How do foreigners view the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympic Games?

There are a lot of noises and questions on the Internet. Many netizens complained that the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games was not atmospheric enough and the lights were dim. Most of the performances were long speeches, and only a few of them were not bad, which caused a lot of hot discussion on the Internet.

Judging from the opening ceremony, it is still the "minimalist style" that Japanese people like, and the performance is somewhat "petty". The original color scheme is elegant and the stage is bright and dark, so some performances are gloomy.

Many performances of the opening ceremony last night were vomited by many netizens, and they were questioned in terms of modeling, stage and scale. Even the most important lighting ceremony has nothing to see. At the opening ceremonies of previous Olympic Games, the ceremony of lighting the flame was the highlight, and the way torchbearers lit the flame attracted much attention and expectation. However, the ignition ceremony of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games last night was really nothing to see, which made many netizens feel very disappointed.

Without an audience, it's still wonderful:

According to the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, although there will be no audience, we can still see the fireworks show, and the athletes enter the stadium and hear their cheers.

Unprecedented two standard bearers:

In this Tokyo Olympic Games, each delegation will allow two athletes (a man and a woman) to raise the flag at the same time to promote the principle of "gender equality" advocated by the International Olympic Committee.

The swearing-in ceremony is different:

Compared with previous Olympic Games, the most symbolic and important swearing-in link at this year's opening ceremony will also be greatly changed. In this Tokyo Olympic Games, in order to emphasize the importance of unity, tolerance, non-discrimination and equality, the Olympic oath was greatly revised. In addition, the number of people taking the oath has also increased from 3 to 6, including 2 athletes, 2 coaches and 2 referees.

Literary expression, the pursuit of simplicity;

When the flame came to the Olympic Stadium and the main Olympic torch tower was lit, it was time for the opening ceremony.

According to Japanese media reports, the opening ceremony may be simplified due to the one-year delay of the COVID-19 Olympic Games. Hideki Nakamura, the official in charge of hosting the Olympic Games of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, stressed to the media on July 14: "Under the epidemic, the form of the world has become simple and simple, and the performance of the opening and closing ceremonies will also change from dazzling to more direct and frank expression of ideas."
