[quote:Anonymous Coward 842122:MV8xMDA5NDM3XzE1OTI0ODM5X0ZCNDBFMUZC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 912222] Actually this guy has aced Kubrick's style, especially the front screen projection process. And he also knows a lot about Kubrick because his other essay Alchemical Kubrick has to be one of the most insightful essays on 2001 ever written. Even his wife said that Kubrick worked with NASA for an entire year before filming on 2001 started. What were they working on? Why would NASA help Kubrick with his production? [/quote] Why not? He's a famous film director making a movie about SPACE. This is, for better or worse, [i]actually[/i] how the film world works. If he was making a film about, say, BASEBALL, he would've had Major League Baseball players and coaches on the set. He would've spent time with them in ballparks and in the clubhouse. Major League Baseball licenses out it logos and allows film productions to film in it's parks all the time. Usually for a price, yeah. But it happens. And it's mutually beneficial- the film now has authenticity and Major League Baseball gets to have its teams and their logos and jerseys up on the big screen. And also there's the (VERY real) simple truth that people [i]just like being affiliated with the movies[/i]. Who doesn't? So when Stanley Kubrick knocks on NASA's door, they answer and listen to what he has to say. And this is fancytime, WORLD-FAMOUS filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, who, coming off the mulitple Osscar nominations and financial success of "Dr. Strangelove" was, in many ways, at the height of his powers. So yes, [i]he sought out NASA's help, and they obliged.[/i] What would YOU have done if Stanley Kubrick called YOU and asked you to consult on his next film? If you're a NASA-wonk, and the film is "2001", THEN YOU OBLIGE HIM. This is one of the more-mystifying aspects, to me, of the "Kubrick-conspiracy": WHY [i]PEOPLE[/i] ARE SO "MYSTIFIED" NASA-employees were sought out by Kubrick to assist on "2001". And WHY did they agree? It makes perfect sense. And yes, in the year(s?) before cameras started rolling I'm sure Kubrick DID INDEED "work" with NASA. This is called "pre-production". And with Kubrick this was a particularly aruduous part of the process. He was meticulous about [i]everything[/i]. So, again, Kubrick spending this time with NASA-folks during pre-production on his SPACE MOVIE [i]does not[/i] ring alarm bells. It makes [i]sense[/i]. And when you're mentioning Christianne (his wife, and I know I'm spelling that wrong, but) are you referring to a documentary called "Dark Side of the Moon" by any chance? Because there [i]is[/i] a rather fantastic documentary called "Dark Side of the Moon" where she..."says" a few "things" about Stanley's "involvement" with NASA. Just curious though...is that where you heard that particular bit of info about his wife? A french documentary? [/quote]
Original Message
It has now been forty years since the fabled moon landings by NASA and the Apollo gang. When it comes to the subject of the moon landings, people tend to fall into two belief groups. The first group, by far the bigger of the two groups, accepts the fact that NASA successfully landed on the moon six times and that 12 human beings have actually walked on the surface of the moon. The second group, though far smaller, is more vocal about their beliefs. This group says that we never went to the moon and that the entire thing was faked.
This essay presents a third position on this issue. This third point of view falls somewhere between these two assertions. This third position postulates that humans did go to the moon but what we saw on TV and in photographs was completely faked.
Furthermore this third position reveals that the great filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is the genius who directed the hoaxed landings.
