thatsnotmypuppy 558 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 It has to be said that whatever budget restrictions are in place visually at least they are getting the maximum bang for their bucks... reals... There are some stunning stadium theatrics in this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevzz 146 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 Bar the floor projection, which I still have qualms about excessive use of it, I think we will all be pleasantly surprised by the ceremony come Friday. The photos so far show a very promising ceremony full of colour and uniquely Brazillian aesthetic and feel that is never seen before in any past Olympics. Very very excited now!

kevzz 146 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 Apparently it was reported that Gisele Bundchen will make an appearance by getting robbed while strutting down a street, then involving a police chase and it all ends in goodwill. Sounds like an interesting skit and great that the organiser is not shying away from the reality of Brazilian life! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TorchbearerAA 9 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 From people who watched the ceremony live or via internet, is it true there is a LGBT section in the ceremony? Maybe you can answer in a hidden message so no spoilers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 591 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 https://globoplay.globo.com/v/5202358/ It seems kids (The Niteroi children chorus, apparently) will sing the Olympic Anthem, much like in Beijing. I'm glad its not an instrumental version again like in London. They will sing it in english, though. I kinda hoped they would do it in Portuguese.
