I have no idea why I decided to watch the entire 2012 Opening Ceremony at the end of April 2024, but here I am.
I watch it a couple times a year. But here in April 2024 the UK seems so different to that time. We weren't so fractured then. I held a house party with my friends and my housemate friends we didn't all know each other but we had a great time watching. Nostalgia I suppose.
I'm with you... always look forward to summer Olympics
I’m looking for demonic performance as we’ve never seen.
Me neither haha!
Me neither :)
Anyone watching in May 2024?
Just watched. Not sure why. Haha
Absolutely me😁
Pay attention on the details,something is really wrong here.. 44:20 keep watching and It’ll be clearly obvious!
Lol ye. For a class assignment
Yes sir for lirning 😢
The industrialisation part is still one of the most epic productions for an opening ceremony how it ended with the rings as well gives me goosebumps 10 yrs later still
Spot on.
I choke up every time!
Likewise for the petals merging for the flame.

Probably you have the right intuition that guides you to read behind symbols. Go to 49min on this video, watch for fews min. It's a strange coincidence with the situation we are living now.

Coz of the Corona Ritual.
Watching the preview of what is being planned for 2020 maybe.. The olympics with Health Care "heros" and children... Mmm aren't Athelets Healthy? Why would they need a Dr? Other than for a cast and back alignments? Did you see the little corona virus symbol in the lights?
This is better than Tokyo I think
Absolutely
Obviously

私もそう思う。I think so too from Japan
Even after so many years, it still leaves me breathless... It's still the best opening ceremony for me.
The only one that can beat this was asian games 2018 opening.
2012 indeed has the best opening ceremony.
It was truly outstanding.
👨🏻🎨
The opening 34 mins of this gets me every time, just the most fantastic opening to an opening ceremony ever, the performances, Music, choreography and story told is just perfect. the lighting of the torch and the entrance of Redgrave through a crowd of the workers who built the park another beautiful moment. Underworld who did the music for all this deserve huge credit.

보통 올림픽 개회식을 볼 때 기대하는건 그 나라만의 색다르고 신선한 무언가인데
런던올림픽은 조금 달랐다.
그들이 보여준 것은 가장 영국스럽고 독특한 것임과 동시에
고등학생시절, 영미권 문화매체들에 심취해 있던 나에게, 어느샌가 머릿속에 스며들어와 있던 친숙한 것들이었다

Yeah but you are not British as patriotism is not too welcome in the UK. It is too bold in a country know for being modest.
A bit like the Japanese in that matter. Not too sure of South Korean values but sadism on your children seems high with the national exam day and employment practices of the companies.

Can anyone translate this lol. I want to know why it has so many likes.
The industrialization scene is epic. Even though I'm not English, it made me emotional. The pain and labor of so many people... It's really touching.
It was really well done. Emile Sande Heaven was superb at the end of the second part also.
It made me emotional too and the music was stoning
@@willkdd9801 the music gives me goosebumps every time. absolutely I agree. :)
Best part of the show for sure.
You know it means, stripping beautiful nature and beautiful environment off planet for businesses, factories that pollute and make elites rich. Using poor working class. Tree of life was cut. And after it's grey ugly concrete
11 years later and still my favorite opening ceremony ever ❤❤
I can not imagine that there will EVER be a better opening ceremony than this. The ind. revolution part is just insane, the fireworks are perfect, the music as the athletes arrive is great, Team GB entrance with David Bowie's "Heroes" and so many more things. I get goosebumps and tears to my eyes every time I see it
It's a ritual....predictive programme for the coming cv19 if you will...so easy to see here in 2024.
Don't forget James bond and the Queen! Not a big royalist but absolutely love that she was game for being involved in a fun way.

I am Greek so I am obviously biased in favor of Greece. But what I liked about this opening ceremony is that it didn't invoke a mythical past like Greece or China to validate itself, instead it showed whats worth preserving the present: good music, the NHS and the contributions made by the UK to the whole world like the world wide web.
I was already blown away by the ceremony and reading your comment made me enjoy the "London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony" a lot more. Thank you :)
the reason is very obvious because Greece and China have mythical pasts.
+Radical Unity а
well, both greece and england have baby, young civilization compare to China.
A mystical past is rather typical. Take away middle eastern influence on English civilization you get a people with almost nothing left. Take away Roman influence, they are iliterate.
Greece is a relateively young civilization too, compare to India, China...etc. Pretty much a baby nation.
also, so much of their music has american influence. Their culture is so much of a product of americanization... we can swap the band with an american band and it'll be an olympic in USA. Nothing unique here lol
I was live there, this is the best show I ever saw in my life, I’ll never forget this
The best Olympic opening ceremony by far!!
Masterpiece by Danny Boyle! Genius!
영국사람들은 평생 런던올림픽 개막식으로 자랑스러워해도 되겠다.......
2012 really was the benchmark year of being British. Nothing will ever come close to the pride that swept through the nation during the games. Never forget the happiness on the streets..
Take me back

This really encapsulates what it felt like to be British in 2012. I'm glad this will always be around to capture that mood forever. What a magical era!
I doubt this opening from the Olympics will ever be bettered. It's simply sensational
Детка ты лучшее не видел,посмотри Олимпиада 80,гордиться сатанизмом глупо
I'm an American and I remember watching this for the first time and realizing, to my shock, how much of what I grew up with and loved and assumed was American pop culture ... was actually British. Well done, UK. You really reminded us how deeply you've impacted our lives. Also, I don't think I've ever seen anything so simultaneously dreadful and inspiring as the Pandemonium sequence. The golden Olympic ring out of all that smoke and chaos. I thought it was very brave of Britain to acknowledge both the good and the bad that came out of industrialization, and very hopeful to have all that result in a symbol of unity for all humanity.
watch the closing one too
wow, I really loved this comment!
English teacher from America here. This is what I constantly try to tell my kids, all the time, when they ask why we study British literature in America. Because the Brits INVENTED English. They developed it from a mere language to one of the most beautiful and universal modes of expression through the development of an incredible culture. America is full of Dutch, Irish, German, Spanish, African, Japanese, and Middle Eastern Immigrants. But we all speak English, and the Brits are the masters of it.
However...this had a lot of American influences, either way....not much into the British Culture much or their music or cinema.....but I like the first part of the Opening Ceremony. I guess is safe to say that if these British Bands did not make in the USA they would not be as big as they were.... Like the Beatles, Queen or Elton John....they all came to America and made big HERE.
@@hlatino03I hope I'm not coming across as rude but can you not make this about America rn. We know America is one of the biggest influences in the world but it's not everyday it must be made the best in every single conversation. Someone here is praising Britain and you come to say that America is still the best or whatever. Maybe I misunderstood but can you let other countries have the limelight for once.

The best opening of all time for an Olympic ceremony which contrasts so much with what is usually done, in particular thanks to a soundtrack that is just superb and a staggering staging. In short, a modern and epic opening ceremony.
Respect.

@@d.k2502 Thanks I've seen it before but there's nothing epic or modern about it. The opening ceremony of the 2004 games in athens is nice, but it's a banal opening ceremony with a very classic original soundtrack and doesn't have many surprises, which is not the case with the London ceremony which tells stories with a staging and a soundtrack never seen in any opening ceremony.

Shout out to the nurses for doing dancing.

The way the rings came together and the torch flames seemingly floating up to come together were the best bits IMO. Glad the torch designer/make ignored the "No moving parts" order!!

The King (her father, in 1948): "I proclaim open the Olympic Games of London, celebrating the 14th Olympiad of the modern era."

As someone who worked this ceremony , it lives on as one my favourite nights , I was outside the stadium helping people to get home , I missed it live , but watched it the next day , the smiles and happiness in people faces lives with me , I heard it , the music , it remains as my one of my greatest nights ever , I went to the pub afterwards and everyone bought me drinks , we laughed and cried , a moment of true happiness in my life
That sounds amazing!
That’s the kind of high I would ride the entirety of my life! What a wonderful experience you had!!

The last time my mother and her dear sister were together was in the latter's retirement condo in Miami. We watched in rapt silence as this splendid event of yours unfurled. Afterward, we all had tea and mom told us stories of the two years she and dad spent in London after the war. We stayed up late and finally turned in contented from an evening of storytelling, laughter and remembrance, the perfect end to our visit,. And it all began with this ceremony. The next morning, we flew back to Virginia.
I've always wanted to thank someone for this. So, if you'll permit me, I'd like to thank you. Nicely done! May your life be filled with moments like these.
I remembered watching this with the family and being shocked how most of the things that I loved came from British culture. I already knew about Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Doctor Who and various other things. But I had an eagerness of exploring the city, seeing the statues, and hearing Big Ben ring. I realized that going to London was my dream and promised myself that one way or another I was going to see the city in person someday. Seven years later my dream came true!

Opening industrial portrayal. Many years later still mesmerising, captivating, heartbreaking, exhilarating and spiritually rendering. Reflecting history and humanity at its most vulnerable and powerful, full of expectation, but with no certain outcome, like sport itself. As a Londoner living just a mile from the stadium at the time (and luckily with the fortune to attend a couple days events), I could relate to lots of the story and symbolism in this piece. I pray this important and iconic production and its anthem live on for decades, as a reminder (especially given incredibly dark times, worldwide, barely a decade later), of the unshakeable collective power of the people. Past, present and future. Heartfelt thank you and well done to all the creators and participants involved. Blessings.

Personally I think the camera men running around the whole stadium and not missing and inch of footage, should have our thanks too. For everlasting footage of this glorious British event 😊
That is it, it is not British event but Olimpic games that in so many ways belong to the hole, wide world.. or do they?
@@dragicaljubicic6293 the olympic games are global but the london olympic ceremony is british

Dear Brits... there you had a real masterpiece of an opening ceremony... Still loving it! Greetings from Germany!
danke 😉
Chillkröte hello I’m from England glad you like it
Thanks pal
nice one ..;))
Chillkrote- Thanks a lot!
Đã hơn 10 năm rồi..đã thức suốt 4 giờ để xem trực tiếp. Giờ xem lại nhiều lần vẫn thấy hoành tráng.. nước Anh có nền văn hóa thật đáng tự hào.

와ㅅㅂ 런던 레전드라 그래서 보고있는데 산업혁명 공연부터 오륜기 연출까지 진짜 쩐다 이게 진짜 강대국의 오프닝인가 싶음.......
베이징 보다가 평창 개막식 보고.. 내 기준 레전드인 런던 개막식 또 보러왔다 ㅋㅋ 런던 개막식은 정말 넘사네.. "너넨 이거 없지?!" 느낌이 아니라 "우린 다 있다~~" 느낌이 드네..
분야별로 무적기가 하나씩 있는,,
ㅇㅈ
한마디로 문화 자체가 근본이 있음... 한국이나 중국, 일본 저질 문화와는 차원이 다름ㅠ
버러지 같은 k팝, 두유 노 김취? 이딴거만 보다가 런던 올림픽 보니까 눈이 정화되는 느낌이네요
님 곧 올 파리 개막식 보고 울겠네 ㅋㅋㅋ 같이 울어요 저도 그거보면 울면서 지릴듯. 강에서 한다던데.
Sat watching it now,what a ceremony ,the forging of the five rings is amazing to watch when they come together the crowd the music ,Barry Davies narrating just awesome and of course Danny Boyles direction truly spectacular,makes my eyes water every time I see it
I forgot just how many amazing beautiful songs were included in this. The kind you’d never expect to hear anywhere near an Olympics ceremony. Firestarter , Born Slippy.. and so on. Amazing.
I still cry whem the industrial revolution begins... man, this is the best opening ceremony of the history! Cheers from Brazil!
Hey, you should watch for Asian Games Opening 2018 dude
Rickerson I couldn’t agree more 🥀
I thought that I was the only one
Rosida Andriyana This opening ceremony is soooo BOOOOORRRIIINNGGGG.... 😪😴

who is still watching this in 2020?
no
yes
Me. I couldn’t watch it in 2012, now I’ve got time.
have to watch this for school work
Michael Cao watching for a homework task
never forget the valuable experience as the volunteer for the whole london 2012 ceremonies. I was in there and stand for the Queen for rehearal...all the music and show always be the power for my life, inspire a generation, inspire me. never give up and keep moving. I miss LONDON 2012.
11 years later still hereeee what an incredible opener
Watching in 2019? Epic wasn't it? I creid in so many parts. Beautifully British.

세계인들의 생각은 모두 같았다. 도쿄 보고 다들 약속이나 한 듯이 런던으로 달려오고 있다.

The late Queen’s father King George VI, also opened the last Olympic Games held in London 1948 after the war..
His father used to open the Games in even earlier times I think.
@@kevinprior3549 The late Queens great grandfather, Edward VII opened the Olympic London games in 1908.
The late Queen Elizabeth also opened the Olympic Games in Montreal 1976.
영국의 뛰어난 장면만 보여준게 아닌 그 뒤에 어두운 이면까지 수치스러움 부끄러움 없이 모두 보여준 개막식 오프닝이였다. 세계 식민지배나 수탈은 별개로 노동자 계급의 부각이나 여성들의 참정권 연출 모두 놀랍다.
Watching this makes me realize how much I miss 2010 - 2015 ... 🙏
Isabella Pandaway dude those were the good days
I remember going to watch the Olympics in 2012, the atmosphere was electric and everyone was happy, one of my favourite memories
I got you ....today it"s just crime ...and no love and peace
Can't beat 1997-2002.
The past won't come around for another pass. Like in a game of cards, we can wish we had the same hand we did last round or we can play the hand we have the best we can :)
진짜 말도 안 되는 퀄리티다ㅋㅋㅋㄱㄱㅋㅋㄱㄱㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 나 저기 있었으면 황홀해서 죽었을듯ㅋㅋㅋ
직접 본 사람한테 물어봤는데 영상에 그때 그 분위기와 웅장함을 못담았다고 할 정도라네요.. 진짜 엄청났답니다 박수소리 그렇게 큰거 처음이라고 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 하 ㅜㅜ 너무 부럽습니다
"james.. james bond" will forever be iconic and I know that commentator regrets everything
Not if he watched the Bond film released later in 2012 ...
I remember coming home from holiday the day the olympics started and seeing the hustle and bustle travelling through London. honestly can't think of a more beautiful moment of the world being united in London at that moment. It was genuinely one of the few times I've felt proud to be British seeing tourists of all corners of the world taking pictures and laughing together :)
Honestly so true, I remember watching it on the TV and fell asleep at some point through the countries because I was only young and im a complete adult now. This country has gone to shambles but that ceremony is something that as a Brit I can be proud in my country for that
You should have pride in your country, despite its problems, much more often. It is, truly great.
Is it just me, or does London have one of the best/sentimental torch lighting ceremony ever?
It's not just you- although a lot of people missed the "chosen superhero Olympian" concept that had crept into torch lightings from Atlanta onward.
I was in floods of tears watching it at the time!
💖
jchang133 you’re absolutely right as seeing the part of London and the local boy done well in the form of David Beckham driving the boat made me a tad bit emotional.
Barcelona still own that title
My favorite openings

I’ve never had more reason to download YT Premium than I have while watching this ceremony. So many bloody ads interrupting such brilliant bits of this video! 🙈

아 오늘도 보네.... 어케 산업혁명을 표현할생각을 하지??? 개소름돋네 진짜.. 가슴이 웅장하다
피라미드가 위에서 감시하는 연출도 소름
진짜 규모든 아이디어든 씹소름;;
산업혁명 퍼포먼스는... 한국인인 내가 봐도 뭔가 마음이 뭉클해짐.. 아마 산업화 자체는 시기만 다를뿐 전 세계가 공감할 수 있는 주제기 때문에 더 그런듯.. 진짜 여러모로 대단한 개막식임..
@@user-jk5wo7ko2e 산업혁명은 영국에서 시작되었기 때문에 할 수 있는 퍼포먼스임..

전세계 누구나 산업혁명은 영국에서 시작되었다는걸 알기에 매우 명확하게 알 수 있는 의미임. ㅋㅋㅋ
Still to this day that opening ceremony directed by Danny Boyle and that music by Underworld is still then benchmark for an impactful, beautiful, and emotional ceremony.
This is the best opening and Olympic Games ever , I remember when I was watching it with my dad after one year my dad passed away 😢
