No "proof" of anything here.

Different scenes. In the beginning, while reminiscing, he says "was."

Other scenes, "is" is said.

No timeline shifting or reality manipulation at play.

They are not 2 different scenes. I am not sure what else could be called proof. Someone provides proof only to be told there is there is no proof here?

In the first clip from the video, he is speaking to an elderly white lady, reminiscing, and says "was."

Later it is his mother speaking, then he is talking to a younger black lady, both times "is" is said.

How are these not different scenes?

DUH, because it would mean someone would have to admit they are wrong, and their memory is fallible. See, that is too simple an explanation. It MUST be that the fabric of space-time itself have morphed around these special people and changed these innocuous things in an effort to challenge them to figure it out.

That "Depend" "Depends" diapers thing really has me going hmmmmmm..

It depends on whether I was really on that party boat in 2000

To put it in terms.

His mother does say "life IS like a box of chocolates." This is her stating it.

But his mother dies. And he is telling the story. "Mom always SAID,(not says) life WAS, like a box.. "past tense. Because she died.

The times I gave were for the same scene and he is talking to a black woman in a skirt, sweater and white shoes.

This one has nothing to do with my memory. It is the same scene, 2 different words.

It's only proof to those of us who experienced the alternate way, but yeah, for us it's mind blowing! The alternate version of the scene at the end of the video is exactly the version I always saw in the film when it was shown on TV, which I saw on numerous occasions because I love this film. The only way this is not a Mandela Effect is if the televised version aired the alternate version of the scene for some reason.

I remember IS,but I can admit maybe I didn't hear the W.

Couldn't stand to watch whole video, too much babbling that DO make people believing in this look like idiots. Even though I'm an idiot agreeing things have been changed.

I can't get into this timeline CERN theory. An equally stupid theory would be to suggest rather than anything has changed, we have had our memories altered. Maybe the chemical laced foods we eat these days are doing it to our brains?


Herbal Essence shampoo was never herbal essences!

TV versions are often altered.like in the movie what about Bob?
Bob is telling a joke to the nurses and the punchline is " I'm a scitzophrenic and so am I" or something like that. People were outraged skitzophrenia was being misdiagnosed as meaning multiple personalities, so they changed the punchline.

You are aware than when shooting a movie they will do multiple takes of the same scene right?

Oops! I see I've remembered two versions in this thread. I first said I remember IS, but then I saw what you posted and remembered it that way. Now I'm confused and I don't really know. Only watched that movie once.

They most certaintly are different scenes. The scenes on the bench are clearly shot from different angles. The first time in that video the shot is made head on facing the bench. The second Version is shot from a side angle and so they are 2 different recordings. Then there is the scene with his mother which is a memory where the mother herself says "is a box" which explains why 2 scenes were shot on the bench. One in which forest recalls the phrase in the past tense and on in the current.

Other then that the phrase "Life is like a box of chocolates.." is the version that gained fame (A meme of the 90's) which is why that is in your head anytime you think about it through out the years and because of that even after seeing the scene again at a later date with "was a box of chocolate..." right after seeing that you would most certaintly phrase it as you remember it best if you were to repeat it or remember it picking the one you most favor.

Like the "luke , i am your father.." thing. It has never been that. People made it that because it made the reference easier to recognize once they mentioned it and over time people mistakenly start thinking that was the actual phrase. But again. In case of forrest gump the scene clearly was shot twice , 2 versions with 2 different angles and 1 scene with the mother herself saying "Is a box.." in her own present time.


EDIT: To be lcear, the scene i mentioned with the different angles is the scene with the same black nurse. It is the same scene shot twice for whichever reasons the production had for it with different angles and one with "is" and one with "was" which again makes sense since they could decide to go with both . one because he is recalling it and the other because you cant go wrong with that either. The different angle for the second version could have been chosen to more easily identify the second one withouth have to view it each time to make sure on it is the one they eventualy chose for the theatrical version.
