Did Stanley Kubrick Film The Original Moon Landing?

This story has been around for a while, but in this video his wife seems to confirm his working for the government on this issue.  Others have believed he used symbols in "The Shining" to hint that the Apollo landing footage was pre-taped.  (See video below)  It leaves us with two possible conclusions.  One, that the U.S. did not go to the moon.  (I'm not buying this one.)  Two, that the U.S. went to the moon, but didn't want the world to see what they did, so they prepared doctored footage to show a generic, happy, easy and uneventful landing.  This explains why the footage shown to the world in 1969 was fed through a movie camera system, and we were shown on tv shots of movie cameras, not direct shots of what was happening on the moon. 

Now, did this have some relation to Kubrick's reclusiveness and death?  That's for another article to discuss.
