Vancouver 2010 opening ceremonies

This video comes straight from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic ceremonies held in Vancouver. The Olympic commitee from Vancouver 2010 created this opening ceremony and then applied it for millions of people to watch live. This production appeals to me because since it was from Canada and so am I it was very interesting to watch and support your country from across its land. I liked how the presentation was set up, it really showed alot about Canadians and its history and how Canada came to be. The thing I did not like was how one of the flames arms malfunctioned during its rising to the occasion, but technology is not perfect. The audience is intended to those who wanted to follow the olympics and to those who wanted to support their country and watch it for no sake at all. The text told a very big story, it celebrated the opening ceremonies to the Olympics held in Vancouver but it also had an opportunity to take time to show off what Canada is all about. This is a World story news story, it showed the best winter atheltes in the World coming together to compete and to enjoy the time in Vancouver. The reason I chose this topic was because it touched me probably more than anyone close to me. I had the opportunity to head to the Olympics for a week. Though I wasn't their for the opening ceremonies, I chose the video because it brought our country together to welcome the world to our soil. I had a chance to see 2 hockey venues and a curling one. I had an opportunity to see Switzerland and Belarus play a hockey match. The curling I was able to see was the Canadian womens team that won silver, play Sweden. There were also other on going curling games but that was the most memorable one. Then I got to see the team that impressed us all the Men's Canadian hockey team. It was a luck of the draw that we got to see them we bought tickets for the Qualifying rounds and since Canada lost a couple days before we lucked out and got to see them play the gritty German's. It was truly a once in a lifetime chance to be at the Olympics, and I lucked out to see the best team from Canada win gold later on at the Olympics. The atmosphere in Vancouver was exciting, everywhere you went you could feel the hype of the Olympics and what it felt like to be Canadian. It truly brought Canada together then, but now you don't even hear a word about it. It really is sad to think it went from hype to nothing so fast. It was a great February and I'm glad I was able to see Bobby Lou and the guys play the game I lucked out to see.
