History is a merciless judge. It lays bare our tragic blunders and foolish missteps and exposes our deepest secrets, wielding the power of hindsight like a detective who seems to know the answer to the mystery from the beginning.

Okay, you know what? Bill Smith appreciation post!

This guy was the coolest fucking dude! We don't know much about him (no date of birth, no obituary, nothing written by him) but we DO know his role in the Osage murders of the 1920's.

For those who don't know, in the 1920's, a guy named William Hale orchestrated a series of murders to kill anywhere from 20 to 60 Osage tribe members and steal their oil headrights. At that time, the Osage were the richest people per capita IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! So we're talking A LOT of money.

Anyway, Bill Smith went before the Osage tribal council after the first few murders to call for justice. Everyone was terrified and paranoid, of course, and many people blamed an evil spirit. Smith protested vehemently, famously saying "No! There is no evil spirit except one in human form." Unfortunately, not even he was brave enough to name the people he (correctly) suspected: William Hale and Ernest Burkhart.

Now here's where things get REALLY interesting. Hale, the mastermind, was SO THREATENED by this guy that he became absolutely DESPERATE to kill him. He approached several different men, some multiple times, asking them to carry out the hit. And then, he did it in the most public way possible by blowing up Smith's house!

Smith didn't even die instantly like his wife and their servant. He survived another two days in the hospital. Those two days were long enough for him to say that his only enemies in the world were Ernest Burkhart and William Hale, instantly throwing suspicion on them.

Not only was his death the final straw for the Osage tribal council before asking the feds for help, several of the guys Hale approached to kill him came forward during the investigation! I genuinely believe that, without Bill Smith, the Osage murder case would NEVER have been solved!

Osage Murders: Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Captures the Gripping True Story

A lot of people will sit here and debate whether the length of a movie is something worth critiquing. It truly all depends on what kind of story you like. The story we see in Killers of the Flower Moon is a historical story worthy of the massive 3.5 hour runtime it has.

The film takes place in the 1920s and sees Ernest Burkhart return from the war. He returns to the heart of the Osage where his Uncle William Hale resides. Ernest and his uncle, known as King Hale, begin a series of deadly murders in order to attain the headrights to Osage Oil money from Ernest's wife Mollie.

Why the 3.5 hour runtime is justified is the amount of moving parts and story this film has to cover. Nothing feels out of place, and the pace of the movie is deliberately set, so the looming tension is always there. It feels like any given time, the burdens of their actions will come crashing down upon them. DiCaprio and DeNiro compliment each other very well in this film. They both bring their A-Game in what are very important roles for portraying the history that surrounds this event. Lily Gladstone is the scene stealer in this film as Mollie Burkhart. She goes toe to toe with two heavy weight actors who could easily be described as the best actors of their respective generations. She shines brilliantly among these stars and likely will be rewarded come award season.

Scorsese is one of the best directors of all time. This movie only adds to his legacy of someone who wants to use his art form for education as much as he can. That seems even more evident in the last decade. Silence, The Irishman, and now Killers of the Flower Moon are all based on novels that explore true stories. They are stories that will one day help educate people through art. You can bicker about the length if that is the one gripe you want to find. Sure, speak on it. This movie is deliberately that long to ensure that each necessary focal point of the story is not glossed over. Only a filmmaker with a delicate eye could keep you engaged in a film of this nature. It takes a lot of precision to recreate from history and do the era and the actual story justice.

Killers of the Flower Moon is exactly the movie you expect. It's not one of those movies relying on a grandiose Hollywood ending of magical CGIed moments. It tells a story that is filled with murder, violence, deceit, and racism towards the Osage people. It should leave you uncomfortable. This stuff happened. Whether people want to complain about the length or not. These events were real and deserved to be told with the care Scorsese took to make sure no details were left out. These are the kinds of stories we need to see more of. It will only help educate the next generation on how to avoid the mistakes of the past.

A nice write up here about Bobby D’s portrayal of William Hale in Killers of The Flower Moon which hits the nail on the head regarding how Bobby De played the role in comparison to other roles he played including the role of Jake Lamotta in Raging Bull.

For anyone who hasn’t seen Killers of The Flower Moon I highly recommend it. Yes it’s a long film but it’s totally worth it especially to see the amazing Lily Gladstone as Molly and also Bob for his best character portrayal in years.

The SAG Awards take place tonight and the Oscar’s on March 10th and while this awards season the best actor category seems to be playing favourites with Robert Downey Jr (I haven’t seen Oppenheimer so I can’t comment one way or the other on his performance) I am hoping for a shock twist either at the SAG Awards or the Oscar’s, while I’m not getting my hopes up too high I remind myself often that there have been shock wins in the past (Anthony Hopkins won Best Actor just a couple of years ago for his performance in The Father when everyone expected Chadwick Bozeman to win) so maybe Bobby D will win something this year.
