Ikarus360 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Instead of metalic petals we now have a boy carrying a plant alongside the flagbearer. I was weirded out at first but now i love the placard bearers: One of the most original i've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 It fit in well as the commentary was as much about what the future will hold as how Brazil fuckked up with their deforestation. Quite powerful actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just gives a vibe if a dull documentary... I like it though weirdly. The camera angles are just off though. For the parade of nations you don't see the placards and its so zoomed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevzz Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 That's how they cut short the athletes parade segment by having then walk straight into the field instead of around the stadium. Kinda feel rushed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMarkSnow2012 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 This is getting quite freaky now. I'm watching and listening to the BBC "no commentary" version on projection, but I 've also got a television tuned to the standard BBC version, muted, with subtitles switched on- and the subtitles are going absolutely crazy during the Parade.

ofan Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Interesting ceremony so far. But it's only been 50 minutes. There must be some more artistic segments to come after the parade? Also missing: a tribute to past Olympics in the countdown, and the Olympic rings. A very bizarre, non-traditional, yet strangely highly entertaining ceremony thus far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a gift to each nation of an indigenous Brazilian tree/plant to bring back home. Try getting that through customs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
