I was having a job seeing it through the tears, having also not expected anything and missing the 1st 5 minutes. Surprised me coz I don't think of myself as patriotic at all. I got bored and switched off the athletes walking in. But I flicked back for the very end.

The commentary explained it, and if foreign viewers didn't have that then I think interpretation would be pretty impossible.

I guess I'm the same kinda age as the creator and that's why it got me. I just thought it was fucking genius.
