SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Directed by Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon is based on true events — ones that were researched in depth for David Grann’s book, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI — but there are some changes made for the film. Adapting a true story has its challenges, especially when it comes to the depictions of real-life people and the details surrounding the case.
7 Mollie & Ernest Burkhart Aren’t The Main Characters Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is centered around Mollie Burkhart, her husband Ernest. The film follows them through courtship, marriage, and the birth of their children, all while Ernest is complicit in the murder of Mollie’s family behind her back.
5 The Explosion That Killed Rita Was Also Meant For Mollie In Killers of the Flower Moon, Ernest was relieved that Mollie wasn’t at Rita’s house because he knew it was going to be blown up. Grann surmises, however, that Ernest meant for Mollie and their children to die in the explosion that killed Mollie’s sister Rita, her husband, and their maid.
