You Decide:Time Traveler?
Prior to today, I'd never given the theory of time travel much consideration. Sure I had heard of it, but only in science fiction type movies. While having lunch with two friends today, one mentioned a story she had read earlier today regarding an Irish filmmaker who believes he has spotted a time traveler in a vintage Charlie Chaplin film...from 1928.
The filmmaker, George Clarke, posted the clip from the 1928 film, "The Circus" which shows a very manly looking woman talking on a cell phone. Cells phones didn't hit the market until the early 1980's, so how could he/she be chatting on one in 1928? Perplexed by the appearance of the modern device in the very dated film, George Clarke took his discovery a step further, suggesting in a YouTube video that the cell phone-toting futurist is a "time traveler."
I've watched the video several times, and while it is a bit long, it's definitely worth pondering. Theories are rampant, saying she's talking to herself, or perhaps she's clutching her hearing aid in an effort to hear better? In my opinion, she (actually I think it's a he) looks like he's talking on a phone. What do you think?
Enjoy!
