.
