Yeah I know it's an hour and a half long, and I know most of you won't watch the whole thing. I did, and it was very interesting. But the first 20 mins or so have THE best examples I've ever seen on the subject. I'm legitimately a little bit freaked out right now. I've always thought it was fun to think about and was probably due to the way memory works. But this video goes deeper into well known examples than I've seen before. Like the one classic one in Star Wars. Everybody remembers it as "Luke I am your father." And now it's "No, I'm your father." Well whoever put this vid together actually found 2 old interviews with James Earl Jones where he talks about that line, and even says the line in Vader voice, and he says it as "Luke I am your father." The guy who read the script and said the iconic line, remembers it the same way most of us do. But apparently in this reality it was never that way.
Another one I hadn't heard of, is about C3PO's leg being silver. Just one leg, silver colored. They have pics and even toys of him like that, and I don't remember him ever being that way originally.
At the very end of the video, a guy talks about the line in Forrest Gump being "mama always said life is like a box of chocolates" being changed to the way it is today, which is "mama always said life WAS like a box of chocolates." I remembered it being "is" like most people do, but I never had a big problem with that one, because Forrest is talking in the past tense when he says the line. Anyway, this guy actually found some behind the scenes footage where Forrest says it the right, original way. That footage still exists. Just apparently in THIS reality, it wasn't the edit that made it into the movie.
Anyway, I think the Mandela Effect is interesting and fun to think about. But like I said, this video has honestly creeped me out some, and now I'm not so sure it's just our memory playing tricks on us. Time travel? CERN? Another dimension? If the Mandela thing IS real (not absolutely saying it is but for the sake of argument), then something has definitely happened and it's changed everything.
