When it comes to movies featuring Indigenous Americans, there is always concern about the portrayal reinforcing stereotypes or marginalizing the culture. However, a viral video from Cannes showcasing authentic war cries suggests that the new epic film, “Killers of the Flower Moon” directed by Martin Scorsese, might just exceed expectations.
Dakota Running Crane, an account on social media, shared a clip that captured the end of the film’s screening at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. The video showcased three indigenous actors from the film proudly demonstrating their heritage. Notably, the ovation for their performance lasted an impressive nine minutes.
“The Native country cannot wait for the release of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’,” wrote Running Crane in the caption. The voiceover in the video further highlighted the significance, stating, “Native brothers showing the Cannes Film Festival what a warrior call is.”
The clip evokes strong emotions as actors William Belleau and Tatanka Means cheer and shout with pride during the ovation. One actor even raises his fist triumphantly while Belleau belts out a powerful scream. This moment holds great poignancy for the actors themselves.
Their performance even moves Martin Scorsese to tears, further fueling the excitement surrounding the movie. “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an adaptation of the book “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI” by journalist David Grann.
The film narrates the story of a series of murders that took place in Oklahoma’s Osage Nation during the 1920s, following the discovery of oil on their land. The star-studded cast includes Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brendan Fraser, Lily Gladstone, as well as talented indigenous actors like Tantoo Cardinal and Cara Jade Myers. This highly anticipated movie hits theaters on October 20th.
