Phonographs in Movies...

In Kino no Tabi, (Kino's Journey —the Beautiful World), there is futuristic things but also stuff from the past, some of the androids in the anime & manga have 30's~ portable phonographs attached to them.

Missed this posting earlier. Which version do you mean, the early one or the fairly recent remake? I've seen both, and I agree with what I gather is the general consensus that the earlier one is preferable, not that the later one isn't good taken on its own terms. Definitely a unique series, thought-provoking and more than occasionally touching, and well worth watching in either version. A point in favor of the earlier incarnation is the art style, which is deliberately and distinctively retro. I don't remember any phonographs, although it's been long enough that my memories are fairly general.

Please see my post on the previous page. There was an Operaphone in the 1974 film.

Er, not talking about "The Great Gatsby." Talking about the anime series Kino no Tabi, (Kino's Journey —the Beautiful World).
