Title: Time traveler in Chaplin movie?
Post by: PanosGR on October 22, 2010, 12:56:53 PM
Possible time traveler or even humanoid alien spotted in one of Charlie Chaplin films the Circus. The scene it is not actually form the film but one of the extras –but the fact is that this human like figure seems to talk to some kind of device. Debug this please.

Love the Idiotic comments like "There were no phone masts" No way it could be a cell phone, IF it was a time traveller they wouldnt exactly need one. You wouldnt have a hearing aid to your ear in a noisy environment like that anyhow. Definately seems he or she is talking into a small box. Got me stumped that one.

A person is holding something to their ear and talking, that's it.

TA DA!

People see what they want to see.

A drag queen on a cell phone in 1920s Hollywood. What's so odd about that?

I wonder how people would react to this if someone hadn't already implied it was a cell phone.

I'm surprised that there are people who actually believe this carp.
Seriously, a tinfoil hat wouldn't be anywhere near sufficient coverage for people whose lamps are that dim.

"Its not an AM/FM radio 'cause obviously it's 1928."  So it automatically has to be a cell phone because its 1928.


Honestly I don't see anything in the hand. Maybe she was just holding her hand up to her ear.

I dont see her talking, only opening her mouth halfway a few times, the lips did not move that i could see.


Seems the old lady had toothache and probably was holding a rag of some sort to her jaw.

also, the last frame when she turns to camera...look at her fingers. They arent holding a rectangular device, the fingers seem to be grasping something round shaped

Lessee..

Director: " I need another person walking in this scene.. find me a woman.. portly.."

Asst. Director:  "All our extras are men.. with long sideburns!"

Director:  "Well, dress them up and tell them to cover their sideburn with their hand"

Asst. Director:  "How do you want them to cross?"

Director:  "It's a silent movie, just talk to them while they're moving.. nobody'll hear it!"

....

Actor:  "You want me to stop here?"

...

and so on..

K I'll believe she travel back in time and since she's talking on the phone, then there were two people who went back. But I wonder where they put the big cell tower needed for the cell phone?

If that was a time traveler talking into some sort of cell phone, he/she is certainly not being very inconspicuous about it. I always thought there was some sort of unwritten code among time travelers to be as discreet as possible and blend in with the era. You'd think people in 1928 would have noticed a large, manly woman on the street jabbering away into a black rectangle and called (from a phone booth  :old:) for the local paddy wagon service.

Its Somethink that no more exist cause no one Make it anymore on this Planet its a Hat collar.
We think its a Phone cause we See this hand position every day on the Streets I called them Radicontroled Humans.
She ore He Holds a collar that you have to pull out of the hat its for Windy days
Why did he ore she that? Chaplin saved Money and nerves by using always a small numbers of Comparse in many scene same Comparse crossing the Camera sometimes with hat sometimes without so we think many people walk around
