I’m a big fan of Scoresesse. I love Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, Departed and Wolf of Wall Street. I even like Gangs of New York and Aviator and rewatched them.
But I can’t relate to his newer movies like this and Irishman.
They’re overlong (so was Gangs of NY) and boring af.
There are only like 3 innovative scenes, that surprised me. The prolog when the story of the Osage was told (with oil-picture, which we’ve seen in every trailer). And the epilog with that radio show.
The storytelling wasn’t clever and created tension. You always knew, where the story is heading, because it was was revealed 45min into the movie, that the Hale’s are behind the murderers.
The theme, to show how native Americans were betrayed by the white establishmen, was great and needs to be shown more. But it was as boring as the Irishman.
I can’t remember a scene from the Irishman and I won’t remember a scene of Flower Moon in a few years
