Wealth and Displacement

The film explores the complex dynamics of wealth and displacement as the Osage Nation, once forcibly migrated, becomes incredibly wealthy due to oil discoveries on their land. However, this newfound wealth is met with restrictions, highlighting a significant culture clash between the Osage and emerging white America. Scorsese’s signature filmmaking style brings this tumultuous era to life, immersing viewers in the vibrant yet conflicted world of early 20th-century Oklahoma.
