the "rainforest" interpretation with the strings, and whatever else they used, that was all green and whatnot.. The lightning and choreography was pretty cool, imo.. I thought the way they depicted boats going to the area was pretty cool, with the bows dropping and smoke mimicking waves - pretty cool....

However, in their depictions, once "man" started infiltrating and building up the area, I wasn't impressed with the production, leading me to comment to my wife, "man moving in to an area always has a way of screwing things up"... not only screwing up a beautiful natural area, but apparently in the production of a depiction of that area, as well.. ..sigh...

But, overall, I thought they did a good job.. I'm sure they don't have the resources other countries do, but still cool.. I do wonder just HOW BIG can the opening ceremonies get? I mean, the production seems to get bigger, more complicated, and more expensive every Olympics.. Just how big can it get? How do you top the last production etc?
