can I do?" He was joined by actors Leonardo DiCaprioRobert De Niro, Lily Gladstone and the leader of the Osage Nation, Chief Standing Bear. Robert drew a parallel to what occurred

with the Osage nation to the recent George Floyd tragedy during the Donald Trump administration. He said, "I don`t know a lot about my character. People do things. He has to be

charming. He has won people. Why he betrays them all? After George Floyd with systemic racism -that`s what it is- what happens there; what we never knew of the Black Street

Massacre, it's the banality of evil. It's the things we have to watch out for." "We see it today; we all know how I'm going to talk about but that guy (Donald) is stupid," added

Niro to dig at Trump. "Look with Trump! There are people who think he can do a good job," Robert concluded. Based on a true story and told through the romance between Burkhart
