...Lucky Man. Directed by Lindsay Anderson, and starring Malcolm McDowell who is credited with coming up with the gem idea for this movie. Bet he got it making Clockwork Orange. Anderson, who claims he hasn't seen a movie in five years, certainly would never know the difference. And his movie barely acknowledges one.

The universe, the scientists claimed, was simply smoothly functioning clockwork; each action within it had a cause. Chop the actions into small enough slivers, reduce them to their "simplest" forms, and science would identify all their causes. It was a highly mechanistic view, and it became more fully entrenched with each new breakthrough by the new science and its offspring-technology...
