Olympic Opening Ceremony, thoughts?
#3
RE: Olympic Opening Ceremony, thoughts?
Yeah I've been reading some of the criticism online and honestly I just don't understand it. People are saying it was too self deprecating. Fair point, but the games were awarded to London for a record 3rd time, so suck it. Others said it didn't celebrate the Olympic spirit enough. Did they even watch who lit the fucking Olympic cauldron or not? And others are comparing it to Beijing. Let's face it, no one else can compete with what Beijing did, so we had to go for something different.

Ofcourse it wasn't perfect, there were things which many people across the globe wouldn't get, but I don't remember getting much about the Beijing opening ceremony either.

So in response to the criticism I have seen, it just seems to be coming from sad, spiteful people.

My 2 cents anyway.
