The body of an Indian woman was dissected in the open air.
just to find the bullet that killed her.
The doctor sawed the skull, picked up a branch and reached in to tinker with it.
Too bloody and cruel?
Sorry!
This is just part of the North American pig-killing plate play.
It started with love, passion for investment, and finally murder...
The only blame is that 1920 was no longer an era when white people could scalp Indians unscrupulously.
Even if you are as beautiful as Little Plum, you have to cut the door upside down before killing someone.
This is a creepy horror love story.
is also a true story about the "Osage Murders".
The Osages, the richest people per capita in the world, are also the luckiest Indians.
They were forcibly expelled by white people from their tribal homeland decades ago.
After moving around many times, I finally bought a piece of land and settled in Oklahoma.
Who would have thought that this reservation, which is so barren that white people look down upon it, is rich in oil.
As the saying goes, "It's easy to have money, but it's hard to keep it."
The Osage people who became rich overnight seemed to have suffered some kind of curse.
died mysteriously one after another.
It seems that the authorities have no intention of delving into the cause of death.
The white man Ernest (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) is a cook who just returned from World War I.
Although he was a cook, his intestines were broken on the battlefield and he was unable to do heavy work.
He comes here to join his uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro).
My uncle is a well-known local rancher and is expected to take over as deputy sheriff.
Even though he is white, he speaks fluent Aboriginal language.
also engages in local charity to support regional development.
Anyway, he was a good brother to the Osage people.
However, the first thing his uncle told Ernest was to be careful with what he said. The Osages were all shrewd.
All that's left is to take care of his health and hygiene.
And what skin color do you like in women?
Uncle is not just asking around.
He found Ernest the most ordinary job with considerable room for advancement - driver.
drove a variety of Osages.
Soon, Ernest had an unusual regular visitor - Molly.
is unusual in that she has pure blood.
This also means that her marriage is extremely valuable. .
So Ernest used all his strength to pursue.
Molly was very dismissive at first, even calling him a "coyote" in Osage.
Unexpectedly, Ernest behaved very calmly.
dispelled Molly's wariness with the sincerity of "fools don't love money".
The most important thing is that my uncle is rich.
So Ernest doesn't need money that much.
Mixed with deception and romance, the two entered the palace of marriage.
at a cheerful wedding.
Only Minnie, Molly's little sister, was in a daze and was not in a good state of mind.
Minnie soon died of chronic illness.
Minnie's husband can inherit the deceased's head rights just like her parents and sisters.
Capitation was how the Osages distributed their oil wealth.
Whoever holds the capitation rights will receive money quarterly from the revenue from the Osage Mine.
Uncle used this living example to brainwash Ernest.
made him think that all the wealth of his wife's natal family should belong to him.
The plan to exterminate the family has officially begun.
The mother-in-law was seriously ill and one of her four daughters died of the illness.
Now is a good time to start.
And if Ernest wants to get the head rights of everyone in the family, there is only one rule - Molly must die last.
The first target they targeted was Anna, the most ill-tempered.
People who are not easy to mess with tend to offend others easily.
and died as a result.
On a dark and stormy night, drunk Anna was dragged to the wilderness by two men.
One shot to the head.
At the same time, another Osage was murdered.
The whole tribe was scared and angry.
They called a meeting and sent a representative to Washington to ask for help.
Molly spent a lot of money to hire a private detective to investigate Anna's case.
But in the blink of an eye, the representative sent was stabbed to death in the street.
The detective was knocked down by several hammers.
What a coincidence, the mother-in-law became seriously ill and died of natural causes.
Things were looking great for Ernest.
Sister-in-law Rita and Minnie's widower are a bit tricky, though.
After all, no one thought that the two of them would get together.
I can only say that this is a "lonely" problem.
Anyway, Ernest was dumbfounded when he looked at his brother-in-law.
I didn’t expect that there is a pretty boy who is better at eating soft food than him.
Since these two are bound, if you want to kill them, you have to do them together.
Through his uncle's help, he found a man who could make explosives.
A huge explosion sounded!
My sister and brother-in-law were fucked together.
Now it’s my wife Molly’s turn.
Don't worry!
In fact, they have already started.
Because Molly had diabetes, her uncle got insulin.
Insulin was still a scarce drug at that time.
But there must be something else mixed into the medicine.
The more Molly uses her body, the weaker she becomes.
But no sooner had doubts set in than Ernest came to PUA.
Anyway, just wait!
Molly will die of illness sooner or later.
Moreover, we can’t die too soon.
It turns out that Molly also has an Aboriginal ex-husband.
This marriage was arranged by the family.
Although the two are not together, the Osage tribe does not have the concept of divorce.
And this ex-husband happens to be a good friend and neighbor of my uncle.
My uncle’s land is full of cattle and sheep, and his neighbor’s land is full of oil wells.
How can you not covet it?
So my uncle had already made plans for him.
And before he died, he bought insurance for his neighbors and earned a lot of insurance premiums.
When the time comes, the hired killer shoots the neighbor in the head.
Because my uncle said that my neighbor suffered from depression and had suicidal tendencies.
This is so convenient that it can lead to suicide.
However, the killer didn't know whether he drank too much or was simply stupid.
asked him to hit his head, and he hit it from the back of his head.
It was over and the gun was taken away from the scene.
What kind of suicide is this? ? ?
Once word spread about this murder, everyone was in danger.
In the increasingly tense atmosphere, Molly felt more and more that she would not live long.
So I dragged my sick body and said I wanted to travel to Washington.
also said that this may be the last thing she does in her life.
However, she actually went to complain to the president in person.
cried to death ~
finally got smart.
But when she comes home, she will be damned clean.
Uncle instigated Ernest to take strong medicine.
The pig-killing plate is about to reach the preset ending...
Suddenly!
FBI agents knocked on the door.
You won’t know if you don’t check it, but you will be shocked if you check it.
Doctors who abuse corpses, sheriffs who lose inquest records, undertakers who ignore evidence of gunshot wounds, lawyers and prosecutors who take bribes.
The white people in power reached a tacit agreement.
has a habit of playing tricks on the rich and powerless Osages.
So who gave them the confidence?
Let’s put it this way!
1921, when Congress passed a law.
All Osages are required to pass a "competency" test to see if they can manage their own finances.
The results can be imagined.
Almost all full-blooded Osages were automatically deemed "impotent" and assigned a "guardian" (a white man) to handle their money.
So there is this absurd scene in the movie where the rich do not have the freedom to eat meat.
Return to the main story line.
Federal agents (white men) solved the cases one by one with overwhelming force.
After all, they have nothing to do with local forces, and the perpetrators are not very smart.
Ernest suddenly became the prime suspect.
His uncle immediately ran over to reassure him, but there was a hint of cutting in his words.
In fact, my uncle has already found an executioner to kill his nephew.
In this way, you can monopolize huge wealth.
But Ernest is so stupid!
He actually signed the head rights transfer document.
even retracted his confession on the spot in court to help his uncle get away with the crime.
Until the death of my biological daughter.
He finally smashed it and got something out of it.
played with him to play the ultimate family, and his uncle played for him to play the ultimate queen.
Ernest finally woke up and identified his uncle as the mastermind.
The camera turned and time and space shifted to the present.
The audience burst into warm applause.
On the stage, accompanied by elegant music.
The narrator puts a "shroud" over everyone in the story.
This is a wonderful and terrifying story.
But it didn’t get along well with Martin Scorsese, who loves gangster movies.
The storyline is about the murder of two evil money-loving uncles and nephews! kill! kill!
's usual narrative is lengthy and uneventful.
However, it's not hard for even a casual viewer to see.
The best narrative perspective is that of Aboriginal victims, such as Molly, who are shrouded in the shadow of murder from beginning to end.
Or it would be good to follow the perspective of the federal agent investigating the case in the original work.
As a result, the director chose to use the perspective of a scumbag.
unfolds and tells a story that is originally suspenseful and terrifying.
looks unsurprisingly boring.
Leonardo is like a puppet on strings throughout the film, frowning and confused by his uncle's instructions, but he still carries them out one by one.
's portrayal of Molly is confusingly flat.
A film that is obviously aiming for some kind of humanistic spirit award.
actually wrote the lament of the aborigines with the old white man as the main body.
The victim's position in history is as passive as it is in this film.
In the second half of the film, federal agents punish evil and promote good.
It is white people who create chaos, and it is white people who restore order.
what?
Do you want the audience to sigh with emotion, "The United States will provide justice to the Indians"?
uses the logic of "paying for guilt and meriting merit" to lightly overturn the national crimes against the indigenous people and the collective sins of white people. How come
is not an American theme?
At the end, director Martin Scorsese read Molly's message with tears in his eyes.
This scene is extremely contrived and hypocritical.
Because the movies told me.
You don't really see her.
