Free Will And The Choices We Make

Well for the past few weeks, I've on and off been working on a philosophy paper regarding the coexistence of free will and deterministic theories. Today I finally handed it in, rather unimpressed with the words I was able to put on paper, but happy just to have it out of my life. While typically with a research paper I would try and defend a viewpoint and draw conclusions I found myself left with more questions and doubts then when I had originally started. Below is a clip from Waking Life discussing a portion of the research I had spent doing through the semester and although the speaker doesn't necessarily take a side, he brings about some points that may be verbalized better than I could manage to do. Either way, after spending so much time thinking about how free our choices truly are I'd like to just ask you all to take your own viewpoint on such a topic. Are all of our actions predetermined, are we just players acting out scenes from a script we haven't read? Where does our individuality fit in with all of this? Does scientific law govern our daily lives, if not where do they free decisions arise from? I'd be interested in knowing all of your opinions on such a matter just to get a better understanding for a question that seems rather unanswerable.
