Video: Beijing Olympics, One World One Dream

We love this new promotional video for the Beijing Olympics, although Meg in Beijing had this to say:

I really like the athletes working out at the Forbidden City’s gates. Although I think the marksmanship bit is a little creepy.

It's about time they put together a decent film for the games. All the ones they put out by the famous directors were terrible.

I'm not down with the Gong at the end of the clip.. too stereotypical.. especially when shown to foreign audiences..

Also the font selection and the typographical animation at the end is questionable..

Very well done, IMHO. Not cheesy and no hint of propaganda, I was entertained by it.

Pretty cool, except for the pistol pointed at the camera which I found creepy and very un-sporting-event-like.
