Oh I hate that. I just re-watched the short The Screw (La Vis, 1995) and, once more, it ended differently from what I remembered. I say once more, because I think I had already been surprised by that once. Or maybe I misremember having already misremembered it.
The plasticity of our memories freak me out (that, or the fact that our consciousness keeps pinballing through parallel universes, but more probably the former, although it can be two things of course). I for one don't think I ever "remembered" seeing the baby in Rosemary's Baby (which allegedly many people do - but maybe I forgot falsely remembering it), but I know that I've occasionally looked forward to a movie scene that played better in my -very wrong and very precise- memory. Better pace, framing or sometimes even lines.
Do you have examples of this happening to you ?
