dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Is this the Chinese anthem? I think so. They're gonna put up their flag.
Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I liked that children/flag segment -- until the goosesteps of the soldiers.
theone Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 the floating rings were simply unexpected.. how did they do that?
NYCD 2012 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 This little girl looks to be lip syncing?? Now that you mentioned it ....
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 don't you hate it when you see empty seats grrrr!
dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report 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..
Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Oh no, do those children show a communist salute? Now I hate that segment even more...
dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 The fireworks are just spectacular. I knew they wouldn't disappoint on that front.
Sir Rols Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Is it just me, or did those kids, with theor salute, almost look like an old Maoist proaganda poster?
NYCD 2012 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Its a film about paper making now ... a chinese invention. Ohhh and there caligraphy as well.
Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report 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.
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 the floating rings were simply unexpected.. how did they do that? I asked that myself, too "wunderschön" - these "human brushes"
theone Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 painting of the scroll.. how cool is that! LOVELY!
NYCD 2012 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Now the paper in floating ! Are those men wearing giant paintbrushes on their heads ?
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 hope they use the scools again. do those guys have paint brushes on there heads???
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 sorr typing to fast. i meant scrolls / panels but hey there using them again anyway.
dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 What is that supposed to be in the middle of the stadium?
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) my english vocabulary isn't enough - I don't find the rioght word in english - it is just wonderful - the costumes are great - these print blocks are amazing Edited August 8, 2008 by Citius Altius Fortius
PYRROS2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I hope this is computerised some how and they don;t have people under the boxes....
Faster Posted August 8, 2008 Report 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.
