Title: Time Traveller in Charlie Chaplin Movie ?
Post by: Brainiac on October 31, 2010, 06:25:42 pm: A few days ago a movie director discovered something interesting in one of Charlie Chaplin's films. More precisly an old lady who seems like she's talking at a mobile phone ....
Whats strange in this ? Well the movie is from 1923 ... and in that year ofc mobile phone was a SF thing.
A few sayed that she was just holding something at her ear.... but the image was zoomed and you can acctually see her lips move ... so she's talking at that device more or so......

Here's a video with the guy who discovered the scene :

What she is using is an ear trumpet, for people who have trouble hearing.

But with who is she talking ? There's no one near her, and you can cleary see her lips move, saying something .... :\

Post by: Jubin on November 01, 2010, 03:31:02 pm: Maybe she is talking to herself. For example, if you need to remember something it is better to speak out loud to yourself rather than just thinking it in your head over and over again.
Far more plausible than any time traveler theory as time traveling purely logically is impossible.

Post by: cumbia_chorra on November 01, 2010, 08:24:51 pm: Ronnel may be true, as you can see she IS talking to someone or to herself. But on the other hand, how big is the ear trumpet? What she is holding looks something similar to the size of a cellphone(not saying it is one).

Post by: CaptainCrazy on November 01, 2010, 08:43:24 pm: After watching the movie a second time, I changed my mind. I mean, she's moving her hand a little, like she's scratching herself above the ear as she might be mumbling something to herself meantime?

If not this one, it is likely to be a Sony Ericsson W580 without a doubt. ;)

Post by: EliteTerm on November 01, 2010, 10:43:29 pm: Nah.. looks like a Droid.

New slogan: Droid does Time Travel

Gandalf does have a point on hearing aids, maybe she walked out of a clinic testing it herself by talking?

Post by: Webster on November 01, 2010, 10:52:19 pm: I do not think she is holding anything, at the end, before the clip ended, she like opened her hand a bit and I saw that there was nothing there, she was like, holding the hat or something and mumbling about something, or she was probably talking to the man infront of her.
