cslopes54 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think the transmission will be shitt. Does the height of the stadium bother anyone else? Looks so short and too much going on with the metal structures =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we should judge how this will come out considering it wasn't even taken during a full rehearsal and we have no idea if this will be the main olympic rings thing (since strong rumours point they will be formed in Copacabana). Â Same for the crooked look of the outline. This seems to most likely be the parade of nations, though. I'm excited for the fireworks, they're using much more than both London and Beijing's so its safe to asume Copacabana will be used as well for them?

I hope I'm wrong. Diss LA84 all you can, WITHOUT what was achieved then for only $5 million, you wouldn't be having the $62 million Beijing, $65 million Sochi and $95 million Baku 2015 openings,  If Brazil's show turns out to be less than unique, I think it will be OK (I can't believe I am actually saying this  ) because at some point, the level has to top off.  You can only do so much with heads rising out of water, or inverted islands floating by, or fire-rocks rising from the stadium floor.  Plus, the host country's economic and political climates are rather borderline and touchy, so a not-nearly spectacular opening ceremony wouldn't be the worst thing.  And if anything, it will be the Brazilian political scene and the Russian bans that will be the dominant stories by Opening time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it not be great with all the experience of Rio has with costume parades etc? ...or maybe they spent all their ceremony budget to develop a time machine that will take the stadium and audience back to 1984 so a ceremony that would be sub-par in 2016 would look like something new and important?

Ikarus360 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Lol, people are pulling their hairs right now after seeing that pic when it wasn't even taken during a full rehearsal and we basically know nothing of it (even if it hints it will be related to the Parade of Nations). Remember Sydney 2000 had at least 3 representations of the Olympic Rings (Man from Snowy River, Arrivals and Heroes Live Forever, respectively)  I suggest people don't jump to conclusions, at least until the full rehearsal is done next weekend. Then we will know for sure how the quality of this show will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 The IOC brand is so tarnished now you might as well switch out the big logo reveal from the rings to a McDonald's logo, then you could add to the revenue for the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brasilolimpico Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 When I see the interviews of the directors of the ceremony . It seems that the show will be a moral or philosophical lesson. We need something big . Incidentally, the OC is the time that is marked in the future , in 2020 when the channels are disseminating promotional to Tokyo , we see images of the Opening of Rio ? Or will we be confused with Los Angeles 84 ? London 2012 was not sumptuous but it was worthy of the Olympics that followed Beijing. I do not expect Rio take Beijing as a reference, but should not take the 80 and 90 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 The LAST more ridiculous thing one can imagine would be a moral or philosophical lesson from Rio and or the IOC, unless of course they are going for pure comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to bet on more artistic presentations . Beijing (and London too for the Paralympic closing) had fireworks at multiple locations across the city. With an entire forest between the ceremonial stadium and the Olympic Park, Rio could really benefit from a similar approach! And a Sochi-style parade of nations alternating left and right half-laps would be a smart thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not doubt. From what I read about the bet the ceremony will be : ' A ceremony to show the diversity of Brazilians, and as our nation could live with diversity ' . ' Will have a segment for the Indians , another for Afro-Brazilians , one for European immigrants , a lot of Brazilian music (which is not necessarily the music heard by most people ) .' All very simple , focusing on dance and etc. Something in the style of presentation of Brazil at the end of London 2012 . - If I were the organization bet on World show the following message: 'Hey world, are different from what you think of us ... are modern and as good as you.'

alphamale86 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 What is everyone complaining about? RELAX!!! Give Rio some space. Beijing completely messed all of you up when it comes to expectations of an opening ceremony. I remember the organizers of London were definitely trying to lower expectations of the OC because Beijing was so incredulous. That's why they adopted the approach of reveal as much as you can before air time in order to temper expectations. Rio already told you all, this is not going to be the budget of London or Beijing so calm down. To be honest I feel where Rio will try to capitalize is on pure human energy. If you've ever been to Rio you'll know exactly what I am talking about. There is a life, an energy to that city that can not be replicated the vibrancy of the people is almost tangible. From the pictures of the performers I can tell in their faces that they definitely tapped into that. now it is to see whether it comes across like that on tv  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm remaining calm. I don't want to jump to conclusions until I see more things when the Dress Rehearsal happens. After that we'll have permission to be either excited or scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
