If the people of Rio know what to do, it's to have a party that the whole world wants to attend. The opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games is like this. But it's not just a party. It is also a reflection of economic inequality and environmental vulnerability. Of course, there are a large number of fireworks and innovative applications of the projection system that constantly transforms the stadium ground. But it also has athletes from more than 200 countries paying attention to its ownership. Here are 10 of our favorite moments at the unforgettable opening ceremony.

Friday night is the perfect accessory for fashion week, from the most weather friendly straw hat worn by athletes in Aruba and host Brazil, to the lovely scarves worn by athletes in Mongolia, Benin and Barbados, to the perfect vest worn by lone male athletes representing the Dominican island of the Caribbean. The contribution of here's a little geographical update: Tonga is an archipelago of 169 islands in the South Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and New Zealand. It claims to have a population of 105323, slightly higher than Mount billings, but now it will surely be called where the super greasy guy from the opening ceremony came from. Tonga's flag bearer and Taekwondo player, pita Nikolas taufatoufa, went to battle naked, covered in oil, his muscles glistened all night, and he got angry on twitter during the march of the nations. Friday. No matter how he plays in the game, tauffa is already the winner. So do we.

Giselle's last trek was nearly 1000 miles from South Rio Grande and Ipanema. But at the wedding, the supermodel turned the beach town into a place of her own. Brazil's most popular daughter is said to be her last show on the biggest stage. Dressed in a silver robe and grinning, she strutted effortlessly past the Maracana stadium. She called it "the longest track I've ever walked." Her interesting way of happiness, let alone the rest of the world, let's hope that she can make her epic T-shaped platform go a little longer. But at the end of her epic show, she went to the crowd and danced and reveled in the crowd like a real Brazilian. The environment is at the center of the stage it's hard to remember that any other show of this size will face the dangers of global warming as bluntly as it did at the opening ceremony. " "The heat wave is melting the ice sheet," a voice inside the stadium echoed in predictions of sea-level rise and the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. But the ceremony was not just disastrous, it took a proactive approach: more than 10000 participants in the parade were given seeds for trees and bags of soil. On the whole, it is a welcome reminder that there is no time when one of the most pressing crises on earth is not suitable. Paying tribute to Brazil's dark past is one of the factors that made Rio's opening ceremony unique - unlike, of course, Beijing and Sochi's pageantry - is Brazil's willingness to see the darker side of the country. The courage shown by the organizers to recognize Brazil's 400 year slavery proved to be one of the most reflective moments of the ceremony. The performers wore massive fetters, and the protrusions turned the ground of the stadium into fields and plantations where slaves worked. It was a necessary and moving moment, and the result was a ceremony full of them. On a flight Friday night, watching a replica of a 14 pair t-wing aircraft looks like it was made by a fourth year giant flying in an art class in the stadium is an exciting moment. (it's more like the magic of CGI, which makes it look like a fragile thing flying into Rio night sky.) But it is also an epic shadow cast on the United States and a deep-rooted debate that the Americans were flying for the first time in 1903. As the opening ceremony showed, Brazil believes that the Wright brothers' air journey should not be counted. Their own Alberto Santos Dumont invented flight three years later. Gold value accessories
6. A year ago, yusra Maldini, a team without a country, desperately tried to push a disabled boat full of refugees to safety in the cold Mediterranean. On Friday, she took part in the national team parade, a team made up entirely of refugees, the first such team in the history of the Olympic Games. The team, including athletes from Syria, Ethiopia, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, was welcomed by standing ovation in the stadium and admired by the whole world, including President Obama, who expressed his support on twitter. " Tonight, the first group of "team refugees" will also stand in front of the world and prove that you can succeed no matter where you come from. Tonga's oiled flag bearer
8. Michael Phelps is delighted that the 31 year old swimmer has participated in four Olympic Games and won 22 medals. But is the Baltimore born, competitive Dinamo player really enjoying it? This year, he joked, "my potential at the last Olympics," as he seemed to emphasize. He not only took part in the first international March, but also served as the county's flagman. Phelps, 6-foot-4, laughs as wide as his legendary wingspan, which is his best mission. Now, if only he could go to battle naked and be covered with baby oil...
9. The lighting of the Olympic flame tells a difficult journey: the torch is passed between about 12000 torchbearers, passing through 26 states in Brazil. There are often protesters who want to stop or extinguish the torch. So when it finally ignited the big pot, there was a clear sense of relief. The work that brought it there fell on van der Rey de Lima, a marathon runner who was most famous for being hit near the finish line of the 2004 OlympicsThe fallen Irish priest jumps. In that year, Delima rallied to third place, a symbol of resilience, and eventually became a perfect Olympic capper, all in order to find something positive in the unlikely circumstances.
10. Only Rio Carnival can hold the Olympic Games. If there is no carnival, what kind of Olympic Games will Rio hold? There are more than 1500 dancers on the floor of the stadium and samba music is full of air. It's a party, everyone at home is dancing, too. There are colorful costumes and dancers who dance so well that even NBC broadcasters are envious (and are scrambling to find tutorials on how to dance Samba on YouTube). This is undoubtedly the best (and most interesting) way to start the 2016 Olympics. Let the game begin!
