The glow o The Shining in English is one of the best psychological horror films in history, released in 1980 and produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, while the leading role falls to Jack Nicholson.
Is movie The Shining is based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, published in 1977, although the novel and the film differ notably.
And all that he has produced and directed Stanley Kubrick is shrouded in mystery, and The Shining is no exception, because there is a crazy theory that has been going around for quite a few years, in which it is pointed out that the film is a direct allusion to the theory that the human being did not reach the Moon in 1969.
It seems that there are a number of details in the film of The Shining that refer to the non-landing on the moon in 1969, and that many consider that it did not really happen and that it was staged.

Those details that went unnoticed in The Shining
If you didn’t look closely at The Shining, the pattern drawn on the Overlook Hotel’s carpets looks suspiciously like an image of the Apollo 11 launch pads.
On the other hand, another of the changes that Kubrick made is the number of the mysterious room. In the novel it’s 217 but in the movie it’s 237. And once again, it seems to be a reference to the Moon, since the distance from the Earth to the Moon is 237,000 miles.
Then, one of the most famous English proverbs is “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, which means in Spanish that “if you never separate from work, you will become a boring person”. Well, in the film, there is a sequence in which this phrase appears repeated countless times in a typed text.
And according to this theory, the word “All” refers to Apollo 11, and refers to the deteriorating mental state of the main character who is preparing one of the biggest hoaxes in history.
Whether you believe this theory or not, it is clear that The Shining still generates a lot of discussion and is one of the best films psychological horror story.
