Ported from a dead account Feels almost like a companion piece for The Irishman. I had to rewatch The Irishman to truly appreciate it, and I think I need to rewatch this at some point. It likes to foreshadow deaths and play around with the timeline, like The Irishman did, but where it differs majorly is in its hell and redemption arcs. This story is much bleaker, but it has something of a redemption arc, and I like that it's somewhat open to interpretation. In The Irishman there was no redemption. Also death is not the end of the journey here, at least for some characters. I feel both movies are very Christian in their themes. I hear a lot of Osage people thought this film wasn't a good representation of them. But it's not really a film about Osage. It's wrong to even look at it as if its goal was representation.
