Killers of the Flower Moon: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (genre echo): Killers of the Flower Moon → Giant. Its magnitude and oil, family and betrayal themes recall Giant, with Ford, Hawks, Stevens epic scale.
    “I did think of giant a few times while watching the movie, which is a movie about oil and families and betrayal.”

The Killing: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (awards-year contrast): The Killing → Giant. The Killing's little low-budget kind stands against the bloated epics (Giant, King and I, Ten Commandments) of the era.
