Literally not what Scorsese said but also idk it's hard not to be cynical about Disney's motivation when it is literally a multi billion dollar corporation that's involved in the exploitation of its workers, creatives, writers, actors etc. It's funding genocide in Palestine. I am not really sure if Disney really cares about people of colour like that.

i'm so tired of Martin Scorsese complaining about the marvel movies. Regardless of the quality of the films, it's very telling how he and other filmmakers (Tarantino, Cameron etc), have openly expressed their criticisms of the mcu the moment they started becoming more diverse

So I've kinda broached this topic in one of my videos before

https://youtu.be/DjY0la3Rh8k?si=8gGxTze6IBkgcDdb

I tackled it as "what is the M She U" but I think I should make a follow-up talking about the white actors ( ex: Jennifer Aniston) and white directors (martin scorsese especially but lbr his new killers of the flower moon is a MAJOR departure from his previous all white films) that decry the mcu even though Black panther and shang chi really elevated the super hero genre.

#in case the tone is not clear #it's sarcastic #you need to understand that scorsese is literally on the same side as you ideologically #in fact it's disney that is not what with its empty corporate activism and performativity #scorsese in so many words calls marvel movies vapid and that's fair #but it hurts the stans #but that does not mean you go on and make claims that are not true #i beg you all to go read what he actually said and try to understand how disney monopoly is really harmful for the industry

Christopher Cote, an Osage language consultant on the project and one of many Osage members who attended its Los Angeles premiere Monday, told THR he was “nervous about the release of the film; now that I’ve seen it, I have some strong opinions.

“As an Osage, I really wanted this to be from the perspective of Mollie and what her family experienced, but I think it would take an Osage to do that,” Cote said, referencing Lily Gladstone’s character in the movie. (Historical spoilers from the film ahead.) “Martin Scorsese, not being Osage, I think he did a great job representing our people, but this history is being told almost from the perspective of Ernest Burkhart [played by Leonardo DiCaprio] and they kind of give him this conscience and kind of depict that there’s love. But when somebody conspires to murder your entire family, that’s not love. That’s not love, that’s just beyond abuse.”

He continued, “I think in the end, the question that you can be left with is: How long will you be complacent with racism? How long will you go along with something and not say something, not speak up, how long will you be complacent? I think that’s because this film isn’t made for an Osage audience, it was made for everybody, not Osage. For those that have been disenfranchised, they can relate, but for other countries that have their acts and their history of repression, this is an opportunity for them to ask themselves this question of morality, and that’s how I feel about this film.”

Just a heads up about Killers of the Flower Moon

Here Osage language consultant Christopher Cote speaking about this:

#The conversation once again comes to the fact that we NEED more minority voices making films about their stories #We need more indigenous writers #We need more indigenous actors #and we need more indigenous directors

Never been more excited for a film than I am for Scorsese's Killer of the Flower Moon. Someone on Letterboxd said it's his coldest film to date and I just can't wait.
