Talk:Stanley Kubrick

No, I don't believe that Kubrick faked the moon landings, but if you can't see that the carpet Danny plays on with his toy truck perfectly depicts the Apollo launch pad, you're just an asshole contrarian. Kubrick spent eons working on the most subtle visual details in his films. Every single frame has a deeper meaning and is clearly informed by the director. Call it art or an inside joke, but it is not a coincidence that Danny played with a perfect model of the launch pad before standing up to "launch" his Apollo 11 sweater. That was fully intended by Kubrick.^{— Unsigned, by: 162.156.9.246 / talk / contribs} 05:42, 20 November 2014‎ (UTC)

Harlan

While the article mentions Kubrick's brother-in-law Jan Harlan, it makes no mention of his father-law-law Veit Harlan § Family, director of the notorious Nazi propaganda film Jud Süß, commissioned by Josef Goebbels and the Nazi Propaganda film department. Dutchbag (talk)

Kubrick's wife was actually Veit Harlan's niece, not his daughter, so it's rather tangential. Bongolian (talk) 20:06, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not certain that is correct; in the documentary, Harlan - In the Shadow of "Jew Süss" [1] I was under the impression Kubrick married Harlan's daughter; I'll have to review. Dutchbag (talk) 20:56, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

The Haaretz interview with Christiane (Harlan) Kubrick that Wikipedia cites seems clear about the family connections.[2] Bongolian (talk) 21:12, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

That's correct. The film labels Christiane as her niece; [3] my error. Dutchbag (talk) 21:47, 15 November 2021 (UTC) Wait a minute, it's "neé Harlan", my error again. Dutchbag (talk) 21:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
