  • beautiful fireworks will be controversial in West monster's eyes, because it happened in china. hypocrite. shame

  • @BestOfBritishMusic1 haha, ever been to china my friend. ur free to speak. lol idk what they taught u in school

  • @BestOfBritishMusic1 ur a retard dude. do u think we give a fuck about what a foreigner thinks? hell no. don't come bitching about rights after ur nation plagued the world, and is now a pathetic nation of faggots. sip ur tea and stfu.

  • The opening ceremonies had these footprint fireworks that lead to the birds nest. On tv they filmed it as if the helicopter followed it, but that was CG since it was too dangerous to fire fireworks at a chopper. But in reality the fireworks did happen, just not filmed at that angle...

  • what is controversial about those fireworks?

  • Guys lets not get confused here. China is not a Communist nation. Well, they're a hybrid at best- the coast is pure capitalist, the countryside adhering to socialist values.

    But China is a one-party government. So politically? More authoritarian. Karl Marx would not look at China and define it as a communist nation. Just some food for thought.

  • @arzgania

    Finally, an intelligent comment

  • even india needs communism badly... indians have a population that will outgrow china in a decade and we have democracy here where everything is voted for... How stupid considering more than 250 languages spoken here and homeground to every possible religion in the world. Singapore and japan got their independence 25 yrs after india got it and now you cant even compare their growths.

  • @cybermanish7 we should start for promoting on communism as we indian needs more thn chinese as our current situation of corrupintion which shows in cw games.

  • "tradição de 5 anos de história" é foda, hein!

  • in the description, it said home video, and it does look like a home video.

    sooo....how is this fake?? it looks pretty real to me, for a home video.

  • hehhm i really don't know why it's so hard to find some cool guys on you tube!

  • wow guys...aren't the olympics supposed to bring the world together? What's with all this hate?

  • It was computer animated....

  • @Cypern ur mom was computer animated

  • ur an idiot..why would it be computer animated...china invented fireworks...and it was the most important day of thier history...ur a real dumbass you know that

  • You can google this "olympic beijing firework" Then read and learn.

    Not all firework was faked, but a lot of it...

    They are faking anything, just like the faked space walk.

  • Even The Beijing Times, revealed that a 55-second sequence was created by a visual effects team - read and learn

  • the footprints were real in the stadium but there was fear of filming it live so most of them were cg on tv

  • oohhh... so many fireworks!!

  • fireworks!!

  • holy shit imagine how much money that would take o.o!

  • Just fuck yourself

  • People stop hating on the Chinese because they put on a fireworks so grand that the total cost will probably bankrupt your country. Rehearsed or not, the fireworks did happen in real life and at a scale unmatched in the world.

  • Why fake fireworks?

  • why u said that? is real...

  • I didn't see this cuz i was on a plane to go on holiday-i saw the closing ceremony tho!

  • people, save some time and go get a life. ~

    controversial what?

    Just go find any Youtube video about the Chinese New Year eve fireworks in major Chinese cities. You'll know this fireworks is just NOTHING.

    Chinese people love fireworks. In every new year eve, million times more fireworks are consumed. It is always a much better way to use gunpowder, rather than use in Iraq.

  • how about US o,O clean the blood in Afghanistan now? white people should die and get the hell out of this world..no one like white coz thier colorless, only color people can stay in this world...but is funny tho when u talk shit to other country and u had the worst shitty country in the world....911 is the best lesson for u guys...shitty white !

  • AP has reported that 95 percent of civilian deaths in afghanistan is caused by the talibans. these are the same people who bomb girl's schools, murder non muslims, and burn books.

    you sit there and criticize us? democracy, freedom, and capitalism.....this is the future of humanity. not slavery, religious zelots, backward thinking.

  • US officials threatened war against Afghanistan during the summer of 2001. These reports include the prediction, made in July, that if the military action went ahead, it would take place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest. The Bush administration began its bombing strikes on the hapless, poverty-stricken country October 7, and ground attacks by US Special Forces began October 19.

  • ok first of all u are extremely fuked up, 2nd of all black is not a colour either, white and black are tones. well going against what i said black people are actualy brown which is a colour and white people are a cream colour which means we all colourd u retard. i dont think ull find a person who is the same colour as paper. so your argument is pointless. + muslims believes are fuked up

  • threatened?

  • your a fuckin fag obviously dude. think about all the blacks and thier dumbshit drugs they do, think of the gangs they run and kill eachother. least the whites fuckin fought to defend the colored. then you guy all treat us like shit.

  • @runescaper4me chill

  • @runescaper4me are you fuckin serious? You're the most racist piece of shit. I hope you get fuckin glocked in the streets, fucker.

  • I'm not racist at all. I just hate how black people act like they are the shit and that they are the amazing people and that white's suck and all that shit. I have no problem with blacks/mexicans/asians, unless they mouth off about how amazing thier race is and how whites are the worst ever. Well if I get glocked, then it'll prolly be by some black gang.

  • @runescaper4me I hope they do, however you can't say you have no problem with them, then go on to say if you get glocked, chances are that it'll be by a black gang. I'm no spokesperson, and I usually refrain from saying this stupid shit, but you make no sense. And the whites fought for black freedom? It's not even that simple. There were many whites against it AND for it. You can't just generalize and stereotype, especially when it comes to race. Come on, man; grow up.

  • that's right....sweet AND bitter water cannot flow from the same fountain!

  • haha,a brainwashed little fucker

  • I love China!

    nice place,I am going to work in China.

  • so jealous of u

  • CCP is flawed but did well for the past few decades, i wish china could reform and get rid of those corrupt officials, but probably won't happen for the next couple decades..

  • ucirat is another looser.

  • haha cry more lolz

  • lol who the fuck started the rumor that these were fake, cuz thats pretty stupid.

  • these fireworks are real but as part of the opening ceremony there were firework "footprints" in the sky leading all the way to the stadium. these were CGI

  • @jonharrispro that fire work was real too

    but there was a TV trailer at the start used cgi animation

    and so some fag started to calling fake fireworks cuz they got their mom fake cgi-ed too im sorry

  • 我们汉人也恨那些狗官,就是他们一直给我们洗脑,消弱我们的民族­意识.现在汉文化也开始复兴了,先让我们杀掉那些狗官,顺便把你­们这些凶残的垃圾少民给清理掉.

  • 哦,那麻烦你不写汉字先

  • yall do kno dat dos fireworks are fake rite

  • no ther not

  • 5 anos de história??? (Narrador).

  • very stupid that the u.s wants to expose stupid shit about fake fireworks and lip syncing while the idiots cant even expose the real truth to 9/11. and how we also watched cgi images on live tv. FAKE PLANES! dont believe me??? do the research

  • wow! amazing firework

  • prefect day....and prefect Olympic games~!

  • Controversial what?

    We love fireworks. In the chinese new year eve, we consume million times more fireworks than the Beijing 2008 opening ceremony. It is much better to use the gunpowder in this way rather than use in Iraq or Palestine to kill people.

  • Great Beijing!!!

  • i put a firework like that in a porta potty

    look at the video

  • What the Americans should do is to smoke more pot like Michael Phelps.

  • Nice, assume that since I'm not Chinese I must be American?

    Guess again. My country has a clean slate.

  • A clean slate, yet you smother dirt all over it. No need to state which country you're from because you would only disgrace them.

    And if you think savagekei05 assumption is wrong,then you should reevaluate yours.

    "lol, are all the chinese dudes coming here and trying to say china is the best or what? "

    So what if the Chinese want to show some nationalism, they aren't the only ones doing it.

  • I was pointing out something I thought was funny.

    Nationalism can be a bad thing. It's not a good thing to say that something is good just because you believe it, or because you're a part of it. That's not progressive thinking. What I said was an observation, and if you don't like it, that's fine.

    However, saying that I disgrace my country when I wasn't trying to be offensive to China, isn't fine.

    Besides, his assumption WAS wrong. Mine was pretty accurate.

  • You laugh at the expense of other people's ethnicity. Sure everyone is entitled to their opinions, but when you bring race into this, its called racism.

    And how can nationalism be a bad thing, in this case, which the Chinese are merely praising their own Olympic celebration.

    Your agenda here is obvious from your first post which is to criticize the Chinese government system, however you are taking it out on all Chinese.

    Must I remind you the purpose of the Olympics?

  • I had NO agenda. I saw a bunch of people saying that the Beijing olympics were the best ever. I disagree.

    Also, China isn't a race. It's a nation. Hence I can't be racist to it.

    My other comment was right on. Why is China wasting money on sports when they could be spending those millions on saving citizens who are living on subsistence farming, or dying from disease.

    If you want to continue this discussion, send me a personal mail. Other people shouldn't have to read this.

  • Nationalism can be a very bad thing. think how many lives have been lost because leaders and their countries thought they had some god given right, or some ridiculous dream of world dominance, all for what? For a flag?

  • It can be, but not always. In this case specifically, I was referring to how the Chinese were praising their opening ceremony. I don't see how this can be a bad thing.

    I've never stated that nationalism is always a good thing.

  • Nationalism in China had been from the people in the beginning, and it wasn't about world dominance. Nationalism developed in China because, at the time, China was invaded by imperialistic nations. The Chinese were merely trying to protect their country and their identity. They never dreamed of world dominance at all. Rather, we Americans tend to think ourselves as the center of the world...

  • Great!!!Beijing!!!

  • you are nothing but garbage.

  • Why the god makes the garbage like you?

  • who knows, he is 35 and he is still garbage

  • if this is garbage to him lets see him try to make something better than this.

  • Beijing opening ceremony was spectacular. Incredible discipline and technological accuracy, the way only Chinese could manage to achieve. But Athens 2004 Games had a privilege; they took place in the birthplace of the Olympic Games, so it was a matter of pride for Greeks to give Games their true meaning; human being in the centre of interest. Beijing made an exaggerating effort to show the world, that here we are people, in front of you the chinese strength dominates and rules.

  • fireworks al over this place :P

  • From the Philippines! I LOVE the Opening Ceremony of Beijing! The BEST in Olympic History yet I'm looking forward to London 2012! But CHINA did an AWESOME job! SPECTACULAR fireworks and presentations!

  • the education we got from ancient times was mainly about kindness, giving, selfless... chinese culture was probably one of the earliest cultures telling people those precious things. those people who say bad things about China, don't just tend to see the bad side of things which may not even true, u just have to wait and see how China do.

  • and yeah, sometimes life's not easy for some people, but it happens in every country isn't it? we are trying... to make our life better,we are optimistic towards life, we show the utmost respect to the world people.

  • don't talk like u know everything,i live in china,there're lota foreigners around, people are pretty kind and friendly to them.

  • we chinese spent our money, did our efforts, all we ever wanted is to welcome friends from all over the world to join this great moment not only for the chinese people but people of the world! we never meant no harm! how can someboy say something like that?

  • whats your problem??

  • China still have a long way to go.

  • So beautiful, so proud of China~!

  • 3rd world chinese showing power wake up west

  • dilpkul: By the time the West wakes up, China will become a First World Country by then. That's just 20 years away.

    Meanwhile, just get used to it.

  • Not really, China's GDP per capita is still extremely low.

  • 80smusicfan,But there are more than 50 million Chinese who are as rich as those from

    Japan and I am talking about the entire population of Great Britain.

  • China is still poor in my eyes. Look at all those people living in rural areas with no money. Its shameful that a country that touted equality for so long now reeks of so much inequality between the rich coastal regions and the hinterland.

  • 80smusicfanNO1: Your U.K. is no bed of roses when it comes to inequality among the various economic classes, except you take it to a fine art.

  • it must be heartbreaking. How does it compare to the USA? The UN reported that some poverty in the US is on a '3rd' world level! I guess that means the rich are getting richer and he poor are getting poorer. That's probably true of the entire globe.

    Our domestic spying program might have been copped from China, as well!

  • Well a lot people gain a lot money in china but a lot people are poor thats why the GPD is so extremely low, the people aren't rich but the government is tóó rich china has a shitty government just like a lot other Western countries

  • no, in fact, a communism government is the best solution for a country with a high population like china. u can just imagine how chaotic it would be if usa had over a billion people all with plenty of freedoms and rights? there is a dark side on communist system but that's just how the country holds together, and also no system is perfect, these's always a down side.

  • have you ever been to CHINA

  • It wouldn't really be that chaotic.

  • @stevensong1989 "how chaotic it would be if usa had over a billion people all with plenty of freedoms and rights?"

    Don't worry about us mind your own shit.

  • @stevensong1989 How the **** can you say that? Have you ever lived in a communist country? When you do, please come back and tell me how it is. Communism is no solution to any problem. Your post was 2 years ago, so I assume you have become smarter and changed your opinion. If so, I apologize for my comment.

  • @wolski888 would you please define "communism"

  • @consrignornt Why do I need to define it when I can see the result of communism found in history?

  • centainly every nation would say their system is better and that's why we all think others have been brainwashed, but every country has its own way to govern, and communism isnt go bad for china right now

  • @stevensong1989

    Communism isn't go bad for china right now?

    obviously you don't read the papers lately with all the crackdowns on religious people in rural china being hauled off to mental institutions and or being executed.

  • 哟 日不落帝国的人哎

  • corruption? which government come without corruption? your rights? use taxpayers money to bailout big company and end up you get no shares? freedoms? i think Chinese people are living in a happier society. go there and take a look, they are amazing, and i am not a China citizen. what make you think this way about China?? because your media is being controlled, so dont trust your media that you thought are full of freedoms...it is a laughing stock.

  • do you know that rich men from briton are actually not british???

  • correct, but what about so call super power USA? now they are begging China, SIngapore and Arabs to give financial support. and what you mean rural area? at least they are debt free and do not need to stay in a tent like those in western.

  • Who the hell are staying in tents?

  • WTH? I don't even remember that I left a comment on this vid but you're probally right

  • USA hasn't asked for financial help from the arabs for the past month or two. The US hasn't been begging too anyone, they may be asking this nation to contribute in this way or that but they are not begging.

  • I heard the footprints fireworks were real...but there was no way of photographing them...so the CGI versions were shown on TV. Real footprint fireworks were set off.

    China invented fireworks, of course they are going to put on the greatest show the world has ever seen.

    As far as human rights, remember that the US doesn't have a perfect history either. China has MUCH TO IMPROVE but I think they have a right to be proud of this accomplishment.

  • right's are protected in the consitution, but it's the corrupt leaders that doesn't make it perfect,

    in China there is not protection AND there is the bad leaders so it's a lose-lose situation

  • they did it so freakin cool

  • zomfg that dragon was fencing! they figured out how to use swords! we're fucked!

  • There are raw footages been taken on mobiles to show those fireworks are real, you can even find those vids on Youtube

    China invented fireworks, I think we can handle the footprints no sweat

  • Everyone in this world including Chinese who felt shame to those acts, are wishing this will be the first and last Faking Olympics.

  • For all of you out there yapping about using a chopper to follow the "foot prints", here's some simple math to shut ur yapper. The steps started at Tian'anmen and end at bird nest in 29 steps, average about 2~3 sec/step giving a totally time of less than 90sec. The distance between Tian'anmen and bird nest is around 10km(6.3mile). This need the chopper to fly at ~450km/h(280mph). While within the reach of some faster ones, it is WAY TO FAST for TV ones, not to consider the timing etc.

  • awesome fireworks !!! i love it!!

    digital fireworks? u must be blind

    we brain washed? u must be brain washed 2

    china is growing stronger and stronger everyday - u jealous much?

    mocking us? just because you cant face the reality lol

    human rights? i guess u got nothing else to say ? i am very happy where i live.

    we are not racist as well - not like u dumb americans.

  • human rights is not having the yanks coming and bomb your country into a hell hole.

  • Did you know that Mr hcn9 got beaten up quite badly by a simple man yesterday?

    The Chinese Communist Party's Mighty Mighty SuperPower Spammer Army were so embarrassed, upset and ashamed that they had to go any hide any trace of the beating.

    Mr hcn9 is reported to be recovering in hospital from the beating but will be OK in a couple of weeks. 

    I wonder if we will see him again?

  • Ridiculous...look at the South Korean SBS thing, is that a normal one should do? They really should teach themselves from the old to the young. Shability always accompanies Koreans

Go stick ur head in a NUT shell! u're a disgrace on earth!

  • I am an American! God Bless America. I dont like the ignorant ppl here slandering China & so much of it, due to the western media, The media does hav sumth'n to do with politics in some ways & it does affect the views of ppl. Pity that I see our media is being bias to countries whom are not in favour to the US or interest. STOP the racial comments & negativity on CHINA. Countries or ppl who continues to be disturbed to others based on different views should be banned to live & to voice! SHUT UP!

  • you know nothing about china!
