Time Traveler Caught On Film

Have you heard about the time traveler caught on film? If you thought the iPhone was ahead of its time, then check out this apparent cell phone user in 1928. In the time traveler caught on film video below, you can see a devoted Charlie Chaplin fan pointing out a bizarre occurrence in the 1928 Chaplin film, The Circus — a woman that looks to be using a cell phone.

Filmmaker George Clarke made the YouTube video to show the time traveler in Charlie Chaplin’s film – a woman walks by and appears to be talking on a cell phone, or some black device that she has held to her head with her fingers curled around it. Time Traveler Caught On Film

What does time travel look like? In 1985 sci-fi comedy Back to the Future, it barely looked like anything at all. The filmmakers’ basic concept, as revealed in this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray collection, was to make the temporal jump immediate and understated.

“[Director Robert Zemeckis] and I quickly came to the conclusion, ‘You know what? It’s not about the visual effects,’” says Back to the Future producer Bob Gale in the video. “It’s not about how long does it take them to travel through time. Because traveling through time should be instantaneous.” Time Traveler Caught On Film
