我今天又翻看了，已經看了不知多少次，很感動

08年过去了很久，但我很怀念。

哥 喔昨天也看哭了😢

在习近平死亡之前，你还是祈祷太阳从西边出来，比较现实

@@leonyang8970的确很怀念，那时我还很年轻，年轻到虽然看了开幕式，却觉得它棒得那么理所当然（因为咱国家大小event晚会从来都做得太好了）

We can never forget the greatest opening ceremony ever!

It will never be forgotten because it is the Best ceremony

This was the most memorable and amazing of them all.

Nothing better than this Olympic opening.

This is such a legend. People that watched it won't forget. Same as the Japanese one. It's quite...amazing...ly unforgettable.

Same to me

Beautifully put.

Dear friend, the winter Olympics will be held in Beijing next year, and as a Chinese myself, I bet it will definitely be another amazing show! China will never disappoint you ♥

i remember too. had boosebumps then, still do now while watching lol.

I remember being 12 years old in front of the TV with my parents

Yup. I remembered too... magnificent

Beijing Olympics opening ceremony was an eye opener and epically put Europeans & Americans in their places. They finally realized what it feels like to be that "hare" in the The Hare and The Tortoise Story.

Agreed, you’re cool for this comment :)

Similar? Are you kidding me?

London 2012 - best opening ceremony

那年我才7岁❤错过了

@@user-yh4pu9xj7b 错过就再看一遍

13 years ago......

It's true.

The message is the most important, which is peace. We address that too many times and the world is still fall into suspicious and we still beat each other, we didn't help each other faced with disaster. Useless, totally. In 2008, at least we have hope, and what we have now.

Athens: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And it was a live show, no second take, no NG!!

hahahahha

@@yourlovelyduck_1306 so, if you can't host the Olympic Games well, why do you insist on holding it?

kkkkkkk

@@xianzhe5612 別太杠，觀感不好，自豪即可

@@xianzhe5612 so they should cancel the olympics because the opening ceremony was lame????

Came here after a decade, can’t believe still a amazing to watch in 2021!!!

You are not alone bro.

Tokyo 2021 is not an opening, it's a closing, a funeral, too scary and confusing

抱着很大的兴趣观看了东京奥运会开幕式，说句实话看完感到生理不适，日本人想表达什么？把核电站污染物质排进大海后世界充满了变异的生物吗？一点都不美，看完东京奥运开幕式后你会获得焦虑症和抑郁症，我不喜欢，我喜欢北京奥运会开幕式，北京奥运会开幕式会让你觉得希望已经在路上向你奔来！😂

@Webz Gaming well you can see other comments, if you say that, those will all be fake

@Webz Gaming yeah，fake a olympic opening ceremony，do you even know how hard is it？it is hard than fake going to the moon，because the whole world is watching，every single viewer，every single player，all kind news company，it is impossible to fake it

@Webz Gaming what a loser

@Webz Gaming the only word you can describe is fake, so I do pity you

Made in China.

I think you mean Britain, not Great Britain..

Greece is always first

I agree 💯! Also to me, it was the best OLYMPIAN PERIOD! THE OPENING WERE TRIUMPHANT! BETTER THAN THE ONE HOME here in Georgia (Atlanta) 🤫🤗

Without a doubt the greatest Olympics opening ceremony with the Bird's Nest Stadium the greatest in terms of architectural design. I'm expecting big things from Tokyo next year.

I second u!

Too bad they couldn't use real fireworks in the opening. At 14:05

Chris Humble that firework is real! I’ve watched a documentary about how they prepare this opening ceremony, and one part of the video shows how they do the fireworks.

how soon

me too :-)

各种版本捋了一遍

Still the most amazing opening ceremony I've ever seen until china hosts again probably.

I'm here! What an awesome gala in that summer for a country recently recovered from a catastrophic earthquake 3 months ago. Indeed they'd overcome another crisis as the global finance turnmoil soared 3 months after. Looks as if everything was under control by the regime albeit the numerous disturbances and containments from the west since then. Salute to the Chinese people!

The quake was just in a specific point , not in the vital cities like Beijing and Shanghai. and the whole China's territorry its colossal.

汶川 sad

@@bublegumjp A national disaster tho

I had been to 汶川 last week, their homeland have been rebuilt and those who live in the mountains moved to small towns.

And the worst snow in the south in a hundred years as well as the global financial crisis that year.

ye, cause Japan's ceremony is so confusing and weird XD

Same,, tokyo opening is great. And the china opening also is great and cannot be forgotten

Same here - watch Beijing again after watched Japan’s opening 😂

Amazing ！

Yes

😂😂

i think so

🤧

Me too! I was 12 and was like wow. I'm now 24, and this still is the best!

Yea, back at 2008 I was just a little kid now an grownup. So many years past, still think this is the most splendid one.

Me too! 😁

@@Neo-Reloaded Taiwan is Chinese

@@Neo-Reloaded I think this video should not involve politics. Taiwan belongs to China. What is interesting is that as far as I know this is a fact written in the Taiwanese Constitution. I think that their participation in the Olympics as Chinese Taipei has demonstrated our respect, because Taiwan is only a province to mainland China.

@@Neo-Reloaded learn some history and go back to see how ignorant your comment was

Totally agreed👍

You forgot that we are in the middle of pandemic, how come you didn't realize that!

Agreee

true

London set the bar higher

The "earth" one would never be reach. How about a shadow show on the moon surface? We can put the word "peace" in all the nations words on the moon for a 24 hrs show, and all human beings can watch the live show in the sky.

@@tommy_0502 not even close lol

@@tommy_0502 keep dreaming. The London ceremony was pathetically comedic.

Well, a best is to be bested...wait and see the Beijing Olympics 2022 Opening Ceremony

Totally agreed. It made me want to watch the 2008 Olympic again.

Yes… I’m Japanese and I respect China😂

@@ruka1712 It's fine~ I think the drones part is beautiful and sports icon part cute.

Indeed !! I'm really disappointed

Apart from the drone display, this is more fun to watch.

Maybe it's the culture

more like history lol i was excited to watch, but when it ended i was so disappointed cause nothing i expected or wanted to see appeared or happened at all 😔🙁🤦🏻‍♂️

agree

Japan is a an anime cult country

how could they not have had at least Mario or Pokemon or any of the Nintendo characters make an appearance 🤷🏻‍♂️, thats what Japan is most famous for, omg so disappointing nothing else to say 🙁😟😬

special thanks to Japan

你这是什么意思？ 你上次不是说你不会忘记天安门而且必定找回民主主义吗。

I've never watched it, I was too little, but my sisters said it was the best. Seeing it now, I can definitely admit that nothing comes close to it. It's awesome.

Absolutely!

Couldn't have said it any better :)

Yes this was fantastic. London 2012 was also great.

👍🇨🇳

Everyone who has clicked this video is watching in 2019....

Similar to Athens 2004.

Ils étaient à deux doigts de foutre un gars porter la flamme olympique... Parce qu'il brulait sa chambre avec du sable.

I have a really high expectation for Tokyo. I'm quite sure Japanese will do incredibly well. But now it's not going to happen...

@@luoluoye9620 they postponed it to July 2021

Sabrina Ghostblade it’s already canceled.

@@sabrinaghostblade3948 I heard they're postponing it to 2032.

@Ham Sammich It's bad but it's actually not as bad as what it appears to be. The girl on the stage and the singing girl BOTH made it to the final round of selection. The director had to pick one between them, and he preferred the singing girl. But that girl lost a tooth when the olympic opening ceremony was approaching. So he came up with that idea. It's not like 'the director liked her voice, but she was too ugly to be on the stage so he found another girl'. It's more complicated than that.

Tokyo, Japan; Paris, France; and Los Angeles. USA will be hosting the next three Olympic Games in the summer.

Thanks

Thank you!!

谢谢你。

thanks! you're the real MVP !

lol 5 spices. Thanks for your service!

5 spices 笑死我了，hahahaha，过于Chlish

hats off

Thank you !

Good I'm 8 year old and watching on TV in India

Very sad compared to the usual spectacle

Beijing is the best opening ceremony ever! Just came here from Tokyo… come on.. it’s like a funeral!!!! Or it’s like a memorise ceremony to death!

It seriously should’ve been postponed until next year

Look like they don’t want to make a competition

because of covid19……

Yes,lol he is famous director

I’d have to argue that it’s Athens 2004

Actually London is more professional and I like sense of humor in it. Beijing is certainly my second favourite, but London had the Queen, mr bean, best music and the event had more scale than beijing

@@dennis4088 Beijing olympics number one

@@dennis4088 Beijing is definitely the number one. Anthems is Number 2. London?! Meh…. When is London… cannot even remember what is it…

@@dennis4088 more scale than the ceremony that involved tens of thousands actors and other workers to pull off, yeah try again mate

It's pure people power. So much discipline and synchronization. Just bloody awe-inspiring.

Restore the 1912 Republic and the nation will be united!

Arya Lhasa can you think logical that how a country can achieve so much if the human rights are not protected！as far as i know there are a lot terrorist attacks there before. There are 2 documentaries you could watch ,called “fighting terrorists in xingjiang, made by Chinese government, you could skip what they say, just see the terrorises killing innocent people in streets, which caught by cameras, those are real things!!!! I have been in xiangjiang and Tibet both, all i can say is Chinese use different way to solve terroism problem. Say us try to solve this problem as well in the Mideast, and accidentlly, they got thousands of normal people killed.....chinese way is ， they found a lot of terroists become part of tourists group is because they did not go to school and poverty，but the irony is that chinese give them high degree of autonomy，and islamic tradition is the kids do not go to modern school instead of study quran in Islam temple ······· of course will be hard for them to merge into modern society...... so now chinese govn let kids go to school free and adult go to profession skills training school so they can find a job later......i think chinese govn do use some force to ask them to go to this training center， but there is no better way so far～～in the west valve，of course this is violate human rights～～～they could argue “ i have the right not to let my kids go to school～or i have the rights to remain poor～it is hard to say～a very important is that China has thousands of years civilization，they have their own life philosophy (Confucianism ,daoism so on)as you could see some from this ceremony，again， very different from west～so it is up to which perspective do you take to see this， from the west，it is no human rights，from their own way，they are help their own people to have a better life and share the dividends of modern china.....one more background, for example, Europe never a unity state, but most time China always a unity country since 221 bc.....and their gdp is the highest in the world until 1890（uk beat china up in 1840 for sell opium to chinese to make money）.....my English is not very good but i hope I express well ....if people understand their culture philosophies, what they did will make so much sense ~~~

Arya Lhasa I can see that you’re a nice people but too bad you’re also quite naive to trust the what the media tells you.

@Arya Lhasa You're heavily naive if you believe those American imperialist reports while turning a blind eye to genocides and invasions carried out by America in the middle east. Get educated
