A documentary about another great Kubrick film, Clockwork Orange. Kubrick settled in the UK and self censored the film when it became controversial enough that he was worried he would be forced to leave.

Richard Dawkins’ follow up series to the Root of Evil, tackles superstition in general, instead of organized religion. The series is currently being aired on TV in the UK, here is the first part.
Unfortunately one of the more dramatic scenes from the film, where a psychic is shown to be an out and out fraud, had to be cut for legal reasons. This film is more cheery than ‘the Root of Evil, and you almost feel sorry for some of those interviewed. But Dawkins does well to avoid the temptation of trying to justify science in terms of fashionable new age crap, to win friends. The result is ultimately less patronizing to those who are clearly deluded.
Thanks James.

I had mixed feelings about posting this link, on the one hand I found the documentary compulsive viewing, but I wasn’t sure whether it was exploitative. Ultimately, the piece survives on its own merit as it does inform and treats the half ton man as a human being.

Many people see Newton’s religiosity as an endorsement of the divine by a powerful intellect. Another view: he though so hard that he cracked and became a delusional fairly chasing nut-case.
