Another case of "if it looks like something we know, it surely must be that". Finding patterns is the number one purpose of the brain, interpreting them is a different matter; then we have to use knowledge, experience and imagination (within certain limits ).

Re: Chaplin’s time traveller
This was discussed on the radio here last night. One of the participants claimed that it was a hoax, and that the fragment shown in the YouTube clip was created by the Belfast film maker, not by Charley Chaplin. I can't verify that, I don't have that DVD box.
Anyway, even if time travel existed, talking on a mobile phone would be useless - there was no infrastructure for it in 1929...

Re: Chaplin’s time traveller
It probably is genuine you know. Most likely organised by our Australian Telco, who, as you can see, is keeping up with communications technology, it is therefore quit likely to have had the infrastructure in place at the time in question....
