Post 007 head opening cast
007 head opening cast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESSTriathlete Simon Whitfield carries the Maple Leaf for Team Canada as they parade in the Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremonies Friday. (CP)
LONDON -- The Queen and James Bond gave the London Olympics a royal entrance like no other Friday in an opening ceremony that rolled to the rock of the Beatles, the Stones and The Who.
The highlight of the Oscar-winning director's $42-million show was pure movie magic, using trickery to make it seem Britain's beloved 86-year-old Queen Elizabeth II had parachuted into the stadium with the nation's most famous spy.
A short film showed Daniel Craig as 007 driving to Buckingham Palace in a black London cab and, pursued by the royal corgis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meeting the Queen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who played herself.
"Good evening, Mr. Bond,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said.
They were shown flying in a helicopter over London landmarks and a waving statue of Winston Churchill -- the Queen in a salmon-coloured dress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bond dashing as ever in a black tuxedo -- before leaping into the inky night over Olympic Park.
At the same moment, real skydivers appeared as the stadium throbbed to the James Bond theme. Moments later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the monarch appeared in person, accompanied by her husband,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Prince Philip.
Organizers said it was thought to be the first time she has acted on film.
"The Queen made herself more accessible than ever before," Boyle said.
In the stadium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she stood solemnly while a children's choir serenaded her with God Save the Queen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and members of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force raised the Union Jack.
Boyle sprang another giant surprise and picked seven teenage athletes for the supreme honour of igniting the Olympic cauldron. Together, they touched flaming torches to trumpetlike tubes that spread into a ring of fire.
The flames rose and joined elegantly together to form the cauldron. Fireworks erupted over the stadium to music from Pink Floyd. And with a singalong of Hey Jude,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Beatle Paul McCartney closed a show that ran 45 minutes beyond its scheduled three hours.
Organizers said the cauldron would be moved Sunday night to the corner of the stadium where a giant bell tolled during the show.
Boyle turned the stadium into a giant jukebox, with a non-stop rock and pop homage to cool Britannia that ensured the show never caught its breath.
The high-adrenaline soundtrack veered from classical to irreverent. Boyle daringly included the Sex Pistols' Pretty Vacant and a snippet of its version of God Save the Queen, an anti-establishment punk anthem once banned by the BBC.
The encyclopedic review of modern British music continued with a 1918 Broadway standard adopted by the West Ham football team, the Rolling Stones' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bohemian Rhapsody by the band Queen, and other tracks too numerous to mention but not to dance to.
The athletes marched in after the show,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The Canadian team got a nice pop from the spectators at Olympic Stadium when it was introduced.
Flag-bearer Simon Whitfield was beaming as he led the Canadian contingent into the stadium as thumping dance music blared throughout the venue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The veteran triathlete proudly waved a large Maple Leaf as the sold-out crowd roared its approval.
"What a rush. It was so amazing and was such an honour to be here tonight leading all of the athletes that I respect," Whitfield said.
Decked out in red and white jackets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], khakis and white sneakers, dozens of Canadian athletes waved to the crowd and took pictures as they followed Whitfield along the infield.
A total of 277 athletes will compete for Canada at the Games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but just under half that number were able to participate in the ceremony. Many had to skip it to prepare for their events.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has extended his best wishes to the team. Governor General David Johnston was in attendance Friday night, along with other Canadian dignitaries.
Boyle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of Britain's most successful filmmakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had a ball with his favoured medium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mixing filmed passages with live action in the stadium to hypnotic effect. Some 15,000 volunteers took part in the show.
Actor Rowan Atkinson as "Mr. Bean" provided laughs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shown dreaming that he was appearing in Chariots of Fire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the inspiring movie of a Scotsman and an Englishman at the 1924 Paris Games.
International Olympic Committee president Rogge honoured the "great, sports-loving country" of Britain as "the birthplace of modern sport," and he appealed to the thousands of athletes assembled before him for fair play.
