20 Things You Didn't Know About The Shining
5. Danny's Sweater Apparently Means The Moon Landing Was Faked
Stanley Kubrick never tells anyone anything straight. I suspect whenever he moved houses, he'd give the mailman a god damn treasure map and scavenger hunt just to find the damn mailbox. So it makes sense that if he were in on some big secret, he wouldn't just tell people, oh no, he'd make us f*%king work for it.
This is the best justification I can think of for people believing that Kubrick helped to fake the moon landing. And what is their evidence for such a mind blowing revelation? In one scene of the movie, Danny is wearing a sweater that has a rocket on it and the words "Apollo 1969".
Yeah, that's uh...that's it, that's all they got.
It shouldn't be shocking that moon landing truthers have very little evidence to back up their theory that one of the most famous and photographed men in the world at the time was secretly behind the faking of the biggest event in world history at that same time. And yet, it adds to the mystique of the movie, giving the film another layer of mystery and weirdness that makes it all the more interesting to watch and dissect.
Still a dumbass conspiracy though.
