Killers of the Flower Moon was partially inspired by Ari Aster, says Martin Scorsese.In an interview with The Irish Times, director Martin Scorsese says the work of Ari Aster helped him pace his upcoming film, Killers of the Flower Moon. The total run time for the movie is 3 and 1/2 hours — a choice that Scorsese vehemently defends. That being said, he understands the crucial aspect of pacing in a movie that long, stating, “I very much like the style and pacing of good horror films like Ari Aster’s Midsommar or Beau Is Afraid. The pacing of those films goes back to the B films of Val Lewton, Jacques Tourneur’s Cat People or I Walked With a Zombie. Just going a little slower. A little quieter.” Midsommar in particular has been praised for its eerie and suspenseful slow burn, making audiences wait for the terrifying payoff.Scorsese went on to discuss his decision in keeping certain scenes that themselves weren’t pertinent to the main conflict, but were very much crucial to respecting the Osage culture; seeing as the story follows the native Osage people, it would be counterintuitive to depict their real life erasure while cutting culturally significant practices out of the film. Scorsese in particular named important events such as baby namings, funerals, and weddings as things that were important for him to portray whether or not they were directly related to the primary plot. “I felt confident that a lot of people would allow themselves to be immersed in the world of the film,” he said. “One has to take these chances. At this age, what else can I do?”RELATED: Midsommar Movie Ending, Explained
