this was has a meaning. the torch that been bring by a human, touch directly the top big cauldron, then rise to burn the spirit of all athletes. Different than the other lighting that not directly light the top of the cauldron.

emailromain : ...Are you blind?? Oh,you're just a typical British..Always finding something to pick on foe Greece .. Just because the Olympics were held in their mother country that year..GREECE.
I wanna see how ..London fires up the cauldron in 2012. LOL! I'm already sure that it will be very un-classy and very common. You re probably gonna light it with a match and then call it the 'Olympic Flame'
WELL DONE TO GREECE,THIS WAS THE MOST MAGNIFICENT YEAR OF THE OLYMPICS.

even if it was lit ... ( 3 weeks ago by emailromain)

even if it was lit by a match, it still results in a flame! thats how a fire is started, like the ancient traditional way. And Greece was no way any traditional! totally useless! and im no British, mind you Greeko!

skipping past the ... ( 3 weeks ago by kynisis)

skipping past the idiotic comments of greeks and non-greeks... The 'cauldron' symbolizes a human hand holding a torch. It is not placed on the top of the stadium, because the flame is not 'above' us, it is part of us, and thats why it is placed among us(between the spectators). The cauldron, a 'mechanic hand' which is also a vision of the future, does not wait for man to get/climb to it(like beijing '08), but lowers itself towards the human hand, to receive the flame from the athlete.

Remember, the ... ( 3 weeks ago by kynisis)

Remember, the center of the 2004 olympic's symbolism, was humanity, as a whole.

i loved the lighting of the cauldron here
it was amazing, what it means really goes back to the real olympicsm however still puts it in a very futuristic way...
and the best music by far

Awesome! Love how ceremonial this lighting felt and how symbolic it was... the end of the ceremony, the current chapter of humanity - technology is here to serve mankind, and thus the cauldron bowed down to the torch bearer, to all the athletes, to the entire world... to receive the flame.

Oh dear, how long has this comment been here, Clive...
Yes, this wasn't one of the lightings I liked. The general hate came from a group of Greeks who like the Olympics so much that they can't stand it when I try and put my opinion forward. I was forced to reply back. At least you're one of the people who can communitcate without swearing.
Alright, I was just going over every single lighting of the Olympic flame. I think the Barcelona one is best. But still, I suppose this one is suitable...

i liked barcelona ... ( 1 week ago by luchito345)

i liked barcelona too, even tho many say it was a fake, i dont care wether it was or not, it was new and unique...
what i liked about this one is first what it meant that the olympics went back to where it started, an the music, i think what it makes the lighting really exciting here is the background music, it's such a dramatic piece of music... but anyway
i think everybody's opinion should b respected, because nobody is the very owner of the universal truth...
have a great day :D

Elegant, classic, meaningful. This opening ceremony was, for sure, the best ever. Incredible dramatic music! The Athens 2004 opening ceremony was not just a greek show; it was a celebration of humanity; every aspect of the human species was shown in a wonderful way. These were truly dream games!
