After nearly three and a half hours of bloodshed, betrayal, and thorny interpersonal relationships, Killers of the Flower Moonended with a bang, but not in the traditional sense one would typically expect from a crime epic. Martin Scorsese's historical saga about a coordinated genocide of members of the Osage nation in Oklahoma is a complex, dense, and aggressively challenging film that forces the viewer to reckon with the director's beloved filmography. Everyone who adores Taxi Driver and Goodfellas may find themselves the subject of criticism in Killers of the Flower Moon's ending, which features a stunning cameo by none other than Scorsese himself, who plays a presenter in a radio play years after the events of the movie. In a film ripe with stellar performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and breakout star Lily Gladstone, Scorsese's final line, in which he reveals that "there was no mention of the murders," is its most powerful line delivery and a damning indictment of the glorification of crime on the big screen, especially by Scorsese himself.
