Killers of the Flower Moon and Snow White

My wife and I watched Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and it was good, tragic but long. There was deception, betrayal, twisted family dynamics, greed, discrimination, blatant murder, immortality and other things to this movie. DiCaprio and DeNiro played their roles well as more or less the villains who acted like the good guys. At three and a half hours, it starts out slowly but really picks up as it goes along. With Scorsese being eighty-years-old, it is quite a feat that he could still make a movie of this high of quality, showing why he is such a highly regarded director.

As far as entertainment goes, it is interesting to see that another company, the Daily Wire, is going to make their own version of Snow White. There have had many gripes with Disney as of late regarding their constant remakes and reboots, their messaging, and the quality of their entertainment products. While they have had some hits, between Marvel, Pixar, LucasFilms, and Disney proper, they seemingly have been losing money with a lot of their offerings. It looks like this new Snow White is in response to the one that Disney is currently making, and I am curious to see how the final outcomes will be for both versions.

I am all for seeing the creativity and storytelling that both will put into their versions of Snow White. If one is good, and one is bad, then it is what it is. However, if both are good, then we the audience benefits.
