Thanks. I moved my title too.
I had never heard that the Tulsa massacre had anything to do with oil being found on land belonging to black residents. Rather, my impression was that it was one of many incidents in which white supremacists got it into their minds to lynch a young black man, and in lieu of doing that, they went ahead and destroyed a prosperous section of town owned by blacks (not on account of any oil on it) and murder a bunch of black residents too (also not on account of any oil they might have had a right to).
Then I take it you’ve never seen Silence (a movie about a missionary who is too chicken shit to have the courage of his own convictions and which spends three or four hours presenting the same missionary as some kind of hero/victim even as he is an architect of colonialism and, yeah, white supremacy) and The Irishman (with the titular role played by one of the most well know Italian American actors of all time for some reason, having essentially no plot, and providing no reason to give two shits about the main character or anyone else in the film—and that’s not even mentioning the age disparity and the bad CGI).
Anyway, I stand by my (positive) review of KotFM upthread. I think it was really good.
I don’t know how I missed this thread, but I loved this movie. I’ll rewatch it at some point.
Robert De Niro is half Irish.
I have to say that I found the movie to be at least interesting enough to finish, but it immediately became the sixth movie in my “Three Older Directors Who Need to Retire Gracefully Collection.” The other two directors are Tim Burton and Ridley Scott.
