and the artistic director , thomas jolly, artistic director, thomas jolly, he promised that the ceremonyld embody the values that paralympians stand for, and it really did. during the ceremony, they definitely challenged viewers at home. what we think people with disabilities can do, like the show was choreographed with so many different athletes and performers as well, who were performing aside abled bodied people , and it was just people, and it was just a fascinating watch and i felt like it actually stuck. true to the french chic that we were all looking for in the olympic ceremony in the first place. >> oh, it's interesting though they seem to i mean, we don't know whether it was toned down as a result. >> very toned down. yes. it did not. >> controversial. >> controversial. >> no, it wasn't controversial. and i think that's what happens with the olympic ceremony. i think all the controversy overshadowed all of the theatrics they had where in this show you actually felt like you could breathe and appreciate with what you were actually seeing. so the ceremony was called paradox from

on the other hand, considering that thomas jolly , a gay jew, the artistic management of this program is like the opening and the desecration of the clock of the prophet jesus, peace be upon him , was still in charge of this person, as many french people have said in the cyberspace. and twist it they boycotted this ceremony , either because of their presence in the stadium itself or because of their receivers. after all, this ceremony is 3 hours long after a long time, mrs. ann hidalgo, the mayor of paris , handed over the olympic flag to the mayor of los angeles, america, that the next olympics in 2028 will be held in the united states, and the host asked for a number and a number . and of course, there must have been some profit for them, after all, the tourists who came and now the right to broadcast tv and such. yes, yes , it is exactly the same. the estimated cost was about 12 billion euros, direct and indirect, of which 10-12 billion euros, about 3 billion. eurosh to clean the sane river and security issues and cameras it was awarded with closed-circuit television. 15 million pe

thomas jollie. yeah. we saw in the opening ceremony, which was a bit damp? >> they said they've kept that top secret. interesting. i hope they do it in the stadium, because i think when it was on the scent, it didn't really work. it was almost too exposed. it got a bit lost in intimate. apparently snoop dogg will be making a little appearance as well, so they are going to be bringing, i think there's going to be this corporate cross—reference between the french and the americans tomorrow, and usually they don't get along too well. >> so that's interesting. >> so that's interesting. >> it's going to be a two hour show, so tune in. >> they should have fired that guy from the opening ceremony. >> i think he'll be doing anything big for them again in the future. but i have to apologise after the first, you know, that was this was france's big moment, you know, and for the opening ceremony, that's what people talk about and that's what goes down in history. so he has to rectify, guess. >> i guess in their defe

the thomas thomas jollie, the artistic director, has promised the audience to take everybody, promise and, you know, trace tracing the, the, the very origin of the games and back to science fiction. >> i have no faith in thomas jolly. do you not? >> why not? julie? >> why not? julie? >> no. after the opening ceremony. well, yes. >> this sounds as though it's going to be very different. and it hasn't. haven't they said something about it's not just going to be in front of you in the stadium. it's going to be in the stadium. it's going to be in the air. yes which made me think about cirque de soleil. are they going to do something i haven't seen? >>i seen? >> ihavent seen? >> i haven't seen that, but yeah, that sounds that that would sound reasonable to me. >> there are some there are lots of drone shows. >> there are some observances as well. they they just have to do i mean, there's a parade of athletes. they have to thank all the 45,000 volunteers as well. there's a medal ceremony individually. yeah. i think well, they've set aside some, some days as long as the opening. yeah, exactl

honest, i think because the opening ceremony received so much controversy, the artistic director thomas jollyscale it back. i think the french were playing it quite safe. they didn't want to get any bad headlines, but what you're finding now, all the headuneis you're finding now, all the headline is about hollywood and la 2028, didn't he? >> he had to sort of redo the opening. he did. he argued that that's what it was about. >> it was about passing the baton to the usa . baton to the usa. >> it is about that. but i think when you look at olympics history, it's all about your opening ceremony and your closing ceremony. those are the best bits which people remember of a country. but now when people are looking at the closing ceremony, it was all about tom cruise's moment and stuff like that. and i think like it dragged for too on long. they did have light touches, like they had this golden voyager coming on to earth where there was no more olympic games. but i guess people found that a bit boring. >> bear in mind, there were thousands of athletes there. so, so it does drag on a bit. i love your
