Amazing that mollies granddaughter is alive n well. Shows that even with the reign of terror the osage people still continue on.

They were given life in prison but paroled and even pardon. What a disgrace

I just watched Killers of the Flower Moon in the theater, it was a wonderful film and based on a true story.
-
It haunts me how sad it is. Great movie but Mollie must of died absolute broken.

My mom, daughter and myself saw the movie last night. We thought the story was very well told. I’m sorry your family went through such tragedy and constant heartbreak. This should be known to all people and kept in history not to shame but to learn from the past so “we” can do better in the future.

This movie, I felt was very emotional. I really felt it in my soul.

IMO, Mollie did love Ernest, and in a crazy blind way, she found it hard to accept his involvement in her family's murders. IMO, Ernest had feelings for Mollie, but his greed ran deeper than his love for her. It was such a sad story, but it shows how money, having it or not, can change people. In this case, it changed life for generations.

She looks just like her.

i will still talk about this and my thoughts will share the grief.forever.😢😢

Heartbreaking 💔💔 cruel world
-
Hurts the heart to think how many Osage were lost due to greed. Rest in Peace to Mollie and the rest of her family.

”For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.“ I Timothy 6:10

the story that happened about this indigenous community. A reflection of human greed is a lack of humanity. Throughout the history of the Americas, many indigenous peoples were massacred, exterminated and their lands were invaded. To this day, in South America, indigenous communities are threatened because their land contains valuable minerals, timber or land invasions.

Money and greed 😢well written
-
Trusting people who have systemically wiped out your people generation after generation is wild.
-
This is an amazing accurate depiction in a movie the life of Mollie Burkhart and an achievement of a true life story in "Killers of the flower moon".

So glad this movie was made. I have SO MUCH RESPECT AND SYMPATHY for Americas First Peoples in general. Their history should be/deserves to be more front and centre.
