One of my comments about time travel is: "If time travel will ever be possible, it has already BEEN possible"! 😆

[@ronreagan3969]

It's already been done.

[@ambergriffin91]

Prove it

[@MikserZT]

Time travel to the past*

[@vikinghawk3358]

Fascinating way to look at it . Never saw anyone say it that way . If mankind lives another million years what are the chances a persons lifetime would have a travelers visit ? Major events could prompt a visit only if they would consider it a major event .

[@Dan_Ben_Michael]

Time travel is my favourite genre of science fiction. I can’t get enough of time travel films.

[@Souldoubtrocks]

Loved it. Wasn’t there an old twilight zone where a guy had a stopwatch and he could stop time whenever he wanted. He could still go about his life but he hated working and people etc. so he took a long vacation and when he finally started the watch again the people around had no idea anything was amiss other than he aged 40 years or however long he checked out. Time still moved but only for him.

[@carltice544]

Yep - and then he dropped it....

[@magusxxx]

@@racetime1960 "Paladin of the Last Hour", but the previous description doesn't match this episode.

[@Nanzilla]

Time enough at last was the episode you're talking about.

[@sydneyperry8703]

I love the twilight zone. There were actually quiet a lot of “time travel” episodes. I keep looking but can’t find the episode name of the one you described.

[@sydneyperry8703]

@@Nanzilla that episode was about a librarian who loves to read but doesn’t enjoy being around people. He survived basically an apocalypse/nuke only to be surrounded by books, but at the very end he breaks his glasses making it so he can’t even read

[@AcapulKero]

I remember the series "Dark" here, hehehe. Ufff, I love these kind of timetravelling movies!

[@captainmidnite93]

'Rilling deluxe' was a hair perm machine from the 1930's! lol

[@marellori]

Always love time traveler film. Even if the plot twist was so predictable 😅

[@lightcapmath2777]

I saw this before, before knowing how to "like" it...this short worked well for me... dvd:)

[@jamessr79]

Very nicely done.

[@czlowiekzhuty]

I will love it as series in TV. It could be stylized on noir drama in 60's.

[@EstebanBarreiro]

great film, music made an awesome work!

[@scetchport]

I want, some of what you are on, to invent this short ! Complex and deep. Great work !

[@MikePuorro]

Sad to see dwindling numbers viewing these videos. Dust deserves more viewers.

[@Kneon_Knight]

Bravo.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

⏳💀⌛

[@ughinotogni4580]

Loved it congratulations. Everything was perfect.

[@ariellevin3008]

One of the best! Brilliantly shot, movingly exciting and suspense...OMG very good. I want more of this quality! Loved the simple concept of Time Manipulation. No date of year on the newspaper, not dating of scene. Just brilliant! And no dialog!!!!! simply and pure.

[@jimpatterson5524]

Also, as usual, there is a small group of people claiming to know the end right off. Sometimes, as if that were true, i wonder why they bother to watch these things.

[@charlesmiller1446]

Compelling from start to finish. More like this please !?

[@Johnteasailo]

Go dust

[@sinan2.71]

Very engaging!

[@solarcookingTravel]

It was ok but probably could have been about 15 mins shorter.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

Are you saying it was... a waste of time? 🤓

[@andersonavila7189]

[@okancanarslan3730]

İnteresting movie

[@the-patient-987]

Not bad but very predictible.

[@aaaahhhhd6953]

😂😂👍👍👍👍👑👑

[@jimmyolsenblues]

i want those 21 minutes back.

[@osmia]

CC please

[@starlord]

The film has no spoken dialogue, which is why I guess they blocked captioning, though may be nice for those who can't hear the audible cues along with viewing the visuals.

[@BeautyOfGaia]

Can I borrow the watch? i need to clarify one little thing in my past.

[@jimpatterson5524]

I am sure everyone noticed that this video was copyrighted in 2011.

[@Shopweasel]

To scared to watch it all.m8ght be a carma trap.🧐🏴‍☠️⚔️🙉good show tho...in a way.. unusual ill say.cia

[@Apti-Erhan]

do i see a " butter fly" effect here or i am wrong?

[@andrewhomeuser]

Terry Gilliam ???

[@donm5354]

My first thought upon finding a watch like this would be how make a cool BILLION DOLLARS by winning the last 9 figure POWERBALL or MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT ... then shorting the hell out of SILICON VALLEY BANK in December 2022 just for some extra spending money.

[@Tj-50mag]

I knew instantly who got hit over the head, I just don't see why he couldn't.

[@ayanbrahmachary113]

I think this movie is republished. I have seen this before.

[@dustywayfarer]

Same with many other films with Flashback Friday in the title.

[@sabrod92]

That's the point. It's like throwback Thursday. When you bring up something you've posted in the past. Or show something old to people who haven't seen it yet

[@0neIntangible]

Yes Ayan, I agree with you, and yes it was fun to see it again... I got a bigger laugh and more out of this this second time around, kind of anticipating the next scene set up and watch it play through, telling the story, without a need for any word spoken... totally enjoyed.

[@m118lr]

Wasn’t THAT interesting to me..sorry.

[@MARCELOAMIR]

No entendí

[@אילןאור-ח4מ]

goes

[@ubbe12ande]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@waardlafrance110]

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Obviously most commenters are film students. This short was bad. No exposition, nothing explained to give the viewer a reason to care, just confusion. The actor reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite in a silent film. 🥱
