Wow, Martin Scorsese’s first western! I didn’t realize that he hadn’t made a western before and what a great choice for his first western! I took Oklahoma history in junior high and there was no mention of mineral rights of Native Americans. Nor any mention of the black wall street murders in Tulsa Oklahoma. Both events happened in the 1920’s. Dang, the 1920’s were just as volatile as the 1960’s. Scorsese has framed this movie as a whodunnit set in 1920s Oklahoma, where the Osage Nation became extraordinarily wealthy after abundant oil deposits were discovered on its land. It’s a 3+ hour movie and sometimes you can tell the tale in just 2 hours.
