DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
world headlines

Originally, in 2001, director William Karel wanted to make a film on Stanley Kubrick, one year after his death. While talking to his widow, he discovered the extent of the collaboration that existed between Kubrick and the NASA. It turns out that Kubrick and other Hollywood producers contributed largely to the popular success of the US space programme by turning it into a show (design of astronauts’ suits, colour fo the Apollo capsule, positioning of the rocket launcher in Cape Canaveral, etc…)

You pretend that it is conspiracy theory whereas you don't even consider the facts. The facts here is not about ludicrous rumors on Internet, the facts here is about PERSONALITIES WHO HAVE TESTIMONIED IN THE FILM:

- the WIFE OF STANLEY KUBRIK. It is HER THAT ACCUSES THAT THE CIA HAS BEEN TERRORISING HIS HUSBAND AND FAMILY DURING THE REST OF HIS LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS SECRET THEY WANTED TO KEEP. Shea said that their telephone was tapped, they wouldn't get out of their house and garden because he feared so much that they would try to trap and kill him.
- General WALTERS who has been interviewed by the journalist. At the end of the film he demands for a cut off because he said he would prefer to answer to a question the next day. The next day the journalists found him dead.
You can look on gov site his death has been announced. Also check on the Herald Tribune who announces general Walters death (as he is a high figure of army) they made a short remark that he was just interviewed by journalists the day before about the moon.

and many other testimonies I only mention the two most striking.

The link worked yesterday, at the moment it doesn't seem to work, maybe just a temporary disconnection.

 

So at the origin William Karel a well reknowned reporter, didn't even want to inquiry about the moon, he just wanted to make a film in honor of Stanley Kubrik who just died one year ago.

 

They could lie about Irak but no they couldn't lie about the moon.

 

So questions:

Are the wife of Stanley Kubrik and General Walters trying to conspire against America by telling lies ?
It's true that both are old and have nothing more to lose. In fact General Walters is sure dead already ...

 

The guards at the asylum must be asleep or its "Computer Night."

Kubrick, Nixon and the Man in the Moon
(ARTE 2002)
Director: William Karel
********************************

I feel privileged to have been one of the few to have been able to view ‘Kubrick, Nixon und der Mann im Mond’ (‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ when it is released outside Old Europe), a remarkable documentary by the eminent filmmaker William Karel. A native of Israel, Karel has distinguished himself in Europe with documentaries about the Holocaust and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

However, ‘Kubrick, Nixon and the Man in the Moon’is a departure for Karel, as it combines rare footage from the earliest days of the space race with interviews made in 2000-2001 for this documentary, all peppered with humour and the lively interplay of its remarkable protagonists. (More on who they are in a moment.)

It chronicles the story of the lens used by Stanley Kubrick for ‘Barry Lyndon’ (1975) -- a film I consider to be one of the great masterpieces of world cinema -- a one-of-a kind piece of technical perfection that the narrator asserts NASA allowed Kubrick to borrow for the exquisite scenes filmed in total candlelight. A still from the film, showing Murray Melvin and Marisa Berenson in the extraordinary shading created by a candlelit shoot, illustrates the stunning effect of the Zeiss lens.

The story then relates the history of Kubrick and NASA. In 1969, beset by the Vietnam war and rising public fury over the conflict, President Richard Nixon was making preparations for the participation he would have in the television broadcasts associated with the flight of Apollo 11 and the moon landing. According to the narration, he even pre-recorded a tribute to the astronauts in the event of their deaths in space. What is astounding, however, is the story of the ‘back-up’ film alleged to have been made in anticipation of the failure of the cameras on the moon.

The present United States Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, who in 1969 was on Nixon’s staff and Dr Henry Kissinger tell the documentary’s interviewer that they advised President Nixon on matters of this weight. The narrator asserts that a decision was then made by Nixon to commission Stanley Kubrick to make the back-up film and that Rumsfeld and Kissinger flew to London that very night to talk it through with Kubrick.

Compelling footage of a young Rumsfeld and Nixon illustrate the story. Former Nixon advisers Lawrence Eagleburger, Alexander Haig, Kissinger and Richard Helms (former CIA Director) are interviewed and it is mooted that the film was indeed made at the President’s behest; Kubrick even reluctantly supervised the ‘CIA amateurs’ who put it together. The narrator even asserts that Rumsfeld and the other Presidential advisors assured him that he would never hear from the Nixon staff again.

The provision of the NASA lens for ‘Barry Lyndon’ was for all intents and purposes a gesture of thanks. The rest of the story, however, and the manner in which Karel extracts a narrative from Rumsfeld, the great master’s widow Christiane Kubrick, her brother Jan Harlan and the others (the late ex-CIA supreme Vernon Walters is a priceless gem) is even more astonishing.

Evidently Karel wanted to convey to the world the power governments can have over the public’s perception of a world-shattering event, even to the extent of ‘faking’ a moon landing to placate ‘the people.’ The film also emphasises what was perceived as a curious change in Kubrick’s demeanour in the years following the ’fake landing’ project: according to the script he became more and more reclusive and suffered an untimely death in 1999 from a sudden illness. It is common knowledge that he assiduously avoided travel to the United States and kept virtually exclusively to his British country home in the ensuing years.

I will stop there : telling the rest will spoil it for viewers. The film is superbly constructed and is a masterpiece of editing. Full marks must go to Tal Zana, the Editor.

At the very end a post- ’cast list’ caption appears : ‘No goy was mistreated during the filming of this documentary.’ Having lived in Israel and Old Europe, one hopes this brand of humour will be taken, to use Christiane Kubrick's words, 'in good fun' by North American audiences.

‘Kubrick, Nixon und der Mann im Mond’ has been packing them in across Old Europe where screenings have been held, and will soon be shown as ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ on UK television. A US release is not yet confirmed but considering the high profile of Donald Rumsfeld it should be a candidate for high ratings.

 

Hey nuts I have already answered that I made a mistake about his exact title but that I was sure that it was Donald Rumsfeld who was filmed but as usual you faint to focus on useless artefact instead of the core so I will quote the editor of Jewishcomment.com about the film :

http://www.jewishcomment.com/cgibin/news.cgi?id=14&command=shownews&newsid=473

"The present United States Defence Secretary, DONALD RUMSFELD, who in 1969 was on Nixon’s staff and Dr Henry Kissinger tell the documentary’s interviewer that they advised President Nixon on matters of this weight. The narrator asserts that a decision was then made by Nixon to commission Stanley Kubrick to make the back-up film and that Rumsfeld and Kissinger flew to London that very night to talk it through with Kubrick."
