How did Lily Gladstone describe Killers Of The Flower Moon?
in a (n Rich Gladstone spoke about the perception of the film as “Martin Scorsese’s western” and how it actually resembles more of a tragedy.
“A lot of people would really like to call this ‘Martin Scorsese’s western,'” Gladstone explained, before clarifying that it is in fact “a great American tragedy… As locals and westerns, we’re so dehumanized that it just feels like it , as if we were. Part of the landscape – instead of people telling a story.
The actress then shared her own experiences growing up on a reservation and how it made the film’s scenario feel familiar.
“Growing up on my reservation in Montana, American West and Indian Country, it was very familiar to me to see this goofy, over-the-top cowboy character fall in love with a really self-possessed local woman,” Gladstone explained. “It’s just a familiar dynamic.
