Podcast cover

The Book Review

In this episode of the Book Review podcast, the hosts delve into David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon" and its film adaptation by Martin Scorsese. They explore the book's three-part structure, which covers the Osage murders, the FBI's investigation, and Grann's research, and compare it to the film's more focused portrayal of the murders and the guilt of those involved. The discussion highlights how the film shifts away from a typical "white savior" narrative, offering a deeper look at systemic greed and racism, while also examining Scorsese's portrayal of guilt and its connection to the Western genre. The episode wraps up with thoughts on the film's ending and encourages listeners to engage with both the book and the movie.
