dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Is this the Chinese anthem? I think so. They're gonna put up their flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I liked that children/flag segment -- until the goosesteps of the soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 So far it's very boring. No action at all, just random acts from here and there.... Far from it, it's just the beginning . Maybe you just think no other host city can beat Athens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Is it just me, or did those kids, with theor salute, almost look like an old Maoist proaganda poster? They did indeed. They had a wonderful start for that segment, but an end which will put most foreign viewers off. Patriotism is OK at such an event, but you don't need to rub it in everyone's face in such a blatant manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Overreaction much to how Chinese honour their flag and anthem? Will we get all pissy in Chicago when everyone has their hands over their hearts? For the Canadians, all the projections and digital imagining was done by a Canadian company based in Kitchener. My brother works for them. There was a major problem in early rehearsals with some of the equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
