What the hell is the opening ceremony of the Japanese Olympic Games?
The opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics on the evening of July 23,2021 had many surprises. From the content of the performance, there were some incomprehensible elements such as a huge head in the air. During the opening ceremony, there was an unexpected situation. When the athletes from all over the world entered the stadium, it suddenly rained heavily. The large outdoor LED display screen in the main venue was flooded by rainwater due to the heavy rain and poor drainage. The rainwater poured into the equipment, causing snowflakes to appear on the screen, blurring it until it completely went out. Although the organizing committee took measures such as shutting down the power supply and repairing it, it took nearly an hour to recover. However, this process made the audience only listen to the broadcast, and the global audience could not watch the video normally. All of these situations caused the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics to be controversial and ridiculed.

The opening ceremony of the French Olympic Games was a pain in the eyes
This statement was rather subjective. The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics had many unique features: - It was a great breakthrough in innovation. For the first time, the opening ceremony was held outside the stadium with the Seine River as the stage, breaking the traditional restrictions. It also allowed more spectators to participate for free, integrating the Olympics into the city and reflecting the concept of connection in the Olympic spirit. - In terms of cultural display, historical sites along the Seine River such as Notre-Dame de Paris and the Louvre Museum were fully utilized, and art forms such as opera and movies were combined to present a "drama feast" integrating art and the city, which well displayed the French cultural heritage. - The delegation's entrance, the Olympic torch relay, and the opening ceremony performance were used to enrich the content and level. - It emphasized "her power" and demonstrated gender equality by raising a female pioneer statue. - The light show combined with the performance, perfectly integrating technology and art. Despite the rain, it also showed a combination of tenacity and romance. In the end, the sports legend lit the hot air balloon at the top of the main torch and lit up the entire city. Of course, some people might feel that it was "eye-piercing" because of their personal values or because they didn't agree with some of the elements (such as the presentation of the LMT-related elements mentioned in Resource 2). However, from the perspective of the overall creativity, cultural display, and the transmission of the Olympic spirit, there were many things worthy of recognition.
