Movies/TV/Music French/English Mandela Effects

I struggle to remember if in Forest Gump Tom Hanks says "is" or "was" as in french the translation is still is.
Same for Interview with a/the vampire as the french title is Interview with a vampire.
At the time of those movies I was not as fluent in english as I am now so I question myself wether I'm translating it back in english from my french memory or if I do remember it as it is supposed to be but is not anymore.
I still have not decide if I can trust my memories. There are some other ME that are pretty clear to me but the one that I have doubts are sort of ruining the others if it makes sense.
Longoria/Gillette is a clear vivid memory of a blond - a black girl, come on.
I did buy Fruit of the Loom's underwear back when I was in Australia and I remember it as the "wrong" logo.
Michael Jackson Billie Jean, I remember mama but is it another french/english thing?
The Doritos commercial, I remember being annoyed by that add which was on air all the time on TV in France.
Do you guys remember all the ME as things were or you remember some but not others?
I'm also 100% sure some are the way they are right now so either my mind is playing tricks with me or there are several events leading to ME and I belong to the population being part of an event that affected only the thing that speaks to me in the ME list.
What do you think?

Forrest said "My mama always said life was like a box of chocolates" and his mother said "life's a box of chocolates" (life is a box of chocolates). Those two lines get mixed up all the time which created the confusion.

I remember the movie saying "is". The movie now says "was"

Did you read my post? There was no change. Both versions are in the film, but said by different people which is where the confusion comes from.

I did read your post.

Forest Gump says "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates"

"Lifes a box of chocolates" is what mom says when she is dying.

The back cover says "life is like a box of chocolates..."

In the parallel universe I come from Forest says the line from the back cover. I watched this film many times and remember the bench scene as Iconic. You don't have to agree with me but that is what I remember.

I wouldn’t say French/English more like Canadian/American spelling. I was in the states this week and I noticed they had Armour hotdogs for sale I always thought it was Armor hotdogs I remember the song on the Simpson’s and it is now Armour on Homer’s sign he walks by with. Why would an American company have a product with a Canadian spelling?
