The Premature Arrival of the Future (Future Shock!)

Holy Crap! There's a Future Shock Movie! And its on YouTube! I can't handle it!

It also has a really freaky opening sequence and synthesizer-score clearly meant to demonstrate to 1972 audiences how disorienting modern film and musical styles could be to those who had previously only seen films made in the ancient, pre-1971 past.

In all seriousness, Future Shock is an important idea, as proven by the fact that Orson Welles himself is the host and narrator of this film (I see Future Shock-ism as the next decade's Scientology).




You can see the rest over at Smashing Telly.
