In Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese gives us one of his most evil villains in Robert De Niro's William "King" Hale.
The Big Picture Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 'Killers of the Flower Moon'Filmmaking icon Martin Scorsese is finally back with his critically acclaimed epic, Killers of the Flower Moon, and the true crime Western may just feature the most evil villain to ever appear in a Scorsese movie.
Who is William Hale in 'Killers of the Flower Moon'? When we first meet William Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon, he is a hugely respected and influential cattle ranch owner in the Osage Nation Reservation of Oklahoma - one of the most affluent places in the world at the time due to the high concentration of oil in the area. Hale has spent years of his life building his trust with the Osage Native Americans who rightfully own this land, even becoming fluent in their language.
Despite the number of bodies increasing and causing continued skepticism among the Osage Nation, nobody ever suspects that Hale is involved, nor does anyone connected to this criminal enterprise ever expose Hale's scheme. That's because William Hale's infectious charisma and likable personality gain the trust of his victims and co-conspirators alike. That's a crucial element for why Hale is so much more dangerous and intimidating than other Scorsese movie villains.
Being the alleged mastermind behind the Osage Killings, William Hale is connected to at least 60 deaths of Native Americans in the Osage Nation. Still, the true number of fatalities could be well over a hundred. That is almost double the amount of people that serial killer Charles Manson was responsible for. Many of these victims, as depicted in Killers of the Flower Moon, were the family members of his nephew's wife, Mollie Burkhart.
