Killers of the Flower Moon

September 16, 2023

The latest trailer for Scorsese's adaptation for Killers of the Flow Moon dropped this week. I cannot wait for the release. Every aspect of this film looks incredible.

If you have time read David Grann's book. He has done a tremendous amount of research that is presented in a way that is accessible to the reader. The story itself is diabolical. Another evil chapter in the history of the United States. Similar to the Tulsa Race Massacre I can't believe this is a story that has not been widely known for nearly a century.

On the train this week I listened to a recent episode Daniele Bolelli's podcast where he covered the source material. Obviously a bunch of spoilers in the episode, but it's a good listen if you want to have some background on the story before watching the movie.

Today I also noticed David Grann wrote The Lost City of Z, which is a book I really enjoyed. I went through a Percy Fawcett phase reading any material I could including his journals after I read Grann's book.

Grann's latest book The Wager is next in my queue.
