Discussing his interest in Grann’s book in an exclusive interview with Deadline before Cannes, Scorsese said that he first responded to the “natural order of things” depicted in the narrative.
“It might be logical to think that if there’s going to be no use for the Osage, if they’re going to be phased out anyway, then we don’t know why, help them go,” he said. “And, finally, do we really feel any guilt for that? I don’t mean you and I, but when you’re doing what was being done to the Osage, and if you try to dehumanize someone We do.
