Is this a time-traveller in a Charlie Chaplin film?

Perhaps she really is a time-traveller, sent back through the decades to make a jaw-dropping cameo appearance. Or maybe she was a maverick genius, secretly testing out advanced technology for the government and caught on camera at the wrong moment.

When I saw your post, I went back in time a few hours and put in a post, just to make sure that your post is time-paradoxed. It’s true!!!

En zo, why would you EDIT OUT a child ~ well, this is Hollywood and there's a thing called "The Stuntman's Association. It's better than a union. If a stuntman appears in a stunt EVER then you have to pay him, even if the copyright has run out ~ they hire people to WATCH TV and GO TO MOVIES and RENT VIDEOS just to look for "stunt men".

So what you have is a child in a film, and the child grows up and joins the Stuntman's Association.

Obviously this was a "stunt" and not a dramatic part of the movie, so BINGO, every time that film is sold, or shown, the stuntman (the kid now grown up and beneficiary of the rules) gets paid.

I think it was something like $500 per showing.

So let's say you do an action film and the stuntmen do all the wet work ~ how do you advertise your movie with part of the action? Well, you reshoot it with people who are NOT stuntmen but instead actors, and make sure their actor's union dues are paid up lest even they sign up for the Stuntman's Association.

I think the ‘cell phone’ can be explained in any number of ways. What I find amazing is that they where able to get John D. Rockefeller to do a cameo walking by before the woman. Check out ht e video at the link. The similarity is uncanny.

Why would one need the Siemens hearing aid while walking on the sidewalk?


In her case, so she can hear people talking about how she is very round and has large feet.

‘They’ do realize that this is a movie and not just random people walking along in front of the camera. Which would have been one of those big crankers. It’s not like they had street cameras.
I still maintain that he/she is holding the lapel of her coat up over her face. Maybe they got a guy dressed like a woman to walk through and didn’t want it to be obvious.

All this pulaver and they wonder how we ended up with Obama as President when people will believe they see a cell phone talking time traveler in a Chaplin movie. Oy.

Maybe she’s calling a friend as a reminder to watch President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s upcoming address on national television—the one Joe Biden described a few months ago.

The funny thing is that most of the comments on the site are more concerned with the fact that there wouldn’t be a functioning cell tower then they are with the idea that this person is a time traveller! I say when we get time travel down, we just might have developed a better mobile phone system, ya think?

That’s right, technology exists in all times. It is not subject to the flow of time. Once created, like the universe it just is.

Charlie Chapman was a genius. He could easily have thought of having someone pass through the scene with just a telephone handset.

“someone on Fark.com posted a long explanation of this.She is using a hearing aid and speaking to a small child who appears in the original shot but has been edited out of later versions.”

Bingo. This guy just got world wide attention to his films and film festival. Marketing genius.

I remember reading a study that suggests that people who are lying can sometimes be detected by looking closely at mannerisms. The lying person's face is dead pan, while he or she will be fidgeting. This guy awkwardly scratches his head when he begins the story. He is lying.
