Probably one of the worst opening ceremony evern I’m so disapointed 😭😭 (Gojira and Celine were cool tho, also the minions)
The opening was exactly as I expected from the French
It was amazing, love Philippe Katerine
Ca c’est ma France
I was out drinking and dancing in the rain, so I didn’t watch it. But everyone and their mother are going apeshit over it so I like it per default.
Best opening ceremony ever.
All the boomers and rednecks in my country are ranting about it 0-24 so it totally worthed it
Shameful display! WTF is wrong with you Pierre?
France is a meme country confirmed once more?
Philippe Catherine is goated.
But I don’t know if his eccentricity is suited for the Olympics games.
I got mixed reactions from watching this. I am curious to see how it will age.
I don’t know why everyone is so fixated on the blue smurf and the LGBTIQ++ scene. It didn’t to much for me, but I can’t get riled up by it. Had my kids watch it with me and they weren’t shocked either.
I really liked the rest of the show, the boat parade, the silver horse on the Seine, Gojira, the illumination of Eiffel tower.
To me, it was one of the better opening ceremonies.
EDIT: To me, it was very French, and I don’t mean in a bad way. The Pont Neuf tricolore color explosion or the lady singing the anthem from a roof or the decapitated singers is something that Germans never would do, but I found it very fitting for France. They are just more bold and sometimes that comes over as weird.
Me, personally, would have given less time to the “alternative last supper” and more to Gojira. Maybe I would have made it less Parisian and given time for the various provinces to present themselves, but I guess that’s also very French, the way they are centralized.
That was so out of left field that it was hilarious.
Relief that it was worse than London’s.
But I thought it was pretty good overall. Gay smurfs were a small part of the show and basically a sideshow compared to parkour knight Ezio riding down the Seine or the Eiffel Tower lighting up. Most opening ceremonies have healthy doses of cringe (remember that time we did a whole segment about the NHS?) and I expect nothing less from the frogs.
7/10.
Well they’re not allowed to parody a certain other religion anymore, so it’s the safe choice.
Christians aren’t gonna do anything besides be upset.
I don’t speak French, but I’m going to guess they were saying something along the lines of: The whole world is watching us, and this is the shit they come up with? I’m embarrassed.
The opening was so boring in general, my attention got lost. I did of course miss this gem.
Would probably have still been “ok, another scene, keep moving”.
non mais laissez-moi, non mais laissez-moi…
I have zero interest in the Olympics – to my mind it’s a competition about whose doctors are better at cheating anti-doping measures mostly – but this seems to have annoyed basically everybody I dislike to no end, so…
Vive la France, I guess.
I am legit proud the fuck out this ceremony
Can someone translate? I don’t speak baguette
of course i didn’t watch it but i appreciate the memes, thanks Pierre
We rather had Mohammed…
I missed watching it, and apparently it’s gone from the internet now. Is it available somewhere?
I just wish I was in the meeting where they decided this was a good idea. Jan must have supplied the pre-meeting entertainment.
A la merde!
I thought it was Jim Lahey from trailer park boys. Then i realised it was just some weird french cunt
French people brainstorming for the Olympics:
“We are known for surendering and being gay… Gay it is then”
To be honest its freaking amazing. France has a long and proud tradition of freedom of speech, blasphemy and vulgarity. Going all in when it comes to the Olympics is such a French thing to do – And that’s why it works!
When other countries start stealing the idea of having a city wide ceremony everyone will forget the gay stuff and credit the French.
The trolls and west=woke=bad are drilling down insanely with this shit.
Good.
Shit? Uncultured swine. Team Dionysus.
I thought it was a bit boring and sacked it off half way through so missed the end, but when I saw all the Smurf guy memes I genuinely thought it must be an old Eurotrash bit. Sounds like I went to the pub too early.
Nothing new France came up with those shitty ideas, they don’t care about their reputation anymore. I was expecting already them to make fun of christianity because it’s safe for them to do that except any other religion, and if they did, it would be them the disrespectful ones. But i wasn’t expecting exactly mock the last supper.
