Spectacular! Spectacular!
I bet I wasn’t the only one being awed by last night’s the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony as choreographed by famed Chinese filmmaker, Zhang Yimou (director of ‘Hero’, ‘House of Flying Daggers’) and his creative team. It’s simply the best and most extravagant opening ceremony I’ve ever witness! It made me proud of my heritage and culture as every performance tells a story about Chinese contribution to the world today, in a fantastic visual experience using manual and high-tech techniques. In fact, everything about the event looks like a ‘live’ gigantic movie set happening in the ‘Bird’s Nest’. It’s a such a feat and I truly applaud the Chinese for achieving a great new height, and setting the bar for hosting such a spectacular Olympics. If you’ve missed it last night, too bad baby.
This took my breath away. The coordination is simply amazing!
It only takes one person to screw this up. But, you can see the dedication in ‘em.
I’ve never seen so many types of fireworks display in my life.
Flying fairy suspended in the air with wires! They’re like fireflies. Cool.
The Chinese invented fireworks. They can celebrate all they want.
I love the colours, the costumes, the art direction. Beautiful.
She’s such a cutie when she sang and flew up! She’s going to be famous.
Synchronized martial arts display. Only Asians can appreciate.
Love these glow suits! They formed the Bird’s Nest!!
Astronaut! Chinese in space, like 2001: Space Odyssey or something.
Adorable kids from all ethnic tribes in China.
This “planet” emerged from the ground, like WHATTT.
Tell me, doesn’t this look like a movie set? Awesome tie-dyed!
This totally rocks. Every Chinese character box is operated by man.
I couldn’t believe when Li Ning was running in the air to light the torch!
Talk about a grand finale. China has made its presence in the world with a big bang!
