After watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, I am really disappointed with Zhang Yimou.

After watching the entire opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the biggest feeling is messy. Zhang Yimou wants to convey too many Chinese elements in the artistic performance of the opening ceremony, which results in neglecting one thing while attending to another.

The "Qiao" drum at the beginning was still eye-catching, but that drum has long been no longer the Chinese big drum we are familiar with, but has become a shape similar to the bronze tripod. The movable type printing did not consider the viewing angle of the audience. When the word "harmony" appeared, the audience around could not see clearly what the word was. Even if we watch it on TV, we can only distinguish it from the vertical lens above.
