The Osage language consultant for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film expressed his complex emotions toward the project.At the Apple TV+ premiere for Killers of the Flower Moon, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Christopher Cote, the film’s Osage language consultant, who stated he had “strong opinions” about the end product. While he agrees that film director Martin Scorsese “did a great job representing [the Osage] people,” but that ultimately the perspective and characterization of Ernest Burkhardt (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) was skewed.”They kind of give him this conscience and kind of depict that there’s love. But when somebody conspires to murder your entire family, that’s not love. That’s not love, that’s just beyond abuse,” Cote said. In the film, Ernest is a white man who falls in love with an Osage woman named Mollie Kyle, played by Lily Gladstone. Ultimately, however, Ernest betrays Mollie for the resources on the land.RELATED: Francis Ford Coppola Says Killers of the Flower Moon “Delivers on Every Level”
