Jack’s writing is proof of his slipping consciousness but conspiracy theorists believe this to be a hint at A 11. In the book, the room number was 217 but it is widely believed that Kubrick changed it to 237 as the distance between the Earth and the moon is roughly 237,000 miles. Room 237 Since Stanley Kubrick changed the Room No from 217 to 237, it is believed to be another clue.Īs Danny rises up with from the carpet (seen as launch pad) wearing his sweater (Apollo 11), he enters the dreaded Room 237. This is seen as the big clue that Kubrick is indeed talking about his involvement with the ‘fake moon landing’ project. Conspiracy theorists believe that it looks strikingly similar to the Appollo 11 launch pad.ĭanny’s sweater Danny’s Apollo 11 sweater has become iconic mainly due to the fact this moment represents the fake mission.ĭanny eventually rises up from the carpet and he is seen wearing a sweater with a rocket with the text Apollo 11. In a shot taken from above, we see Danny playing in the corridor on a patterned carpet. The scene that begins from this shot is seen by conspiracy theorists as Kubrick’s confession. In the book, there was a single child but it is believed that Kubrick used the twins to signify the failed Gemini mission by NASA.
Moon landing fake movie#
The Shining is based on a book by Stephen King but Kubrick changed a lot of details when he made the movie and one of those elements is the appearance of the dead twins. The dead twins The dead twins apparently signify NASA’s failed Gemini mission. It is also assumed that Overlook Hotel represents America with its long brutal history. This is taken as a nod to the ‘Eagle’ which was the name of lunar landing module that carried Apollo 11.

The manager who meets with Jack has an American flag on his table with an eagle looking over them.

In the beginning of the film, we are told that Overlook Hotel stands on an Indian burial ground. The Overlook Hotel The Overlook Hotel, where the events of The Shining take place, is seen as the representation of America. In the 2012 documentary Room 237, these clues were deeply examined by Jay Weidner.

Why? Because it wasn't practical for the astronauts to walk around with handheld cameras.But how does The Shining come in the picture?Ĭonspiracy theorists believe that there are multiple clues in the Jack Nicholson starrer that point to the fact that Kubrick shot the moon landing and this was his way of confessing it. So, who took the picture? Counter-point: This shot of Buzz Aldrin was taken by Neil Armstrong with a camera attached to his suit. But there's no sign that either astronaut is holding a camera. Point: Armstrong and the Eagle can be seen in Aldrin's helmet visor in that iconic photograph. And since the Moon's gravitation pull is very weak-it is one-sixth of that of Earth-the Eagle lander didn't need a large blast to slow itself down. However, when the module did land on the surface, one can see the dust fly in the air. Counter-point: Since the astronauts were travelling horizontally for a bit the thrusters weren't pointing downwards and therefore wouldn't have been able to kick off a dust cloud. Point: When the Eagle landed on the Moon, it didn't scatter any dust, nor did it leave a crater from the afterburner. And post the mission, medical examinations of the astronauts showed that as predicted there was no impact on their health. However, this was well known, and the Apollo mission was planned such that the astronauts passed through the belt when the radiation was at its weakest, and the transition time was the shortest, ie just 30 minutes. Scientists post that the energy from this zone can be potentially lethal. How did Apollo 11 pass through all that radiation? Counter-point: The Van Allen Belt is a zone of highly-charged radiation around the Earth. Point: The Van Allen Belt would have killed the astronauts.
