Unlocking the Secrets of 'Killers of the Flower Moon' A Guide to Watching and Understanding the Upcoming Film

Buckle Up for a Film Fiesta!

Well, well, well, looks like I’m back to milking my film minor for all it’s worth! With the slow march into awards season underway, brace yourselves for a lineup of must-see movies that will blow your multimillion-dollar dresses right off. Picture the cinema gods themselves bestowing upon us their magnificent creations.

Among the most anticipated films this season are Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things,” Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest,” Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” and, drumroll, please… Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon”! Now, whether it’s good news, bad news, or news as neutral as your favorite accessory, all these films are exclusively playing in theaters. But fear not, my dear Fashionistas! If you have an Apple TV+ account, you can soon enjoy all the thrills of “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the comfort of your couch, snuggled up in your designer pajamas.

Now, let’s talk about the juicy plot of this captivating flick. “Killers of the Flower Moon” is based on the eponymous 2017 book and takes us on a deep dive into a sordid corner of American history. And let’s be honest, most corners of American history are as sordid as trying to squeeze into sample size jeans after a week of indulging in five-star brunches. The movie delves into the murders that took place among members of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma, following the discovery of valuable oil on their tribal land. These chilling events marked one of the first homicide investigations carried out by the freshly minted FBI. Cue the suspenseful music!

Now, let me introduce you to the cast that will make this film truly shine. We have the suave and talented Leonardo DiCaprio, who critics and early audiences are hailing for his career-best performance. And let’s not forget about the breakout star, Lily Gladstone, who’s blazing a trail for that coveted Best Actress award. As if that weren’t enough, the movie also features the legendary Robert De Niro, the charismatic Jesse Plemons, the formidable Tantoo Cardinal, the incomparable John Lithgow, and the enigmatic Brendan Fraser. Phew! Take a breath, my fashionable friend, because that’s an A-list ensemble if I’ve ever seen one. And here’s a tidbit for you: “Killers of the Flower Moon” marks the tenth collaboration between Scorsese and De Niro, and the sixth between Scorsese and DiCaprio. Talk about a fierce friendship that just keeps on giving!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Where and how can you immerse yourself in the glory that is “Killers of the Flower Moon”? Well, hold on to your Jimmy Choos, because here’s the scoop. While the film is produced and distributed by Apple, it’s not yet available to stream on Apple TV+. However, mark my words, once it does start streaming, it’ll be exclusive to Apple TV+. So, dip into that budget of yours, make some room for that extra $6.99 a month, and get ready for a whole new kind of binge-watching experience.

But wait, there’s more! If you’re itching to witness the cinematic masterpiece that is “Killers of the Flower Moon,” you can catch it in theaters starting on October 20. I can practically hear your audible sigh, my fellow film fanatics. Now, I know I may sound like a pretentious film minor when I say this, but trust me on this one—this movie begs to be seen on the big screen. Beyond the captivating visuals, Apple definitely made the right move by giving “Killers of the Flower Moon” a theatrical release. Let me take you back to 2019, the year that Netflix dropped Scorsese’s gangster epic “The Irishman.” Ah, yes, the memories. Love it or hate it, that movie had its fair share of divided opinions. Part of the reason for that was simple—watching a three-hour movie at home just doesn’t have the same impact. The only suitable way to experience a three-hour marvel like “Killers of the Flower Moon” is the way the Lord of Directors (aka Scorsese) intended: in a dark theater, glued to your seat by sheer force and the hypnotic power of Nicole Kidman’s shimmering pantsuit.

Now, before you run off to secure your tickets, my stylish compadres, I must apologize for the three hours of your life that you’ll never get back after watching “The Irishman.” But fear not! In the case of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” you won’t want to recover those precious hours. Trust me, this movie is bound to be an experience you’ll be raving about for ages. So, step into the intrigue, the drama, and the sheer brilliance that the Flower Moon has in store.

Now, my darlings, it’s your turn! Do you have any thoughts on the upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon”? Are you excited for the remarkable performances and the fashion-worthy cast? Let me know in the comments below, and until next time, keep rocking your killer style.
