Starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role alongside Robert De Niro, the 2023 film narrated the story of the Osage County murders and the greed for oil. Being an iconic masterpiece, several people alleged that Scorsese shouldn’t have directed this movie since he was not of the ethnicity of the Native American tribe. In her interview with Variety, Lily Gladstone, who portrays the role of DiCaprio’s on-screen partner defended the director.
“Marty is a titan, but he’s not bigger than history. He’s a major shaper of it though. It’s the tricky nature of a story like this. You have more representation, but coming from somebody who’s not from the community”
She further continued,

“So you always have to look at it with a different angle. And there’s nothing wrong with that; you just have to be very aware of the film that you’re watching and what lens it was made through.”

Despite defending Martin Scorsese against the allegations, Lily Gladstone revealed that she does know what it feels like to be filmed by an outsider.

Hailing from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northern Montana, Lily Gladstone knows all too well what the native people are trying to say against Scorsese. In her interview with Variety, the actress further continued that she knew what it felt like to be filmed by an outsider.
“I was very familiar with what it felt like to have people coming in from the outside wanting to tell a story with your community. And they’re not always there in the best interests.”
Although no one is right or wrong in the matter, Killers of the Flower Moon managed to earn great reviews with its release. The 2023 film currently stands at a rating of 8/10 on IMDB and a whopping 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Killers of the Flower Moon is currently screening in select theaters across the world.
