From 1945 to 1991 there was the Cold War between the United States, NATO, and the Western world and the Soviet Union, Comintern in Asia, and the Warsaw Pact in Europe.
In 1968, Stanley Kubrick released 2001:A Space Oddesy.
Meanwhile the Space Race was going on between the
USA and the USSR, with the Soviets having major wins, leading to the US becoming desperate to get a major win.
Now, here's where we get
crazy, because this theory states that the US gov, seeing Kubrick's wonderful job filming space, hired Stanley Kubrick to film the Moon Landing, giving the US a false major win over the Soviets.
There's even a video released after Kubrick's
death of him confessing to it.
Now for the debunking.
First off, no member of the world at large had seen video of space, meaning he could've made it look however, and you have to keep in mind this is Kubrick that we're talking about. His films are incredibly
well-made with dozens upon dozens of retakes until it's perfect, not to mention the director and extended editions, while the Moon Landing has
bad audio and video quality, is
short, is
fuzzy, and is the polar oppisite of Kubrick's works.
Now at this point you
may be thinking "But my name, you said there's video of him confessing to it",
well, that video is quite easy to be proven as a hoax -- made by a random
guy who moderately looks
like 1990s Kubrick --, simple as.
As to why this easily-disprovable conspiracy began,
well, that is something I'm still pondering, myself.
Reddit Conspiracy Theorist: Hey man, y'know
Stanley Kurbrick Filmed the Moon Landing?!
You, an intellectual: Don't be a
fool; everyone knows Hitchcock filmed it
This was originally about 2,400 characters, but I needed to revise it to just 1,500 to publish it, so it's not as enticing, not as in depth, nor does it explain what nations were even in the Comintern or Warsaw Pact, but i encourage you to watch a video on
YouTube about this by The Why Files
