"Leonardo DiCaprio's Dim Role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Impresses Indigenous Viewers"
In the upcoming film "Killers of the Flower Moon," Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character named Ernest Burkhart who is unlike any other protagonist in a Martin Scorsese film. Normally, Scorsese's characters are intelligent and street-smart, but Ernest is portrayed as dumb and lacking the qualities typically depicted by Scorsese. This changes the dynamic of the film, highlighting the stupidity of the bigotry and greed that fueled the genocidal campaign against the Osage people in 1920s Oklahoma.
