Anyone seen this?

The Coli tinfoil hat weirdos will be eating good off this. Goes into the Kubrick Apollo 11 conspiracy. Obvious bullshyt but very entertaining.

But the film offers multiple theories and intretations of obsessive fans. From the film being a metaphor for the Native American and Jewish holocausts to looking at the all the logical inconsistencies the film has that Kubrick did on purpose.

Whatever you believe this cat Kubrick was one another fukking plane all together.

I can't recommend it enough for Kubrick fans. I thought the majority of the theories are seriously stetched but it goes to show how complex his films were that people could have so many different readings of the film, and it's a testament to the power of cinema and it's ability to effect people in various ways.

I saw it. When some dude starts talking about seeing Kubrick's face in the clouds....but never actually pointing out where Kubrick's face is in the clouds....I got turned off to it.

The best theory that I've heard, and I can't remember if the documentary pushes this one....is that the kid in the film is being molested.

Spread itself too thin with theories IMO, wasted too much time on mundane shyt("THAT WINDOW SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN THERE :krs:" "If you pause the film you can see Kubrick's face in the clouds, but I'd need Photoshop to highlight it") and completely glossed over some of the more interesting theories I've read online


Turned it off after an hr
