Okay I automatically was guessing the horse on the water was an "Olympic spirit" symbol, but the Goddess of the Seine part makes it more awesome.

Assuming they're also talking about the runway bit... I never once thought "Last Supper." I don't think a row of people sitting at something that wasn't really even a table is enough to be any homage to that and probably had far more to do with the camera simply being stationed on the opposite side of what was said to be only a footbridge and thus limited space. The extravagant makeup, clothing and party vibe definitely falls in line with the bacchanalia thing.

Not much, imo, but when unknown history and cultural stuff comes up it would probably be way more helpful if people were first and foremost more inclined to ask questions and Google stuff first, rather than make kneejerk assumptions and s*** themselves. (But there's always those who purposely love to find a reason to be outraged.)



Really though, the masked guy better turn up at the closing and be revealed. Even if he's just a nobody, he clearly has gymnast training. No way is just some random person doing one-handed cartwheels so fluid like that with a torch in the other hand.

Assassins Creed suggestions aside, I kind of wondered if he was also the spirit of something, given the more ghost-like gauzy bits of his clothing and where he showed up in that spooky setting after the kids went through a shot of catacombs.

edit: Why did they cut this clip RIGHT there. Looks like he just falls badly onto a deck (or whatever that space is) -- the end.

(But that lady can shut up with the fake enthusiasm.)
