Not sure about DiCaprio's accent but it looks intriguing with bursts of trademark Scorcese visual flair and a dark and disturbing story, I'll be checking it out.
Yep, the same can be said about other important social issues in film. The voices least involved in a matter are the loudest — a vocal minority in important conversations. Based on that Osage leader’s twitter, I really don’t know what more the production could have done to shape the project around the indigenous community. Also, they’ve actually seen the film to pass final judgment vs. most of the virtue signalling, vocal minority probably just making judgments off of their own bias-based assumptions.The fact that the actual current Osage Tribe was intimately involved in this production and are extensively applauding it and imploring people to support it yet there are still multiple high-profile NON-INDIGENOUS pundits on Film Twitter trying to spin a "problematic" narrative about the film says so much about the sad state of social media "advocacy."![]()

Oh, I totally get that. But Marty is easily the one "old white guy" whose more than earned that trust, IMO. And given that the people who should be most-concerned about the treatment - the people actually represented in the story - have been in-depth in their support and endorsement, it feels incredibly patronizing for posters to still be trying to farm moral clout off of continued "skepticism."I understand the hesitancy, it’s not like Hollywood has an amazing track record of being sensitive to the Native American community.
I'm confused. Wasn't always the plan for this and Napoleon to have a wide release? Or does it mean that it was going to have a limited release as well before that, which is now not happening?
Ok I just went back a bit in this thread and apparently it was the latter. They just ditched an unnecessary limited release that it had additionally for some reason.I think it was going to have a limited release so it could qualify for the awards race and then have it stream a month or two afterwards.
