'Time Traveler' spied in 1928 Chaplin film?

[Matthitjah]

Yeah, I was going to suggest that you come with me on a Homeless Outreach and you will see alot of folks dressed just like that doing the same thing.

For some odd reason that video reminded me of the Star Trek episode where Kirk goes back in time with Spock and falls in love with Joan Collins who is a social worker. Spock creates some rudimentary furture viewing device and they find out that she's about to die in a horrible accident where a car smashes her guts out all over the broadway. Then Kirk has to decide whether to alter the future irreversably or to let the only woman he's ever loved, besides the Enterprise, die.

I think she has an earache or something and is cursing under her breath because it hurts! OR.....she's just holding her hand like she has a phone (they DID have telephones in 1928) and talking to the 'voices'. I don't believe she's from another era....she couldn't use a cell phone without a cell tower to 'ping' the signal off.

Well, if it was a time traveler, the device would probably be to communicate with the time machine or being sent back to the future.

I can't be the only one who noticed that. I watched that video once and saw it, he's watched it many times and is still convinced she's talking into some device.

Write him......see what he says.

It's your observation, not mine. I'd be a horrible relayer.

Looks to me like it might be a bit chilly and she's holding her gloves up to her ear to protect it from the cool breeze. Then she stops and yells at her husband in front of her to stop because they are on film.

If they are filming for a movie, you would think a time traveller would have enough sense to avoid the location where cameras and movie type people would be abundant.

"Herb! Stop! Lookey here thar's a camera!"

Most of the naysayers hang their arguments on the fact that there were no phone towers or satellites in 1928, but they are quickly shot down by the believers who say those who possess time travel tech surely could circumvent this.

They would also most likely have devices that would not be anachronistic for the time period. Like they would be invisible devices.

Thick ankles is easily explained too, although I didnt think her ankles were thick. Not everyone is anorexic thin. Especially back then when the fashion was for more padded women. Certain heart conditions lead to swelling of the ankles. The shoes seem to be too long for her. Dunno why. Maybe she couldnt afford better shoes? Maybe hand me downs?

Might she have been shielding her face from the camera? Some folks do, and certainly she had to have known the camera was there. And then she only turned around when she thought she was past it.

well if he/she is from the future then phones are suddenly going to get MUCH bigger again .... maybe I wont lose mine so often then

simple explanation: Dr. WHO just updated his time traveling phone booth for a smaller cellular time travel phone.
