Robert De Niro led an eventful race Flower Moon Killer Honor at the Gotham Awards tonight, where he appeared to struggle with the teleprompter, but backtracked after a while, saying his speech was edited without his knowledge, hence the confusion. The star of the Martin Scorsese film then turned to alternative facts, the state of the union and Donald Trump’s “lies” – and the former president’s use of Pocahontas as an insult.
“The beginning of my speech was edited and cut out. I didn’t know anything about it. And I want to read it,” he told the large crowd at Cipriani Wall Street to loud applause. “History is no longer history. Truth is not truth. Even facts are replaced by alternative facts and fueled by conspiracy theories and ugliness. In Florida, young students learn that slaves develop skills they can use for personal gain. The entertainment industry is not immune to this virulent disease. Duke John Wayne famously said of the Indians, “I don’t think we did anything wrong…There was a great number of people who needed new land, and the Indians selfishly tried to keep it for themselves. “
“Lies have simply become a tool in the arsenal of charlatans. The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office, and he’s keeping up that pace in his current campaign of retaliation. But despite all his lies, he cannot hide his soul. He attacks the weak, destroys nature’s gifts and shows disrespect, like using Pocahontas as an insult.”
“Filmmakers, on the other hand — that’s where I came in and I saw how they edited it all.”
The story of a series of murders of the Osage Nation people after oil was discovered on their land in the 1920s began in Oklahoma at Cannes, Deadline review. Lily Gladstone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, Jillian Dion, JaNae Collins, William Belleau, Yancey Redcorn and Talee Redcorn also star. Eric Roth adapted the screenplay from David Grann’s 2017 book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI.
It is an Apple film distributed by Paramount. In his speech, De Niro apparently blamed Apple for the editing. “I don’t feel like thanking them at all for what they did. How dare they actually do that… But now I will accept the price Flower Moon Killer.”
