Spielberg And The Oasis

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2019)

I think Spielberg was making a tribute to Stanley Kubrick. There are many scenes, referenced as pop culture, that are right out of Kubrick's The Shinning. If you haven't seen this movie, please do. It's on Netflix! Even when they show a quarter in the beginning of the movie, it's dated 1972. A reference to the Apollo program lunar landings from 1969 - 1972. What does this have to do with Stanley Kubrick? It's a good question, but the answer may never be told. You can easily search the internet, or YouTube to find out. Another possibility for IOI is a reference to Jupiter's moon IO. Not sure on that one. I did not read the book, but the same author, Earnest Cline, wrote the Screenplay for RPO. It may be more proof how it strays from the book to add hidden references to Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999). James Halliday even looks like him.
