DOLLYS BRACES ? THE MANDELA EFFECT !

 

DOLLYS BRACES ? 
THE MANDELA EFFECT !


There seems to be a major confusion over whether Blanche Ravalec's character Dolly actually ever wore braces in the original cinematic version of Moonraker or not. 

Yet no evidence of this exists, not on video or Dvd releases. Nevertheless, there are some out there in the internet world, who still remember the theatrical release, who insist that this was the case, despite Blanche Ravalec stating that she never did. 

Regardless of this, forums have cropped up all over the internet in the last few years with numerous individuals concurring that Dolly did in fact have Braces. 

And if you think about it, the scene where they first meet would certainly made more sense (and would have had tons more impact) if she did have braces: and playing back the scene in my own mind where they first meet, Jaws smiles first, revealing those glinting metal chops, then she smiles back with glinting braces but wait ! They're gone! WTF? Could this be the Mandela Effect?

The Mandela effect is supposed to be us remembering traces of alternate time lines, such as certain historical facts being altered (the idea that Nelson Mandela died in prison instead of becoming president) or famous logos like the VW sign that differ today to how we remember them, the changes are usually subtle but enough to make you stop and wonder...
Of course there could be
another reason: 

CENSORSHIP
That's right. Moonraker made tons of money for all concerned and in an age of ever growing paranoia stemming from terrorism and heavily funded witch-hunts over pedophilia, we've seen em bringing down the likes of Jimmy Saville,  Rolf Harris and various top brass at the BBC. 

So its a no brainier that the scene with Dolly and Jaws can only be twisted out of all context, into something conveniently suitable for yet another lawsuit.  

Just look at what happened to Micheal Jackson, yes he was a weirdo but there was not a shred of proof he fiddled those kids and yet he was bled dry in lawsuits.

And when it comes to a very large male hooking up with a very small young girl in pigtails and braces, this is all way too much for today's molly-coddled nanny state, ever too weary to punch the lawsuit button at any given opportunity. 

So it is quite possible that, at some point in the last few years, nervous executives trying to save the dwindling popularity of this movie, most likely had these scenes with Dolly digitally 'altered' for VHS, DVD releases, and later with Blu Ray. 

So roll on 1984. If anything the idea that our history is being erased is not far from the truth, but it is more to do with avoiding (and creating) law suites on a infinite monopoly board, set up by the rich to govern the poor.
