The artistic portion of the Olympic opening ceremony is showing an idealized portrayal of Paris. I know Paris, and France, are very complicated, and not anything near the artistic "ideal".
But that's the thing about the arts, and athletics, to a lesser extent. It reminds us of our capacity as people. It reminds us that we could do anything… if we wanted it bad enough…
