Louis Armstrong sang this song, having lived through WWI, WWII, and Jim Crow Laws, and he still saw something beautiful in this world. Although times are rough now, with corona and the George Floyd riots, there is still something that even he would sing about, and find something either ironically or unironiclly beautiful/wonderful, as this video is. Stay strong, stay positive. Stay wonderful.
i don't think that's the way is used at this time. i see like with all this anyway... we live in a wonderful world. Sorry my grammar. thanks for watching and commenting !
Though I fought in a different war, this video segment accurately captures a day in a war. People don't realize that while you are carrying on with a firefight or calling in an airstrike, nearby civilians are going about their business because life goes on for them no matter what's going on. And by the way, Louis Armstrong actually did sing this song at a 1965 USO show at Da Nang. God bless him.
I get choked up every time I watch this scene. It resonates with me as I did two tours to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. It captures the heartache of war on both sides and how war is evil and unjust. I have a lot of regret from my actions and service over there and how we treated civilians.
What I love about this scene is.. this is the only Vietnam War-themed film so far I've seen, which featured daily life of civilians and soldiers/police in Vietnam. Love the cinematography and property designers. I especially love the scene at 0:46 where at the early morning soldiers marching into airplane with the background of the morning sun, 0:49 which shows civilians doing their laundry sounds close to reality at home, 1:46 street protest which is also beautifully shot, and 2:07 a lone soldier sitting down on the side of the street is so poignant for some reasons.
I have much respect for Vietnamese people. The most kind people I've ever know. I am a US Army soldier and all I can say is I'm sorry for what happened over there. 😔
Do you ever feel like you love everyone in the world even for a moment ? the older I get the more I feel that and the more I feel that the more I love myself
Aaron Simmons that's the goal. if you could forgive yourself which is very difficult for all you have done to others or haven't done then you can forgive anybody. that's what the love of self comes and the love for others. You have to understand that you were born into certain genetics and desert environment and you could not have turned out any other way that you did because of the environmental influences and genetics combined which is only a DNA skin suit that you are temporarily using for part of your soul to manifest the Earthly Realm. wouldn't you agree?
Aaron Simmons there is no such thing as a Justified resentment and that includes yourself. The mind is a machine and it is harder to reshape than Steel. At least you can still bend steel even if you don't have a press brake if you put it in a vice and beat on it. the mind is not so easy because it separates good and bad according to its own criteria that it has developed over the lifetime of the person. false beliefs and ego, lust, sloth, gluttony, greed, Envy false Pride. dishonesty which is a product of fear. don't be afraid of nothing. don't be afraid of death. don't be afraid of how you die. Don't be afraid to suffer. There is always a solution under no circumstance is there no solution. you're never alone. Whatever problem you're going through You Are Not Alone. There's nothing that you have done that hasn't already been done. You're having a symbiotic relationship between an animal's body that may not have had its needs met during critical periods of development. How the hell was that your fault? forget about it. it's a new day.
My late neighbor was a Vietnam Vet. He told me he could watch this movie all day as he knew the real Cronaur. Platoon though? No. Much too real for him.
Mr. Satchmo, Louis Armstrong's voice, in the presentation of the wonderful Robin Williams, this is the result of the 80's + 60's. One of the best movies of the 80s.
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 colour 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 sayin': "I love you". I hear babies cry, I watch them grow, They'll learn much more, Than I'll ever know And I think to myself, What a wonderful world, Yes, I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
For a kid growing up in the 1960's it was wonderful, but if you were 18 your chances were pretty good you would be drafted. I was one of those kids who grew up in the 1960's and early 70's who was fortunate to of had such a wonderful wonderful childhood, Thanks Mom and Dad. Miss you both.
What this song represents is to have the best outlook on life. This is no matter where you are from. I have been to China and South Korea. In some of the small villages the people are great full for what they have. It always meant so much to me when I came back to the States
Somehow this song comes to mind as we end the war in Afghanistan and a Hurricane strikes the city that Louis Armstrong was born in. The Great Satchmo could always see the better side of things.
I pray every night the world still exists when I wake up . there's absolutely no need for it :( this song is so fucking beautiful but so heart rendering at the same time . Bless us ALL !!
Always nice being made to feel how wonderful our world still is despite all that’s happening to it now. Thank you both, Louis and Robin, so much. 🌎🌏🌍💚💙
It's insane, but Larry Newton, the president of ABC Records at the time, hated the song so much that he tried to interrupt the recording session for hours - to the point that he had to be physically locked out of the studio. He refused to promote the song, and the only reason it was ever really known in the USA was because of this movie.
Ésta película fue escrita para que solo vos la interpretaras y que decir de Louis,los dos solo pueden transmitir tanto sentimiento, talento y algo más que unos pocos podemos percibir.Gracias
Geez man this choked me up before the music even started. Just hearing Robin Williams talk, made me sad. This is going to sound incredibly childish perhaps but why can't we live forever..... I suppose life wouldn't be as precious if we had it for eternity.
My step father was 101st Airborne. _Wikipedia_ "The 101st Airborne were called the "Chicken Men" by the North Vietnamese because of their insignia. (The Vietnamese had never seen an eagle before.) Enemy commanders are said to have warned their men to avoid the Chicken Men at all costs because they were sure to lose any engagement with them.[37] One of the opponents[who?] of the 101st Airborne Division commented that of all the American organizations he opposed that the 101st Airborne was the one he feared the most" Many 101st were sprayed with Agent Orange on accident. My stepfather was one example. Another soldier shares his story about Agent Orange below. _www.kqed.org/news/11617827/this-vietnam-paratrooper-was-exposed-to-agent-orange-today-he-lives-with-parkinsons_
Love this song. Happy and sad at the same time. My dads era is the sixties and his favourite films were regarding the Vietnam war films. Not for the bloodshed but for the soundtracks. Have to agree that the Americans had great music with a lot of help from the British
Thanks for posting this ! This is where his personality as a person comes out to me. It reminds me of the movies he created that brought great emotion out of his audience. I will miss him as an actor...This song will be forever tied to him in my memory! God bless you Robin!
How this was not a very big hit in America is unbelievable it seems to have just passed them by when the brilliant master Sachmo first released it . Loved that film. Maybe Robin and Sachmo are up there somewhere smiling, singing or even better laughing together.
Brit it was an #1 hit on the US Billboard Pop Charts in the mid 1960s. Matter of fact it was Sachmo(correct me if wrong) only top charter single in America in his illustrious career. With that said, I get your point on how Mr Armstrong did not have more #1 Pop hits.
heard this song first in this movie when I was way too young to understand what's going on. Gave me fucking nightmares my parents remembered very well.
It was a wonderful world with Robin Williams in it now he's gone we miss you so thank you for all the Joy you bought to the world thank you Robin Williams I remember the day Robin die I cry my eyes out I'm now cry Robin was such a beautiful human Robin Williams will live on in our memories he will never forgotten Legends never die
RIP Robin William's
RIP Louis Armstrong
RIP every human killed in Vietnam
Hope everyone will live a wonderful world
Rest in peace heroes I’m still missing robin he was good actor
Everyone in Vietnam Except the Vietcong
The Earth is overpopulation in current 2022.
🙏 🕯💕
it's 2023 i don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon
One of the most profound marriages of audio to cinematography I've ever experienced.
Great use of the word marriage btw, i mean it
Good comment doug
I first watched this when I was 13 and the pure anachronism made a massive impact on me. I’d never seen anything like it before.
@@Me-Miranda That is the perfect word to describe this.
Amen!!!! 🙏🏻 I always say this about this scene!

Although times are rough now, with corona and the George Floyd riots, there is still something that even he would sing about, and find something either ironically or unironiclly beautiful/wonderful, as this video is.
Stay strong, stay positive.
Stay wonderful.
Eddie beautiful description of this awesome song 🙏🏻🇳🇦
Jesus bless you
Stay you.
God, I miss Robin Williams. I love him so much.
Very true with frontliners wear masks lol
It was a wonderful world with you in it Robin. Miss you still.
me to he was alsome!!!!!!!!!!
I understood exactly how he felt when he did it because I have the same disease or should I say self inflicted dis-ease?
@@brianmcnellis6402 it's not a disease. It's a selfish act.
Sean Kilburn
He was suffering from a mental illness. Show some respect.
Oh yes... sniff 😪
this song is always used ironically. both beautiful and saddening at the same time
i don't think that's the way is used at this time. i see like with all this anyway... we live in a wonderful world. Sorry my grammar. thanks for watching and commenting !
+ShinigamiChick39 , I have to agree.
agreed it pulls on my Heartstrings
It's beautifully used in the climax of "Finding Dory" as well.

as a civilian who survived a war, i know exactly what you are saying.
My mother's favourite song. She sang this to us a week before she passed away this year due to Covid
I am really sorry about your mother’s passing. May she rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Wow, your Mum had COVID and she could still sing? Amazing...
The fact that a person whose life was spent with difficulties and suffering composed this song is an indication of an extraordinary personality..
One of the best scenes in all movie history...
キッズとおおはしゃぎして、勘当されたり、６０のババアに変装した人だけどね。もうひとつだけ、見てない大事な作品がある。

Impossible to not get tears by the end of this.
I'm Vietnamese and I'm going to cry when I see these scenes :(
This is a really tough scene to watch. I feel so sad for what happened in Vietnam.
For what it's worth...
I'm sorry for what happened.
The patience and determination of the Vietnamese paid off.
I have much respect for Vietnamese people. The most kind people I've ever know. I am a US Army soldier and all I can say is I'm sorry for what happened over there. 😔
I will never understand for the life of me, how anyone can not like this man's music.

This song always make me cry...and with the video from movie it's an irony that the wonderful world never existed and will never be
I agree, this video also makes me sad because of what the world has become of.
The world itself is wonderful, its the humans, who destroy its image
@@poormanssage3922 I want a hug from you, you are so wonderful

One of cinemas greatest and most moving scenes...
Every time i hear Louis sing this song i shed a tear.
Makes me sad to watch because one of the greatest actors of all time died
I agree with you
certainly one the best comedians, but actor ?? He was no Olivier, de Niro, O'Toole, Guiness, etc.
@@Bruce-1956 ACTOR
@@Bruce-1956 and who even are those people
@@KaleidoscopeWillow55 try looking them up.
One of the most profound scenes in cinematic history.
We watched this in music class with the theme: 'Film music'
My late neighbor was a Vietnam Vet.
He told me he could watch this movie all day as he knew the real Cronaur.
Platoon though? No. Much too real for him.
The first time I ever cried watching a movie was when I saw this scene at age 17
Louis Armstrong and Robin Williams reminded me of the fact, What a Wonderful World.
this is so deep
Rip, Mr. Williams
THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD
this movie makes me cry everytime I watch him on it because robin williams was a great man and fantastic actor
I have never watched this scene without crying
Me either. Had to wait until the song ended to type this response to your comment 😢😢😢
me too
good morning from Vietnam
what a terrible terrible war

Brillante el tema, muy buena película y como se extraña a Robin Williams, descanse en paz

Good Morning Vietnam!
What a Wonderful World
The soundtrack to this movie was incredible, love to listen to it!
What this song represents is to have the best outlook on life. This is no matter where you are from. I have been to China and South Korea. In some of the small villages the people are great full for what they have. It always meant so much to me when I came back to the States
Sometimes the poorest people are the happiest, and rich people are the saddest
Makes you wonder who are the really rich ones
What a powerful set of scenes & despite the violence & the sadness the Louis Armstrong song feels just right .
it still bring tears...
I will never be able to look at this song the same way again afyer this movie.
What a great movie.. with an impeccably perfect soundtrack. This movie charmed me well.
No words just tears, Beatiful song in a tragic time.
Anyone who served in the Nam, knows what a wonderful it is.
Somehow this song comes to mind as we end the war in Afghanistan and a Hurricane strikes the city that Louis Armstrong was born in. The Great Satchmo could always see the better side of things.

This scene is so powerful, the contrasts between the US army and the Vietnamese civilians struggling is so depressing but true.
Buen tema ❤
Nunca imaginé que una película, una canción marcaran tanto el 💓 de un ser humano. Y que ese sentimiento haya nacido hacia ti.
