If Kirstin Dunst's new short film has anything to say, it's that being a celebrity—or, really, a person—in 2014 is an awkward experience in techno-objectification. Our gadget-fondling society grows more disconnected as people hide behind, communicate through, and talk about smartphones. Meanwhile, celebs catch the worst of it.
To give us a glimpse of the strange world she lives in, Dunst got together with director Matthew Frost and Vs. Magazine for this tongue-in-cheek look at the farcicality of celebrity in the selfie generation.
If smartphones continue robbing us of social savvy at this rate, our children's children will have lost the ability to speak entirely. Their vocal cords, shriveled, dried mangos of unused human anatomy, will never know the joys of conversation.
Technology robs everyone of normalcy gradually, but it's been hijacking it from celebrities since some paparazzo godfather popped a flashbulb in Charlie Chaplin's face when he was minding his damn business 80-some years ago. (He shops for pickles just like us!)
