'Killers of the Flower Moon' star Lily Gladstone says the Martin Scorsese film was significantly re-written to avoid telling a 'white-savior story.'
The afterlives of ‘The Blind Side’ and ‘The Help,’ as well as the development of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ point to the tenacity of a timeworn Hollywood trope.Leonardo DiCaprio was originally attached to play the investigator, Tom White — until the screenplay underwent what Gladstone called a “great rewrite.” That shifted the historical drama’s focus from White’s investigation to the Osage and the circumstances that led to them being systematically killed with no consequences.
“It’s not a white-savior story,” Gladstone said of the final cut. “It’s the Osage saying, ‘Do something. Here’s money. Come help us.’”DiCaprio now stars in the film opposite Gladstone as her onscreen husband. The period piece tells the story of Mollie , an Osage woman whose family becomes wealthy after oil is discovered; and Ernest , a white man who conspires to marry Mollie while helping bring about the deaths of her loved ones in an effort to steal her family fortune.
