I've watched the whole of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony and honestly have to say the following. Paris is a great city with old refined culture. So many good things were there at the opening, not only something disgusting. Let’s be honest. I can imagine how much work was done for the Opening ceremony; so many people worked hard to make the ceremony as good as possible. First, what I liked is:
1. Beautifully decorated Paris. “This is your city for the next 16 days!”, all the athletes and spectators are welcome.
2. The boats sailing on the Seine with cheerful athletes.
3. A rock band playing on the walls and the opera lady singer.
4. The mysterious guy running with the torch with his face covered.
5. The cartoon with minions doing some sports on a submarine, it was hilarious.
6. A gorgeous black woman singing La Marseillaise on the top of the building.
7. The idea to praise great women in the French history.
8. The episode with a dancer/singer wearing a white costume, the baroque style singing and music.
9. Multiple acrobats performing on green colour platforms on the Seine.
10. The disabled people performing at the catwalk, really representing “inclusivity”.
11. The silver horse ride on the Seine. It generates many ideas and allegories.
12. The black and white footage of 1924 Paris Olympics.
13. The athletes with flags of their countries near the Eifel Tower and then the serene ride of a warrior on a white horse.
14. The raft with bonfire calling for peace on the planet.
15. The anthem of the Olympics sung in the rain.
16. The Refugee Olympic Team episode.
What I didn’t like:
1. “Bloody” performance with lots of blood-like red liquid pouring down on viewers; beheaded people in the windows. Yes, it’s part of the French history, but what’s the need to show beheaded monarchs in this context? Everyone knows they were beheaded. Almost all countries had some bloody episodes in their history. Should it be brought out at the Olympics?
2. The figures of the great women of France emerging from some grey boxes - it looked very cheap. The organisers of the show could have shown the photos or portraits of those great women on a large display, which would have looked much better, in my opinion. Again, the idea is noble and deserves respect. Women should never be underestimated! I always stand for women’s rights. Nevertheless, what about the great men of France? They were kind of discriminated in the ceremony. For a balance, at least a couple of great men could be mentioned, too. :)
3. “Threesome” story in a library and then those three running together to a room to make love. It looked imposing and out of place. Is there really a need to bring this out or promote? Those who want threesome will do it anyway. :)
4. Why did one of the balls rolled out of the pants of one of the male dancers dressed in black and remained like that during that part where the “blue” guy played the role of Dionysus? That’s a mystery. Like ancient Greek mysteries of god Dionysus, too. :) Nothing scary, but it should have been blurred at least. The ball was very visible.
5. They overdid it a bit with LGBT and trans thing at the catwalk show and a few videos. No, I’m not a homophobe. :)
6. There should have been more focus on sports and athletes. It’s the Olympics, after all.

Regarding the notorious mock of the Last Supper. Well, after seeing the show more attentively, I can say that it’s disputable. I counted 16 people on both sides of that full-sized woman wearing a strange-looking russian-like hat. Around Jesus there were 12 apostles, not 16, right? So, was it really a parody of the Last Supper? Should any group of 13 or more people standing at a table be always considered as a mock of the Last Supper? Apart from that, even Leonardo showed some inaccuracy in his painting as it’s said in the Bible that Jesus and the apostles were half-reclining while taking food at the Last Supper (see the texts of the Gospels of the Bible). It was traditional in Rome and other lands in those times to recline while dining. Jesus and the apostles were not standing at the table. And even if that chubby woman at the opening ceremony represented Jesus, perhaps for a mock it would have been better (from the mockers’ view) to place there a bearded trans? Next, when it comes to the Greek god of wine and pleasure Dionysus, played by a chap painted in blue, which was also extensively criticized, I guess in Ancient Greece they had much weirder performances. You would be shocked to see that now, some 27 centuries after the first games in Olympia, Greece. Or should we then forget where the Olympic Games started? Then you’d have to change the name “Olympics” to something else. Perhaps “Holy Runs”. No, I’m not against Christianity or any other religion until it becomes violent and imposing. Personally I didn’t like the whole of the catwalk show, including that blue guy playing Dionysus, it looked cheap and vulgar to me, with all that artificial fruit arrangement as his bed. But in my opinion there was nothing terribly bad in the opening ceremony, except for some parts. The overall message for peace and against any hatred was quite appropriate. And the show in general was impressive and matching the Parisienne style. Definitely, dictators sending their troops to kill people in neighbouring countries are incomparably (IMCOMPARABLY!) worse than just some flaws in shows at opening ceremonies. It’s great to see hard-working people from more than 200 countries competing with each other in a peaceful way, according to rules, not attacking and killing each other. Thank you France! I’m watching some parts of the Olympic games on the Eurosport TV channel with great pleasure.

Le fait que la pluie s'arrête quand Céline Dion c'est une masterclass 😂

[kalinesaulnier]

Pari réussi ❤ c'était grandiose le Monde dans le monde ❤ Merci ! Et bonne chance à tous les athlètes!

To understand the genius of this show, you have to watch the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Paris, with its history and spirit of freedom, became an arena for love and pluralism, while in Beijing we were shown a soulless, obedient humanoid machine.

Un mélange magnifique et très émouvant ❤

[paulaymericrodrigues]

Avec Céline Dion c'est pour moi le plus beau moment de la cérémonie.
Merci Axelle Saint Cirel pour cette Marseillaise chanté sous la pluie et seul.
Quelle performance.
