‘Se7en’: Watch Morgan Freeman’s “Unboxing” Video
People are obnoxious with their “unboxing” videos, where they record themselves opening something special in order to rub it in to everyone else’s faces (it’s a form of both gluttony and greed, if you ask me).
NonRandomNonSense took a jab at this cultural cancer with the following Se7en spoof video.
For those of you unacquainted with David Fincher’s 1995 masterpiece, it ends with Somerset (Morgan Freeman) opening a box delivered to his partner, Mills (Brad Pitt), whom watches for a distance. The reveal is that the package contains the head of Mills’ wife (Gwyneth Paltrow).
This absolutely hysterical short film reimagines the final scene from the perspective of Somerset’s cellphone.
