I’m not saying that this perspective is wrong exactly but there’s a gender dimension completely absent from this analysis. It interests me that so many people find themselves identifying with the man we’re following around and not the wife he was abusing

If you told Killers from the Osage perspective, the non-Osage audience would directly identify with them. By keeping Burkhart as the protagonist, Scorsese prevents this. Then, using the old Cowboys-vs-Indians structure, Scorsese indicts us to show who the actual savages are.
