Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
They did fake the moon landing. Problem is Kubrick is such a stickler for detail that he insisted they shoot on location.
If Barry Lyndon was any indication, he would have def gotten the natural light spot on.
Kind of a boring movie, but goddamn is it gorgeous.
And do you know how he managed to make every frame in that film look like a period painting..? A very particular and expensive lens NASA gave him.
(Of course, though, while the man despised filming on location, he required massive amounts of reference pictures to build his sets, so even though the official moon landing was fake, NASA still had to get some astronauts there first to take those pictures for him.)
