TorchbearerSydney Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 This is coming across as a technically clever, cold and unimaginative ceremony.....it is so devoid of emotion or any sense of reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Oh dear. The chinese accents are way too strong. I appreciate the effort but the 2008 kids did it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is also very generic in many parts, many copied ideas from earlier ceremonies and lots of overused Western music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting cringier every second. Xi Jinping is watching. I mean, if no-one looks happy in front of him, then there's a bloodbath waiting for the performers.

Ikarus360 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Instrumental Olympic anthem. Probably to make up for that horrendous performance of the anthem. I take back what I said of Rio 2016 arrangement. It was better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hoping the Paralympic ceremony will be better as Tokyo's Paralympic opening ceremony was an improvement over the Olympic ceremony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I can't deal with the fact that the director of the technically excellent and stunning (albeit also emotionally cold) Beijing 2008 opening ceremony is the same person who is directing today's kitschy tripe: Zhang Yimou. He must have been forced to do it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiruba98 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Also hoping the cauldron will be just as iconic as 2008 I have a feeling that tall screen thing is where it'll be. Keeping it more secretive than Tokyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
