ROOM 237
GENOCIDE, THE MOON LANDING, HORNY GHOSTS
On this day in 1969 (July 21), Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the lunar surface, marking a new chapter in the history of mankind’s accomplishment. However, not everyone believes the official story, and some go so far as to suggest the footage from the Apollo 11 landing was faked. Who would be technically savvy enough to produce such a fabrication? Kubrick would lead to you to believe it was himself, and he’d like to enlighten you to the true nature of the American government with a film called The Shining.
THE TIMELINE

Jan 1964 - Dr. Strangelove is released in theaters. Satirizing the American gov and military, Kubrick is hailed a genius.

April 1968 - 2001: A Space Odyssey is released in theaters.

THEMES OF THE SHINING
How The Past Haunts Us, The Cloud of Witnesses
Genocide and Forgetting About It - America Built on Indian Death
The Moon Landing Footage and Kubrick’s Direct Involvement
The Minotaur and the Maze - Escaping The Darkness of the Soul
Ghosts That Want To Fuck Us
2001: A Space Odyssey
Likely a proof of concept, maybe unwitting, or a direct result of Kubrick directing the Apollo 11 moon landing footage.
We may have gone to the Moon in the summer of 1969, but they may not have been able to livestream footage back to Earth, and therefore manufactured the footage (as they did heavily in WWII).
THE LENSES KUBRICK OBTAINED
In the early 1970’s, Stanley Kubrick used rare f/0.7 camera lenses manufactured by Carl Zeiss to shoot the candlelight-only scenes in Barry Lyndon. Only ten of these lenses were ever made; Zeiss kept one, three were sold to Kubrick and six to NASA. It is rumored that these lenses were designed specifically for the Apollo program, and that Kubrick’s first lens was gifted to him by NASA. The lens one of the largest relative aperture (fastest) lenses in history, designed to absorb as much light as possible for use in space photography.
Room 237 doesn’t exist. In the novel it’s Room 217, a real room at the Stanley which Stephen King stayed in around 1978 and got inspiration for the novel.
ROOM 237 - THE DOC
Jack is the Minotaur in the maze
Danny is trying to kill his dad
The movie is largely about genocide, specifically of the American Indians.
Calumet, or peace pipe
Remnants of the native peoples, built on Indian burial ground
Bull imagery, also genocided alongside the Indians
Baphomet and Final Image of The Shining
Everything Kubrick changed had to do with either NASA or the Minotaur.

Intrinsic value refers to the value of a stock based on the company and internal factors. External value is affected by the market, volatility, and other factors from outside the company.
A stock’s price is determined by both intrinsic and extrinsic value.
