2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony - part 8

[cttn101]

thanks for uploading 1- 8, would have been awesome if you had the entire show, not just snippets.!

China has major plannes for the end of this century, they know rome wasn't built over night, so they expect a century before they really do run this mother funken world. i believe china will colonise the other planets, and eventually find other civilised planets out there in space. not america. or europe.

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

szt269915, dude seriously, I was in Beijing when the Si Chuan earthquake happened. I would say the government did whatever it could've been done for the people in Si Chuan. It wasn't perfect, but it was a huge step.

[sureitan]

though i never been to china, i proud to be a chinese :)

[FogellofDot]

@szt269915 they arent part of our fucking country we dont pay for them democratic fag

[CanalNacionalRM]

oh f##k, you are under the calduron, but the ceremony are great, you have luck for watch in live the most wonderful olympic opening ceremony of the history of the Olympic Games

[szt269915]

It's awesome, but stupid gov used too much money about this kind of shit. This is kind of shame. Uesed 3% money to help poor Chinese people but used 97% money about Olympics. What gov did on the Si Chuan earthquake????? Hope Chinese Gov can do something for their people. Fuck.

[bjkenmt]

@szt269915 dude seriously, nothing against you personally. I was in the country when the Si Chuan earthquake happened. I would say the government did whatever they could've done for the people in Si Chuan. It wasn't perfect in some ways, but it was a huge step forward. Tons of man power and money went to Si Chuan for the rescue and recovery.

[ZhangtheGreat]

@szt269915, you realize that the government spent a huge amount on the earthquake victims, right? Heck, the rebuilding of the city took only a year after it was totally destroyed.

What did you expect to happen after a major earthquake? Everyone would be up on their feet in three months? No government can work miracles like that.

[debomarlisa]

spectacular but a bit boring for me

[ellier0215]

Is he on a harness?

[ilvtofku]

Let us not forget those idiots who were trying so hard to disrupt the torch relays around the world for their political agendas.

[bushangels]

Vancouver is such a joke...so dissapointed

[princedanielle]

Yea but it's Winter Olympics, I'm sure most ppl in the world don't even know what curling is

[ran0010]

The show was spectacular, but it was super super humid and hot inside the stadium. Everyone had fans and were sweating. Still worth it though.

[huowa222]

@ran0010 cool comment!!!

[fordey39]

2 more years London. I hope you are working on it. It's your time to shine. Don't let us down!!!

[princedanielle]

I would like to see London comping up with a different concept other than Unity, Equality etc. Go Green sounds like a good idea, i'm sure the rest of the world will love it

[pandzida98765]

Beautifull music.

[888reventon]

Awesome, the greatest opening ceremony in history. I also love the children singing as the background muslc.

[physcic1900]

lets see london top this

[Sh4dowGin]

london really needs to step up after this....best opening of all time

[princedanielle]

it's impossible for London to come up with something so remarkable, stunning and beautiful. If UK has a budget over 1 billion pounds for this, the bill wont' get passed.

[mikeman139]

is he super man lol to dramatic =] =]

[22572008]

@mikeman139

there is one thing we call it "imagination". we think it is quite important.

[princedanielle]

Spider man xD

[Namlahfeliz]

impresionante

[Yoshi11583]

I love how they show clips of the torch relay on the scroll. I like to see London even try to top China.

[alexander31332334]

your'e inside the Bird's Nest stadium?

[torontocritic]

the most fabulous and exquisite opening ceremony ever.

[GaryWeichannel]

@torontocritic thanyou for your comment, I can see that you are Canadian. I liked the Vancouver olympics too, it was very exciting.

[stonebridge001]

This opening ceremony couldn't possibly reach higher. lol!

[RedFoxAce]

Is the spotlight meant to resemble the moon, kind of like Chang-E, the lunar princess? and Li Ning is walking with the moon?

[leechoonkin]

Haha great thinking but they mayb juz put the light for us to notice him

[RedFoxAce]

Huh. I was certain that it was meant to resemble the moon! =) oh well.

[Clamhead939]

Awesome Footage!!! ^____^ My jaw dropped when I realized that they were going to drag him through the air, lol.

Amazing Opening Ceremony! :D

[StalwartSpirit]

Oh dear, YOU ARE RIGHT UNDER THE FIRE CAULDRON. That's too bad. You should have surveyed first! Too bad... I feel so sorry for you.

[HanmoLi]

it's not like i had a choice with the seat selection. i'm just glad i actually had a ticket!

[StalwartSpirit]

Even with the ticket you could still choose to sit anywhere right? Or does the ticket has seat numbers on it?

[HanmoLi]

no, the seats are pre-assigned. the tickets were all assigned to each person by lottery, so it was totally random -- no selection whatsoever. we basically requested tickets for level B, and hoped for the best, and i guess i got lucky hehe.

[StalwartSpirit]

Hope you'll be luckier in the next olympics. I'll go there too if only I am not poor! Heehee...

[Moonraker0022]

Please take me with you! I want to work for Chicago 2016 so i'd get a spot or at least be at some events!!! great video!

[TheNYFlame]

Magic!

[qwerty3862]

how come you dont have the torch lighting was it cuz ur under the cauldron

[HanmoLi]

yeah i was sitting underneath it, unfortunately

[qwerty3862]

f**k that must of been well annoying i always felt sorry for the people sitting on the other side of the stadium where you cant see the cauldron

[HanmoLi]

yeah that was unfortunate, but it was still so amazing to just be there. one little thing doesn't really take away anything from the whole experience.

[qwerty3862]

i agree, i watched it on tv and it was still an experience let alone being there!

[kevinwashere12345]

i was there! thanks for posting! :D

[SSBbrawler11]

Holy shit. how much was that trip and how long did you stay!?

[kevinwashere12345]

I stayed from the opening ceremony day to closing ceremony day lots of fun! :D

[SSBbrawler11]

Holy shit.... that would be my dream. what country do you live in!?

[kevinwashere12345]

Now I live in the united states
