Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Finale

[koboo87]

BEST

[russiangymfan]

All Hollywood movies are fake! All those American stars on magazine covers are fake!

[Leilich14]

I am 47, have watched the olympics all my life. This was by far, the best opening cermony I have ever seen. I doubt anyone can ever top what these people did.

[deanopks]

you sick ignorant racist american. at least the students in tianerman square died with respect fighting for their rights and something they believed. you americans cant even see how fucked ya own country is, how the government and its controllers are rapidly taking away ya freedoms, rights and raping ya country of what little its now worth. 911 was a much larger massacre by a government on its own people, the world hates the US but they dont mock u for 911 cus that was also a bad day for mankind

[billjesusgates]

@deanopks, mao murdered 80 million people in 30 years (wikipedia). that beats hitler and stalin combined.  congratulation to china for its gold medal in genocide.

[billjesusgates]

are you saying 911 is done by the chinese communist military?

[xuci111111]

Are you implying you don't have a brain?

CORRECT!

[appelsap10]

Amazing!

[jsyn1230]

starting from 0:42...just spectacular

[sookster54]

Yes, fireworks ARE fake, even the commentator during the show (CBC Canada) said it was.

The drum sequence was my favorite, 2008 drummers was intimidating but fascinating at the same time.

I have doubts that anyone in the future will top China's Olympic opening, I thought Athens was great but this- wow!

[Ch1neseDrag0n]

I saw this on CBC, the commentator said the fireworks were deafening.

So it's either the fireworks were real, or the commentators have a hearing problem.

[taken003]

the fireworks are computer generated and the rest are true??? watch the manila 2024 olympics we make a meeting and i said we will do like the beijing olympics the fireworks are so beutiful not like the china faked...

[china198664]

YOU ARE BITHCH

[taken003]

why it is not true...fuck ur face idiot...fireworks fake and computer generated....

[sookster54]

LOL Manila.

[Ch1neseDrag0n]

taken003

1.) This is a home video of the fireworks display. How is it fake?

2.) China is the biggest manufacturer of fireworks in the world (not to mention, the inventor). So if Manila had fireworks, they're probably going to buy them from China.

3.) Manila 2024? What's that? Corruption Day? LOL!

[MACKBOOK123456]

Chinese Invented Gunpowder use to Make Firework

[wleong85]

super bad dun spent time on this......

[axgam]

Ok Ok Super Bad

[2008ou]

hope the whole world get togerther peace forever.olympic everyday.thinks china.you did the greatest job.

[socalazn168]

It was only the part where they showed the footprint fire through Beijing city that was digitalized. The rest of the fireworks are real.

[GEYURI]

They had the footprints for real also. Only the televised version was computer generated.

[ajlisknillat]

did they have that to but the one going to tv looked to perfect to be true,but really it cant be that hard,jsut put out firing base in a pattern of a foot?

[kennethyeah]

i think those western media are so negative and shallow. it's just a show for god's sake! grow up!!!!

[ctap0703]

Those who were in Beijing Olympic would say that the fireworks was real. Only the blind would say that was fake. I was in Beijing, I could even smell the fireworks.

[socalazn168]

Australia just admitted that they faked their own performace back in 200 Sydney game by pre-recording their orchestra that was played by people in Melbourne and not Sydney. I'd love to see now how you China bashing have to say about that. Your so called "democratic" country faked their own performace and hide it from the world this whole entire time.

[inspireradavstatyer]

But what does a democratic constitution has to do with faked fireworks? The critics aimed upon China on this issue has nothing to do with democracy vs dictatorship.

[socalazn168]

inspireradavstatyer: Yes you are right, it doesn't and shouldn't have anything to do with it. But unfortunately alot of China hater and basher who condomns China's leadership and brag about their democratic system are using this as an excuse to sabatage and ruin the whole Olympic spirit for everyone. BTW China is ruled by one-party government not by a dictator. The Chinese government change their leaderships several years by party officials.

[inspireradavstatyer]

One-party government or dictatorship? I don't really see any decisive differences. I understand this kind of government might be efficient for a developing country, but what about those who has different opinions than the government?

[xingfenzhen]

There is a huge difference, remember even James Madison was against different political parties. And Japan was under effectively one party rule under the LDP from 1955-1993. However, China's case is a bit different, since none of eight minor political party even has a chance to challenge the CCP for power. For more information, read the wiki article on democratic centralism

[mrpanda01]

They're screwed. But there are many tradeoffs to consider. There's nothing ensuring, to any likely degree, that a democracy would be "better" for China. It might come at the cost of political and economic stability. The way it stands now, a very small percentage have their liberal freedoms reduced, while a much larger group are being brought out of poverty.

[djefir]

am crossing my fingers! peace :)

[djefir]

hope u will amaze us guys (Londoners), coz china, oh my god china showed how the olympic games show should look like: fantastic!

[aka99]

fake or not fake, the chinese know how to make fireworks

[ShanniesCookies]

Ashamed to be British! The women commentator is always slating the Chinese!For F sake,pollution!It's our greedy companies that is going over to China to get things made cheap!Not filling seats!People in China would rather work than go to watch the Olympics.Tickets are costing a few months salary at least!What has Uk got,Chavs, Football Hooligans,Asbos,Rain,Traffic Jams, High Under Age Pregnancies,Road Works, Knife Crime, Our transposrt system is shit!

[actionsfurysroar]

Thumbs up to China our real friend for the best Olympics ever - from Pakistan

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

This is why NBC did a terrible job doing an opening ceremony special from 2 weeks ago and it was cut off due to the majority of the fireworks and performances, because they put too much commercials that are crap! Screw this! Can't wait for the closing ceremony tomorrow night, and let's hope if NBC will not interrupt by a commercial, if they go right into a commercial during the closing ceremony, I will be pissed. More fireworks, performances and the distinguish of the torch.

[brooklynuk]

At least the Chinese are human, not having deranged people like the west. Why? Cause westerners commit murders & rape, have peodophiles praying on the young, racism, gun & knife crime, and not pay the price for the wrong they have done. The west is corrupt. They are fighting in the Mid-East not for the sake of the people but for their oil reserves.. Is this what the west call 'human rights'???

[brooklynuk]

The Chinese have a history dating back 5000yrs. They're the most inventive, creative & talented race on earth. Inventing paper, writing, gunpowder, compass & many other things. The west invaded China to gain what they didn't have.

[ctap0703]

I don't care whether it is fake or not, it is a great show. Good job, China.

Actually the "fake' firework shows how high tech of what China has. Awesome!!!

[djefir]

am so with u! china presented the best olympic games so far! if u want to laugh watch athens 2004 or sydney 2000!

[rebeccachia]

in truth, most of the fireworks are fake. they are computerized and broadcasted on television. The people who were at the opening ceremony in the stadium didn't see much but those who saw it on their tv found it amazing

[obbymelons]

only a tiny bit fake?

[flylian]

yes

[obbymelons]

then is $300,000,000 (30mil) less than the ones in 2004 or 200? Answer is No.

(it was about 10 times the cost of Athens 2004)

[flylian]

hosting the 2004 Olympics has sucked $10-12 billion (in U.S. dollars)

[obbymelons]

yea... your saying for the entire olympics

And for hosting Beijing 2008 it costed 16bil .... so... who's more?

[flylian]

The $1.7 billion budget for the staging of the Sydney Olympic Games was clear

[obbymelons]

The total amount of the Games will be exposed afterwards. Beijing authorities have invested 280 billion yuans ($40.9 billion) in the development of the city infrastructure, the transport system and the ecology from 2001 to 2008.

[xuchao00007]

You must be learned this news from your omnipotent media! Have you watch this by yourself? Tell you, the fireworks are not fake!This night everyone who near the bird'nest saw the footprint fireworks!

[djefir]

ok... bye!

[rebeccachia]

ok, i give up! *hands held high* ok, that video is definately real..

[2roundup]

and nbc just took watever the fake stuff and broadcast it?

why dont ppl think before they talk?

[brooklynuk]

All of those who diss the Chinese - get a life. At least the Chinese are more human - They don't have deranged people like the west. Why? Cause people in the west are allowed to commit murders, have peodophiles who pray on the young, rape, racism, gun & knife crime, and not pay the price for the wrong they have done. The west is corrupt. They are fighting in the Mid-East not for the sake of the people but for their oil reserves..

[conorsteel]

Sorry, but there Human-Rights are terrible, and this video proves that the opening ceremony of the olympics they held was mostly a big shambles ,as ive seen fireworks better than that at the 5th Nov Bonfire Display.

[thetalentedmrman]

london uk will never match the beijing's cermony's EVER.

the opening ceremony was fucking amaaaazing.

it's going to be damn hard to top it.

they say the closing ceremony will be as good as the opening so i can't wait to see it.

!!!!!!!!

[flylian]

however, the total cost of opening and closing ceremony this time is much less than a single opening ceremony of 2004 or 2000 Olympics

[obbymelons]

LOL! Have u seen the cost?

[hock3yplaya7]

terrorist alert!! lol.

[ctap0703]

v432900 , Are you seriouly retarded? The whole world is watching the olympic, not Holly Wood movie. If you want a movie, go back to your"fake world"

[vuuse]

gun powder was a gift to the world from the chinese, but some idiots have claimed they were fake. how pathetic!

[0YueFei0]

fake better than claimed to be Korean.

Whoops I didn't say that

[hkhkhkhk91]

jackie chan in the opening

watch?v=mloNyZVkHPM&feature=re­lated

[nottypanda1]

I beg to differ. You can't soil the olympic experience by saying one act of violence represents the entire games.... And yeah man, when China spent over 40 billion US dollars to host this event and all supporting infrastcture... This may never be equaled in all humanity, because of all the unique circumstances. They came out to party baby.

[nottypanda1]

v432900 -You're not watching the olympics, you're looking at the world through rose colored glasses. The only thing that matters in the olympics are the athlete's performance. But you obviously are so fixated on window dressing, like you're staring at fake boobs. It's alright, your jealosy and ignorance has to come out in some manner. Have at 'er while China relishes on the fact they're putting on the best olympics ever.

[Motigflames]

2nd best ever.

Plenty of problems with this olympics. A big opening cermonies does not maker it the best.

Sydney was the best as no one was killed and the venues ran like water.

[0YueFei0]

Whether this is the best or not mon ami, is not up to you to decide, fortunately.

[v432900]

nottypanda..

Whatever... faked boobs, faked singer, faked weather, faked firework... They are all same kind (looks great but ain't real). THEY ARE FAKED!

Shut up and enjoy the faked show cos, I am enjoying it... LOL

[v432900]

socalazn

I thought I was watching Olympic but I was wrong. Thanks for remind me this olympic is faked movie from Chollywood.... LOL

[b1gJul1]

Shut up, China did a great job with the olympics

[alvan012]

beijing is a fantastic city surely every nation is polluted. anyway this is by far the best olympics so far...

[DBSchannel]

[v432900]

Are You Enjoying the Fake Olympics?

Faked weather - shut down all Beijing to create clean city(it isn't)

Faked free speech - Protesters were arrested and imprisoned before Olympic

Faked opening ceremony - 3D firework?

Internet access is censored - limited Access?

The singing was lip-synced by a pretty girl to replace an ugly girl - Chinese Millie Vanilli?

Swimmer Michael Phelps' food is fake - 12,000 calories a day?

Faled Ages/Passports - 13yrs old girl became 16 yrs old in few month?

[scotgame]

It is a performance, who cares? Please tell me American attacked iraq for what reasoons? are they truth or lies? please dont tell me you have nothing to do with american politics. Are you not american? If you hate fake staff, then go kill yourself. everything is fake in this money world

[socalazn168]

COme to Los Angeles where I live. Heavy summer smog fills our lovely skys with shitload of gas guzzling pick-ups and Hummers. Fake superficial celebrity wannabe people with fake boobs, fake botox, fake implants, fake face lift, fake weathly image with their nice cars and houses when they are in fact in $50,000 credit card debt.

[hock3yplaya7]

no one gives a shit!!!!!!!!!!

[vuuse]

v432900- look around you. everything are men made. do you call them faked? even you were manufactured by your mommy n daddy, are you considered faked or probably rejected human? get a life,ok?

[v432900]

vuuse

Do you even know what "Fake" means?

Look around you. You will see faked stuffs everywhere especially if you are in CHINA. LOL

[vuuse]

v432900, there are many forms of fake. e.g. u fight for iraqi people or iraqi oil?

[guy209]

yes wats ur point?

[v432900]

Whatever.. Chinese troops fired at Tibetan crowd and killed 140 people... Is that Chinese Olympic spirit? LOL

[brooklynuk]

Yeah WHATEVER! The west have killed thouasands in the Mid-East. At least the Chinese are human, not having deranged people like the west. Why? Cause westerners commit murders & rape, have peodophiles praying on the young, racism, gun & knife crime, and not pay the price for the wrong they have done. The west is corrupt. They are fighting in the Mid-East not for the sake of the people but for their oil reserves.. Is this what the west call 'human rights'???

[ctap0703]

brooklynuk: I totally agree with you. Great comments

[djefir]

what u talking about? u dumb! olympic game is a show! Tibet is social crisis! u mixed meat wit fruits in ur blender! some people still leaving the big life while others are dying at war. its like that! while some american athletes compete in the olympic games, american slodiers are killing and dying in iraq! if u want to change some, do it now!

[2roundup]

and did u get that fact from? ur precious and honorable western media? u r apparently someone who's never been to tibet or even china, and dont know dalai lama enjoyed rights like the first night of every single new bride in tibet before china took it over.

it's idiots like u that keep the big fat liar networks running

[djefir]

so even u dont know the real meaning of "fake", is stuffs in china are fake, then all stuffs in america are fake, coz they all come from china!

[v432900]

djefir,

U don't know how to google "fake" LOL.

How is recalled products doing in China?

[djefir]

they are doing good my friend, and china is getting even more richer!

[2roundup]

some ppl r just PROUD of their ignorance..

ever heard of something called trade war? and good thing that the biased coverage at least got some idiots like u..jeez..

[v432900]

No daults this is the best faked Olympic opening ceremony in history. Faked weather, faked firework, faked singer and other faked stuffs we don't know. I can't wait for faked closing ceremony.... LOL

[josalamtong]

how could weather be fake? and yea, all those 10K+ ppl performing live were 'faked' to. stupid americans

[v432900]

josalamtong, Here is one article just for you...

"Beijing is usually a smog pit with air so polluted that city-dwellers there almost never see the sun. To artificially clean up the air and create the image that Beijing is a clean city (it isn't), Chinese officials ordered to shut down Beijing to create the impression that it's a clean city, and when there's still smog, they just call it, "mist."

[josalamtong]

we all know beijing shut down some factories and control the number of cars on the street during olympics, there's no secret about it, and we are all proud of what the chinese government can do to minimize pollution. If you call this 'fake weather', yea it is 'fake weather' and btw, 1 plus billion ppl in china are cheering for their government despite your stupid opinion.

[hkhkhkhk91]

FOOTSTEP FIREWORKS

[brilliant1853]

grahpic?? lip synk girl ?? lol

[camillavo]

I think it is very pretty but what about all the little animals ? Shame :(

[Sirbohemond]

The fireworks were mostly real at the spot, only the international broadcast was 'spiced up' with a additional cgi-display. After all...this is a show! Great work China!

[x0dina]

pretty

[69franco]

yeah..of course who gets most of the gold,silver and the bronze? the rich,powerful nations of the world.and disqualify athletes that are professional.

[greatgamer1]

no the fireworks were real. if you went to beijing you would have saw it. but they just showed some different fireworks on TV (not all were fake on Tv) because of some safety reasons.

[SonjaTheBlond]

If you are Buddhist learn to NOT hate you moron

[socalazn168]

A faggot like you have the nerve to call me a hater. You bloody poms were the one who tried to steal the torch and boycott the Beijing Olympics and put Chinese people through hell. Now I'm just giving you people a taste of your own medicine so now you know what it feels like to have the table turn against you. Georgia is no Czeckoslovakia or Hungary and Russia is using this as excuse to act like they are USSR again.

[socalazn168]

Free Georgia from Russian invasion. Boycott Russia Winter Olympics in Sochi 2014.

[tamrix]

lol thats a while away.

[OMFGpl]

lol

[alfaceandrice]

I think the fake fireworks were the footprint ones that made the countdown to the start of the ceremony...

But it was a nice OC.

[abrahamadam2]

jesus, how the hell does china do that? Fake the ones on t.v.? I could see that carmony anywhere during the summer in my town.

[dkyilhkhor]

you may not know what you see on 4th is exactly made in China.

[RandomShortguy]

EVERYTHING is made in China! xD lol

[beeeees5]

Nice Job Chris.  See you SA next summer. Gary Thompson

[GodofGambler1978]

Maybe fake ones just the TV.

[NorChance]

I wonder which part was the faked fireworks?

[AndrewBrennan2008]
