Martin Scorsese cameo in Killers of the Flower Moon stuns fans
Killers of the Flower Moon fans have been surprised by a cameo from Martin Scorsese himself in the film’s final scene.
Scorsese has made numerous appearances in his own films, accumulating a grand total of 20 self-directed cameos throughout his career. This tradition traces back to his 1967 film, Who's That Knocking at My Door? Remember to keep
intact at its original position.
In Killers of the Flower Moon, Scorsese frequently engages with his main characters in a unique manner, particularly evidenced in scenes following the pivotal moment of William D. Hale's trial. The film transitions to a deliberately-staged radio play, evocative of dramas from the 1950s, where the fates of real-life figures such as William D. Hale, Ernest Burkhart, and Mollie Burkhart are recounted alongside others, all from a third-person perspective.
In the conclusion of Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese comes on screen to personally disclose Mollie Burkhart's future and destiny. His appearance in the film has been praised by Digital Spy for its significant impact, surpassing the effectiveness of any end title cards. GQ also recognized the cameo as a compelling and poignant farewell moment.
The movie's fans were both surprised and emotionally touched by Scorsese's unexpected appearance.
"One person commented, 'The ending of Killers of the Flower Moon is phenomenal and it completely changes the way you view not just the entire movie but Scorsese's entire career. And that cameo startled me. It's a great movie!'"
The middle scene in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON featuring Tantoo Cardinal is incredibly serene amidst all the devastation. It left me speechless. Another impactful moment in the film is the unexpected cameo by Martin at the end. It was a delightful surprise, and I appreciate his dedication to appearing onscreen. Let's all express our gratitude to Marty!
