About

Don't Believe His Lies is a multi-panel exploitable image series using screen captures of a scene from the 2000 psychological thriller film Memento in which a man writes the phrase “Don’t believe his lifes” on a Polaroid instant film.

Origin

Throughout the film Memento, originally released on March 16th, 2001, the protagonist Leonard Shelby (played by Guy Pearce) writes notes to himself in order to keep track of important information that he would otherwise forget due to the memory loss caused by anterograde amnesia. In one of the pivotal scenes, Shelby is seen writing “don’t believe his lies” on the backside of an instant film of a man named Teddy (played by Joe Pantoliano) after identifying him as a suspect of the man he is looking for.



On January 9th, 2012, Redditor SWozniak submitted a post titled "Don't believe his lies," featuring three screen captures of the Memento scene with video game designer Peter Molyneux photoshopped on to the Polaroid (shown below). Prior to being archived, the post gained over 1,400 votes (88% upvoted) on the /r/gaming[3] subreddit.

On March 10th, 2013, Redditor vesci posted a photoshopped version of the exploitable with a Sim City non-player character on the photo to the /r/SimCity[6] subreddit. Before the post was archived, it reached over 1,600 votes (91% upvoted) and 200 comments.

    You might also mention Meghan McCarthy, one of the lead writers on MLP:FiM who regularly lies on Twitter. "Don't believe her lies" has been associated with her for a while now.
