opening
That was an opening, by the way.
Someone give a speech about his life's mistakes and the things he regrets doing in hi life. And in the end of it, he said, "That was an opening." Could it be "self criticism"?
Thanks in advance,

بداية الانفراجة/بداية انقشاع الغشاوة
I believe the writer means it was an 'opening' to the truth about himself. A stage of self-awareness somehow.

مقدمة
What's the tone of the speech? Could it be some sarcastic comic relief at the end? As in "I'm just getting started"?

There's still much context needed to answer this accurately, but in general and in a situation such as the one you explained, I'd say that the word "opening" would resemble almost exactly what you'd mean by: "فاتحة"؛ as in a opening/source of a chance or other things (start/beginning).
Hope I could help.
Hope I could help.
Example sentence:
فاتحة خير/فاتحة اتفتحت.
