Probably the only people who were not bowled over by Friday's opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics were the Brazilian team in charge of the opening ceremony for the 2016 Olympics. Just how do you top such an amazing spectacle?
It was fantastic from start to finish:
the Queen and James Bond, sheep and border collies,
Mr Bean being stupid, children dancing on hospital beds, David
Beckham on a speed-boat, an array of Prozac- bright colours, Usain
Bolt, a bombardment of exciting music, suffragettes, chimney
factories rising up from the ground, some of the most talented
athletes in the world taking photographs of the audience, an
explosion of fireworks, doves on bicycles, a cauldron of copper
bowls, not just one but seven young athletes to light the cauldron...
The list goes on and on and on...
It was informative, creative, moving, exciting, inspiring, and funny.
If my only regret is that I didn't record it. Guess I'll have to buy the DVD because I want to watch it all over again.
