I really love this design of their dresses. Very beautiful and classic looking. The way drape and flow on their figures. Classic!
The Olympic Anthem has been translated from Greek to most of the languages many decades ago. It is a highly lyrical and significant Hellenic message addressed to humanity. It is embodied into the Olympic Flame. How it comes that we NEVER see subtitles while the choir sings it?

High Priestess Katerina Lehou as she lit the flame from the Sun: "Apollo, king of the sun and light, send your rays and light the sacred torch for the hospitable city of Rio de Janeiro, and you Zeus give peace to all peoples on earth and wreath the winners of the sacred race."

You are in need of lesson in Greek geography. Mount Olympus situated to the North of Greece (in the region Thessaly) is the traditional residence of the Greek Gods such as Zeus and Poseidon. Olympia which is a sanctuary is located in the south of Greece (in the region o Peloponnese) and is the place where the Olympic games were held every four years since 776 before the modern era. There are temples of the gods at Ancient Olympia (there is modern Olympia also) such as the one for Zeus, Hera etc. Woman were guarding the ancient temples in the ancient times and this is why woman light the Olympic torch to this day.

basically the money aspect is covered because we already have the olympic property built. maintenance is cheap in comparison of the money it took to build them. plus our heavy industry is tourism. every 4 years if we had the olympics we would be able to recover financially...

A very lovely piece of playacting.
It didn't like the fact that the translation (when there was one) during the speeches and especially during that beautiful, highly lyrical greek poem about the Olympics wasn't very accurate and a sometimes there were lines that were being said in Greek, but not translated. Other than that I enjoyed it. But as another commented, I enjoyed it more because I'm a Greek speaker and could understand what was being said.
The climax you are looking for is at the 48:25 mark.

Lo que no deja de tener mérito. Unir a tantas naciones para que se comprometan a unos juegoa limpios es un logro.

Did they LITERALY call paganism CULTS?! That is just bad narration and looks bad on this industry in my opinion considering that people still worship those gods and are important to them in their hearts.
@StormsandSaugeye
5 жыл бұрын
That's literally why it's called a pagan cult. It is not mainstream, the number of worshippers is low, and the predominance is regional in nature rather than multiregional or transnational. Before the 1950's, tibetan Buddhism was a cult. When the Chinese invaded, Tibetan Diaspora brought it to other regions and thus made it one of the leading forms of Buddhism. The term Cult, as it is actually defined, does not carry negative connotations. Christianity, for example, too was a Judaistic cult. But with time it spread and became dominant.
