Wow! The opening ceremonies for the Olympics.

Performers are pictured during the Opening Ceremony for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics at the National Stadium on August 8, 2008 in Beijing. (Cameron Spencer/Getty Images).
 I loved the use of color and movement as well as the telling of some of the history in China.  Here - the men are holding bamboo scrolls and then the screen of paper rolled out on the LCD floor illustrating when the Chinese discovered paper / papermaking.

I love that former Sudanese refugee (one of the Sudanese Lost Boys) Lopez Lomong carried the US flag in the Olympic opening ceremonies.
