Draws on
What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.
Goodfellas (1990): 3 lines
-
craft (opening style) · through Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), which they produced:
Goodfellas ⇒ Killers of the Flower Moon (the host's read).
The opening tracking shot echoes the Copacabana shot before the film rejects that mode.
“It was a very long tracking shot through Leo's arrival, which is, you know, gesturing to Copacabana”
The Big Picture · ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Is Astounding · 0:14:19 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them) -
contrast (inverts) · through Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), which they produced:
Goodfellas ⇒ Killers of the Flower Moon (the host's read).
Same crimes by white men but with no romance or good life, a deliberate answer to Goodfellas' seductiveness.
“there's a romance to Goodfellas that does not exist here.”
The Big Picture · ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Is Astounding · 0:28:46 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them) -
unmapped (narration trick) · through Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), which they produced:
Goodfellas ⇒ Killers of the Flower Moon (the host's read).
Molly's voiceover recalls Karen taking over narration in Goodfellas.
“Goodfellas does this. There's a moment when Karen takes over the narration.”
The Big Picture · ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Is Astounding · 1:08:58 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
Titanic (1997): 1 line
-
lineage (callback) · through Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), which they produced:
Titanic ⇒ Killers of the Flower Moon (the host's read).
The car make-out scene is a funny Titanic callback.
“I thought there was a really funny callback to Titanic when they're making out in the car.”
