透過剪輯將路易阿姆斯壯現場演唱穿插在電影[早安越南]的片段 路易阿姆斯壯(1901~1971)天生自然渾厚而沙啞、純淨不做作的小喇叭吹奏技巧不耍花樣、靦腆笑容流露出當代黑人謹守於被壓抑的身分又適時綻放出知足的笑容,令人印象深刻,而路易阿姆斯壯最令人難以忘懷的作品,就是他1928年經典曲-「What A Wonderful World」。這首歌曲在美國經濟大蕭條時代流行,陪伴美國在恐慌無助的年代中,給予興齡的慰藉,並且在1988年電影「早安越南」出現的那一幕,至今仍是讓人記憶深刻,當片中的羅賓威廉斯在西貢美軍電台播放這首歌時,電影畫面是美軍直升機升空、士兵們在叢林裡前進,西貢街頭越南人民遭美軍槍殺的畫面,一幕幕戰爭的殘酷無情,配合上這首「What A Wonderful World」當襯樂,形成一種極端反諷的對比,也讓大家對這首爵士名曲名聞遐邇。 What a Wonderful World I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world. by George David Weiss & Bob Thiele 電影中的開場
