Thai Chi was used for medicine believing that energy permeates and must be balanced. The circles of Thai Chi masters embraced a classroom of children.
This was a reaffirmation that the future would be protected. On the screens, it showed images of hopeful times. Again, a delicate waterfall represented the delicate and calm Taoist philosophy.
This scene led to the next when the LED displayed the galaxy with lights. The whale again implied transoceanic relations, but this time topped off with giant pictures of children held by Chinese children waving them. Although some issues maybe brought up, the stunning and electrifying opening was followed by the symbolism and hope of a better world.
In my opinion, Yi Mon did an extraordinary job that was out-of-this-world. His willingness to take risks and his imagination were revealed with magnificent grace and glory. Yi Mon, his staff, and all the performers deserve honor and a place in art for the Olympic Opening Ceremony.
Even in the Parade of Nations, he continued his art with giant inkpads where the athletes, their representatives, and the Chinese women leading them in would leave their mark. They walked on the giant rainbow inkpads and then walked on the paper.
This paper and the painting done earlier will be toured throughout the world later on. I was tired and only could stay up to watch part of the Parade of Nations.
Each nation was led in by a beautiful Chinese women dressed in red. The first nation in was Greece, but once Mexico came in, I went to sleep. It is startling the contrast of a country preparing for the Olympic games. So much time and money is spent in fixing up and adding glamour to a hosting city, or country. A high-speed train whisks passengers between Beijing and neighboring Tianjin, and express route to the airport by subway has been added, along with two more lines.
Ultra-modern sports for the Olympics require special facilities. This will really change the cultural fabric of Chinese urban society. The protests that follow that mandatory action of moving is quickly masked by media. Also, the loss of jobs because factories are forced to close to improve air quality to reduce the pollution for the Olympic games seem to be swept under the rug.
Long lasting impact is never really thought about until it becomes a problem for the government. Okay, the Olympic ceremoney was AMAZING, and NPR had some great follow up interviews with local citizens, I was pleased with how they thought the historical background added to the ceremony gave their citizens a sense of pride and hope for the future of their country. Although one interviewee mentioned how some foreigners might not understand the significance.
Kudos to the Chinese Olympic Committee. Does anyone understand why China is trying desperately to change its image with this year's Olypmic games, when its people keeps making it difficult for any change? Take for example Yao Ming and his desperate struggle to step down from playing basketball because of his many injuries. Sports on Aug 10, It was really disturbing how much Yao Ming is swimming upstream within his own country sort to speak.
I wonder how much intimidation is placed in the minds of the Chinese people from the government. She's a true leader and a hero, making her the character most worthy of embodying the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon. Also, the fact that Mushu is a dragon may be a nod to the fact that, while Mulan is a mighty force on her own, she requires a little bit of guidance to be whole and achieve her goals.
Ultimately, this would mean that Mushu couldn't awaken the Great Stone Dragon because it was awake all along. In this way, Mulan and the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon are one and the same, and that's just one more reason I'm proud to call this rebellious Disney princess my favorite.
