The Beijing one was demonstrating the chinese culture. I don't think it is as robotic as ricrick described. Beijing had more budget, so it was able to produce more "wow" factors.
Vancouver one, we actually know the people in the ceremony and we heard more about it on the news. I feel I am involved in it more.
Both are good, but I enjoyed the Vancouver one more. ^^
i went to watch the vancouver one live
it was very well done
butttt I still think the Beijing one was better... it was well executed and flawless... made me a very proud chinese
this is expected tho.. considering the amount of money china used and the amount of people that volunteered... I wouldnt expect Vancouver to do better
I like the Beijing one better.
Vancouver's too simple, not worth to pay thousand dollars to watch that show. Especially the closing one. What a joke, put all the huge hard board out and too messy
The Beijing one was way better. The performance in Beijing was so joyful and showed the Chinese are proud of their culture.The Vancouver was good as well, but winter Olympics just cannot compare with summer Olympics. So the question of which is better, does not make sense at all.
All Olympics opening ceremonies demand a lot of money. But China had to make sure it was very good. What if was not good enough? The western media would be bashing and picking on China.
