>London 2012's inauguration ceremony still peak
How did they do it?

got a film director who understands how to coordinate everything (even though his films are shit) to sort it out. amazing how it's really that simple

London was dogshit
Beijing was miles better

Paris' ceremony gave me the feeling that France hasnt produced anything culturally significant since the mid 90's. The only recognisable French influences were the 90's dance music.


Personally would have got Audrey Tautou to reprise her role as Amelie and made a whimsical opening ceremony themed along those lines with maybe dome daft punk music thrown in. But even that is 20+ years old

Rowan Atkinson in Britain is "just" one of those late 20th century comedians, but abroad he was huge via his Mr. Bean and Johnny English characters. Like, there are people in Spain or Slovakia or Brazil who know him but have never seen a single frame of Alan Partridge, Rik Mayall or Father Ted.

London's was only good compared to Paris.
But even back then people said it was meh.
Too much pop culture shit, but they had to omit vast swathes of British history because most of it was violence against its European neighbours or colonialism.
Beijing is the gold standard. Just their history without shame.
>>
>>143019261
True
>>
London had to follow the literal GOAT opening ceremony (China).

They chose wisely by liberally sprinkling comedy into a bretty gud ceremony and got clowned on by /sp/ for going overboard with the multiculturalism.

I just got home from work and am about to watch Paris' from the beginning. How was it, btw?

Isn't the purpose of the opening ceremony to spend a lot of money to show of precisely how much of your own dick you can suck off? LA28 will do the same, just with more homeless and drugs.

You can't compare London and Paris because they are different things.

I loved it. I think the more I think about it, the Apocalyptic vibe was intentional and then it became extremely cool and DGAF to me. Maybe its intended to show we are France and we don't need religion anymore. So even do a trans Last Supper. All the countries of the world convene in one place and then we find out the winner just like in The Bible kind of. The Gojira thing was insanely wicked all the blood spray and beheadings holy shit. It could have been faster paced and maybe they went too far with the fashion show. I think fashion has to be a part of France though. I liked how they really didn't gaf and just went as full hardcore French as possible and you could not know languages and still know its France. I loved the boats and the river, the Parkour guy and the Minions was brilliant and Celine Dion had easily in her top five ever performances, tear jerking. Maybe liked it better than London ngl.
>>
>>143019817
As a millennial it was Eurotrash good, but opening ceremony bad. Only people born in a very short timespan would have understood it as art. If there were french musicians I would be celebrating it, but weirdly there were few.

I don't think leaning into your strength is a problem. Britain has a lot of widely recognized pop culture. There's nothing wrong with that. France has plenty of strengths they could lean into but their faggy director has a non-standard idea of what constitutes strengths.

most of the tracks played during the dance anthems part of the ceremony aren't even French. off the top of my head: Freed from desire, some Kate Ryan, Met her at the Love Parade, Sandstorm - none are french
played some Cerrone, Cassius and Justice at points during the event though
>>
>>143019013
made by an actual director. I hate boyle and there were some cringe segments during it but he knows how to put together a show
the one today was very very messy, I liked and despised individual parts but absolutely none of it really meshed except the end part

Don't really care. It's just so quintessentially British to think that Ireland (the second largest of the islands) not recognising the term is nothing but a footnote. Says so much about how you see us.

Because they respected their own history. They also understood that poking fun of themselves sometimes without actually meaning is part of entertainment. It helped that at some points the history of GB is synonymous with the history of the world. That Industrial Revolution segment should be shown in schools.

Europe (being kind, French) but mostly brits invented everything related to the internet, and the computer, but UC Berkeley and a bunch of actually smart Americans usurped us on a load of shit. It would be more accurate to say brits pioneered, but americans won the standards. The web on the other hand was the opposite; pioneered by others, but perfected by a brit at a European institution, using Steve Jobs hardware.

A proper mixed bag, but giving credit to one group is a plain lie. UK, France, and the USA made 99.99% of computing and telecoms.

France probably has the richest culture of all of Europe.
Start with Amelie wandering through '90s Paris then going back in time.
Introduce the gauls, Asterix & Obelix, whatever.
Medieval times with Joan of Arc and some stained glass/cathedral theme with gregorian chanting.
And have Jean Reno reprise his role from Les Visiteurs.
Then depict France as bringing the light of liberty to the world, spawning the USA, statue of liberty, etc.

The 'theme' of the Paris olympics should have been 'imagination' and their literary and artistic contributions.
Jules Verne fantasy 20,000 leagues under the sea, journey to the center of the earth, etc, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Count of Monte Cristo, Three Musketeers.
All their cartoon classics like Little Nemo, flying around Paris at night in his bed, Tintin traveling the world, etc.
Van Gogh and all the impressionist painters.
Throw in some cute brown-haired blue-eyed French girls and everyone's happy.

People hype up the Beijing one all the time because it was the first really bombastic opening ceremony of its kind, but if you look back it really does not compare to the more recent ceremonies. Paris honestly stands on its own because of how unique it was. They have raised the bar once again. As soon as you give it a few years and let it sink in a bit you will agree with me.

The overall structure was organized and someone clearly knew how to slot everything to mesh. I don't really think London was as good as Beijing, but the first section or so of London is definitely 10/10, really great. It's probably when you hit post Mr. Bean that the entire ceremony dips below and starts to go on more than it should, really weighs the beginning down.

France seemed like they wanted to splice a lot of stuff in between since the olympic teams rarely start first, but it felt disconnected a lot. It also had a lot of segments that...had no reason to be there (like the entire Eurodance/European segment). The woman thing was really unusual and I think it would've honestly been better to celebrate the idea that there's just as many women competiting as men in these games by reminding people about gold medalist women and some of the best performances done by them. There's notable cases and focusing on the cultural/historical aspect I feel like was out of left field. Of all the things that was based in the history of France, that's what shouldn't have been.
>>143019817
This was really great. I think this and the horse along the river was a showing of why they picked the river for the focus, but at the same time, the boat format was just incredibly meh.

Absolutely fucking mind boggling there's no Count of Monte, no Hunchback and that Jules Verne only really got a 2-3 second nod in a part about "film". The film part only being like 30 seconds long.

Because they wanted to make a political statement about "modern" France, and with no reference to the old (white) classics. The only reference was in the film clip.

False opinion. Today was better than London. Higher peaks, also lower lows. All in all i enjoyed it more. Paris is the superior city after all. Even though Vienna is the superiorst city in Europe. But they haven't hosted a summer Olympics yet.

TinTin is Belgian. Anyhow i do semi agree with you. The speeches should haven timed af. like 10 minutes in total tops (loved that Macron was done in 15 sec). And yes there should have been more nods to the actual city. I understand that Paris has changed a lot in a 100 years. But that history is still there. Those people still made this city what it is today.

Defeat in a war is a temporary loss. Destroying your own nation from within however is eternal. No matter how often you were to bomb Dresden, the damage would still be less than what the English have done to their own country in the past 100 years. Pitiful.

Very simple, they made it in 2012. Things weren't anywhere as pozzed as they are today. If they'd hosted the games this year instead, it would be as awful as ours was.

The opening ceremonies are the main reason I hate olympics as a ceremony. There's so many faggots who come in just for that and they only commentate on that, what to add and what to show and who should sing.
Wow, you think the actress who played Amelie should've appeared? NO! YOU FUCKING NIGGER FAGGOT! They should've made an opening ceremony involving the sports and the athletes, the actual fucking purpose of the olympics. I don't give a fuck about the troons and or the cuties of french, sit the fuck down and let the champions of sports have the spotlight. You fucking retards.
Nothing would make me happier than seeing the olympics go bankrupt within my lifetime so there could be more focus on world championships for athletics, swimming and gymnastics.

Beijing literally starts trending on social media every Olympics opening because normalfags start nostalgiafagging over it and comparing whatever current one. It is undoubtedly the GOAT opening ceremony and only the most fringe of contrarian chuds diagree.

you won't see any homeless in LA '28. Gov Newsom just outlawed homelessness a few days ago. They did the same in '84. They are rounded up and put in jail for a couple of weeks, "three hots and a cot", and their tents and crap are removed.

this is true. honestly that ceremony (and the olympics in general) was the best thing we have done as a modern country and it has all been shite since then
