"The Shining" - The Stanley Kubrick (film)version of the book. I wanted to watch it again after reading up on the symbolism/various themes and seeing a short commentary on it. I think the people who argue that it is a confession of sorts (a confession to helping fake the moon landings) have a case, not something that is prove-able, but something that is plausible. I also don't accept the notion that the room number change was from concern regarding possible guest fright - not when the number was changed to 237 (237,000miles being the accepted distance from moon to earth in common scientific dogma at the time). Some of the people listing the differences between book and movie don't seem to know the reason (or the possible reason) for the twins appearances and cyclical rotations of Danny's rides around the hotel. In a key scene, Danny rises slowly wearing a shirt that says "Apollo 11 USA" which has a rocket on it, after having a foreign object (a ball or sphere) rolled into his play area. He then proceeds to room 237, where he is almost strangled before escaping. In Greek Mythology, Apollo was the twin of Artemis, and it was Apollo who was responsible for "moving the Sun across the sky". Thus both the twin and Apollo 11 references could easily be tied to proving the Heliocentric model over the geocentric model with a final end to the debate on whether it was flat or sphere. With what can now be shown to be fake pictures, of course.
This film is deliciously creepy with the various references -overt and covert to the moon landings. Doesn't prove anything, just strongly suggests it.
