The first thing I thought of when reading information about the movie Killers of the Flower Moon (Vietnamese title: Blood Moon) was how to sit outside the theater to watch a 3 and a half hour long movie? However, this prejudice about the film’s length was immediately removed when the review tip booked tickets and experienced Blood Moon. Everything the film brings to viewers is truly worthy of cinema and Killers of the Flower Moon is certainly one of the strong candidates for this year’s Oscar season. Let’s review the movie Blood Moon to find out why I give the movie such compliments!
Plot: Based on the book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann, Blood Moon is the story of Ernest Burkhart – a young man discharged from the army who returns to the distant West. was inhabited by a wealthy tribe of Osage Indians on the advice of their powerful uncle William Hale. Here, he met and quickly fell in love with local girl Mollie. However, this marriage led to a series of mysterious deaths of Indians in a cowardly plot driven by bottomless greed.
Overall, Blood Moon is really long in duration but not long when we enjoy it in theaters because the film’s storytelling is extremely captivating on the basis of a fascinating original story and arouses curiosity in audiences. audience as well as being performed by the most talented actors in today’s cinema. The beauty of Blood Moon is that it strongly looks straight at the stains in American history and brings it to the big screen in a naked and satirical way. To better understand the good and bad points of the movie, let’s continue reading Tip review’s more detailed comments about Blood Moon.
Plus mark:
The biggest plus point of Blood Moon is that it’s an interesting story told in popular language but still has enough weight to make it difficult for viewers to take their eyes off the screen. Surely everyone sitting in the theater enjoying Blood Moon is very curious to know what plots the hypocritical white capitalists will carry out next to usurp the land, money and property of black people. red kindness. Two parallel stories about the tricks to usurp Ernest’s uncle and nephew’s estate and the love between Ernest and Mollie intertwine, bringing interesting questions to each viewer’s mind and illusively posing their own conclusions. about the good and evil, right and wrong of the characters.
Blood Moon is not as difficult to watch as we think Oscar nominees are. From the way of conveying to the message of the film, everything is expressed very clearly and is easy to absorb. We see the terrible greed of the white capitalists in America, hidden and disguised as gentlemen to achieve their goals without any tricks or blood. They describe understanding the culture, thoughts and pain that the Osage tribe in particular and the Indians in general had to endure from the hungry vultures outside looking for their ancestral lands. The images of Hale, Ernest and those involved are just one of the many stains that are difficult to erase in the history of a country that values freedom, democracy and justice.
Another commendable point that needs to be mentioned is the way the producers chose to end the film. Unlike conventional films, if you use a love story ending, it will inevitably reduce the value of the masterpiece, so Blood Moon has chosen an extremely unique ending that is both attractive and captivating. Attractive, easy to understand, artistic, sophisticated and puts more thoughts in the audience’s mind. In addition, the film also uses a number of creative storytelling techniques that integrate the past and present as well as clearly portraying the indigenous culture of the aboriginal people, helping to make the film more diverse and limited. boredom brought about by too long a time.
Tip review also really liked the images and sounds of Blood Moon. The film’s colors are beautiful, the set costumes are meticulously invested, and the close-up and far-field angles are very impressive. The film’s music creates suspense, danger and drama, making the details of Blood Moon more haunting and enhancing the film’s satirical message. In particular, the film’s shooting and killing scenes are staged in a very crude, naturalistic manner, but are also full of violence and gore, truly impressing viewers with the cruelty that humans can commit. the magic of money.
The acting is definitely one of the plus points of the movie that everyone talks about. With the best names in Hollywood cinema today including director Martin Scorsese, actor Robert De Niro and especially Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s no surprise that everything in the movie can be natural, honest, and magical. sadness and such a strong impression. They are no longer themselves but their characters with the super power to attract viewers’ eyes with their every gesture, action and word. Tip review is also very impressed with Lily Gladsotone’s role as Mollie with her expressive eyes and extremely energetic and attractive voice. The overall acting of the film is excellent and this will be fertile ground for the film’s Oscar nomination next year.
Minus point:
It’s hard to find a point to deduct from the film. Perhaps, Blood Moon is a bit long due to some rather redundant details. If left out, it still doesn’t affect the flow of the film much. Besides, the twist and drama of Blood Moon are not really strong, so viewers cannot gasp at the surprises that the film brings. However, according to Tip review, the filmmakers focused on portraying the greed and cruelty of white capitalists towards the fate of the Indians, so they did not go in the direction of unexpected entertainment that we expect. often look forward to when going to the theater to enjoy a movie.

Tip review: 9.0/10 (Addictive)
In short, Blood Moon is a tragic epic about greed in the history of American exploration, told from the perspective of a talented director and the ecstatic performances of a top cast. Although the movie’s current screenings are relatively small and it takes nearly 1 session to watch the entire movie, according to Tip review, the movie is an extremely wonderful cinematic experience that you cannot miss. The movie is not academic and difficult to read, but it takes patience and concentration to comprehend. Everything will flow on its own and leave a deep mark in your mind after leaving the theater. That is the power of cinema, the power of real cinema.
