| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the compound and friends. It's your boy downtown Josh Brown. I wanted to start today by talking about a couple things actually. Let's get into Killers of the Flower Moon. This is one of the better books that I've read in the last couple |
| 0:15.0 | of years and I don't want to tell anyone not to see the film and I'm not going to spoil like the whole thing but it's a it's a historical |
| 0:25.0 | true story and by now you probably have some sense of what it's about these this is |
| 0:30.6 | a string of murders that took place in the 1920s. |
| 0:34.8 | Basically, the Osage Indian tribe was per capita, |
| 0:40.1 | the wealthiest people in the world. They were given this horrible farmland as a reservation. |
| 0:46.3 | And then little did anyone know this land was sitting atop just a massive oil reserve very close to the surface in those days |
| 0:55.4 | they weren't able to drill deeply and you know oil was just at that point |
| 1:00.8 | really taking off as I suppose the most important technology of the day. |
| 1:07.0 | So they become fabulously wealthy and then of course the white man is looking on and they are working in many cases for the Osage and they are in 10 camps and so of course you know the murders begin and it's a |

| 1:36.3 | half hour movie and it's not just that it's a three and a half hour movie that's the issue. It's that you could have told this story in two and a half hours and really not lost anything |
| 1:49.5 | And a lot of what makes up that three and a half hour runtime is it's I don't I don't want to |
| 1:57.6 | blame it on cinematography but they're like these really long lingering shots on the prairie or someone's face or you know they'll |
| 2:06.8 | they'll follow someone walking through the crowd and it just it slows the |
| 2:12.3 | action down to the point where it's noticeable. |
| 2:15.4 | So you're two hours in and it's just an incredible film |
| 2:20.4 | and you recognize that what you're watching is just a really beautifully crafted |
| 2:25.0 | well-made movie by Marty Scorsese who has made many beautifully crafted well |
| 2:30.9 | well-made movies and you see all of the art that he's |
| 2:35.6 | putting into this but then you also see your phone screen and you say to yourself |
