The Afflicted
United States of America 2006
15:58
Keywords: Machinima
Genre(s): Drama - Science Fiction Language: English
This scifi-drama explores a future world in which strong emotions have been genetically eradicated, and humans have become efficient information processors.
This is not a typical science fiction you would see on TMO, as this movie takes its genre merely as a device to explore the counterfactual.
The movie follows the scholar Terbing as he introduces us to his research, and interviews one of the subjects of his studies, Palia. Palia is afflicted by a disease: human emotion.
Loosely based on an original unfinished short story by Kate Lee
The poem excerpt read by Terbing to Treen in the library scene is from "She Walks in Beauty" by George Gordon, Lord Byron. The background music for that part is Chopin's waltz opus 34.

Released in February 2006, before the game expansion pack, this movie has received wide acclaim within the "The Movies Online" community, hailed as being one of the most thought-provoking films made with "The Movies" that had appeared.
