olympian.br Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 3 minutes ago, Red Centaur said: I’m notice a struggle with scale. Paris is BIG - and the performers / performances are getting lost or struggling to have impact within their settings. True! That Marseillase perfomance was beautiful but the scale was so off, the singer looked so tiny. Quote

rio2016man Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Did Hazel just say Alexander Meerkat was carrying the Moldovan flag?! Quote
HenryOaks Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well, the athletes parade is the best thing in this ceremony. In the traditional way is just really long and boring. 10 seconds per country is enough. Quote
JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 1 minute ago, Red Centaur said: I’m not liking the fragmented parade of nations. But statistics from numerous earlier ceremonies show that the public in general do not like the unfragmented parade of nations, with audiences steadily declining over the 100+ minutes it takes Quote
FYI Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well, probably better some rain than a potential scorching heatwave (which was also a concern). Quote
zigzag Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 damn, double skipping on a wet platform, that could be dangerous isn't it? Quote
Faster Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 There is a 'Disneyesque' quality to this. It is like we are seeing a reflection of France instead of France. Quote
sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I really can't seem to position myself on the ceremony at the moment. But in any case, from what I see on Twitter: - all French people love it, or at least have a good time - a large part of non-French people either hate it, or don't like it too much It's so divisive. 1 Quote

Red Centaur Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Vogue World Paris presented better than this ceremony. Quote

Also, for performers I was sure the OBS had graphics listing the performer but it isn’t occurring here? They didn't pass them out to the TV commentators. They SHOULD'VE BUILT a WHOLE BUBBLE along the route to have fought the rain!! Quote
Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Just now, Sir Rols said: I’m looking forward to watching the surfing straight after the ceremony Ohhhh!! I can’t wait for this either. Thanks for the reminder. Quote
Aussie bum Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 It feels like the boring bit, the atheletes parade has been extended rather than made shorter. It just feels like a parade of athletes. I also keep feeling its what the opening ceremony of 'Jeux sans frontières' would look like if they bought it back : ) Quote
Faster Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Until that guy started speaking French I thought it was Pitbull. Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Night is falling down. Hopefully this will tone down the rain a bit. Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 O-oh! Hate the RAP portion! Luckily it's in French so I don't get the inanity of the lyrics!! Quote
krow Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 the light is falling fast, or is it just this camera? Quote
Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Marine Le Pen will not be amused at this section 🤣 Quote
