It is clear that most audiences missed the underlying/hidden themes.

It is funny that so many people love the Shining-- for being a scary horror film of Stephen King/Stanley Kubrick.
Kubrick doctored this film so much from King's original version, that King hated it! It is also shown painstakingly that Kubrick is making this into his own Frankenstein production through the scenes and clues he leaves in the film(the red beetle being crushed and replaced by a yellow car, etc.)
After watching a lot of other documentaries about how this ties in with the moon landing and historical events and commentary, I believe most people missed the point of the film.
It is beloved as one of the greatest horror films of all time, but it comes across on that level as silly and humorous to me. I don't think Kubrick was trying to do a horror adaptation at all. I think he was trying to scare you on another level about what was really going on with the fake crap people believe on their movie/TV/media screens and outlets.
There are too many things to list, but research all the clues he leaves in dozens of scenes about the Apollo mission and about fake media.
