Conspiracy theory: the trip to the Moon and Kubrick

The theory about the falsehood of the arrival to the Moon of Apollo XI and how the moon landing on television was actually a movie shot by director Stanley Kubrick in 1969, just after filming and premiere of "2001, an odyssey of space", is one of the most attractive conspiracy theories and that more literature has generated .The truth is that it is one of those stories that generates numerous questions., if this story is true, why did Kubrick lend himself to make that movie ?, Why, and even knowing that some of the guinos included in his films gave him away, he bothered to leave so many testimonies of his involvement in the filming of false moon landings? Wasn't this attitude as dangerous as stating it openly?

Conspiracy theory: the trip to the Moon and Kubrick

Those who know the figure of Stanley Kubrick point out that he was a director who left nothing to chance, everything in his movies had an intentionality.Of a obsessive and perfectionist character and little to give explanations about his cinema, I create around him an aura of mystery that made him a cult director , being the object of numerous and controversial explanations and theories about his work.of the most analyzed and dissected films in search of answers to their possible participation in the filming of false moon landings.

To start, and everything According to the defenders of this theory, "The Shining" (1980) is a very peculiar adaptation of the novel by Stephen King , so peculiar that King himself not only does not support the final result, but also showed openly his anger at Kubrick's attitude.The director had used the novel only as a pretext, changing content and providing numerous additional material that, compared to the plot of the book, was arbitrary and meaningless..A From there began the controversy about the film and the search for hidden meanings.

One of the scenes from« 2001: a space odyssey »

For theorizers, "The Shining" would be a very personal Kubrick movie in which a clear declaration of the dwarf would have been made 11 years after The images of the false moon landing were filmed.Kubrick would be represented by the two main characters: Jack, the father, role played by Jack Nicholson; and by Danny, the son of the protagonist couple. Jack would be the most pragmatic part of Kubrick at a time in his life in which he is willing to do anything to reach his recognition as an artist , writer in the case of the character of the film; while Danny would represent the artistic part, the purest of director.So, Jack acquires the commitment to take care of the Hotel Overlook just as Kubrick acquired the commitment to shoot the moon landings, It is understood that the hotel is the United States.

For his part Danny en the character with greater relevance in the revelation of the message of the film.Yes, in a scene in which Danny is riding his tricycle through the halls of the hotel, and when getting up to see where a ball that has appeared from nowhere, we can see how in the sweater the child looks there is a rocket with the words Apollo 11 , being that image a kind of symbolic rocket launch .

Then the little one goes to the forbidden room , the 237 in the film and the 217 in Stephen King's book.A change in which theorizers have also seen a signal: the 237,000 miles that separate Earth from the Moon .

But you also have to keep in mind that…

This theory has reached a level of complexity such that in 2002 was filmed "Operation Moon" or "The Dark Side of the Moon", a documentary by director William Karel in which it was speculated that the arrival of man on the moon of Apollo XI was shot in a study by Stanley Kubrick by order of President Richard Nixon providing evidence of its truthfulness.Karel provided interviews with authorities of the moment in which they confessed the dwarf and conspiracy, but all they are manipulated and the documentary was meant to be a joke for the April Fools' Day.

With all this data, what do you think now? Can a person be afraid to openly reveal a falsehood, but do it in an veiled way without fear of reprisals? The truth is that the conspiracy theory also speculates on the circumstances of the director's death , but there is nothing conclusive about it: Stanley Kubrick passed away on March 7, 1999 at his home in England to the age of 70 and as a result of a heart attack and four days after the private pass of his last film , "Eyes wide shut" .

If you have been interested in this story, you will surely like to know more about the symbology of "The Shining".
