TheJokertrailer is set to Jimmy Durante ’s interlingual rendition of the song " Smile . " The tune originally appeared as an instrumental track in the 1936 Charlie Chaplin vehicleModern Times . In 1954 , John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons add together lyric poem . Nat King Cole perform one of the more famous versions with vocal , which was a collision single in 1954 .
Lyrically , " Smile " narrate the listener to keep their head up high up no matter how bad things get , because tomorrow could bring about better fortune . In a twisted way , this message can be apply toJoker’sArthur Fleck , who becomes progressively win over the world is a gaga and freaky place . Footage in the trailer bear witness Arthur is somewhat down on his luck ; he ’s oft beaten up by strangers and struggling as a stand - up comedian . In response , he transmute into the Joker , a character prominently recognize for his psychotic smile . As Arthur says , he used to consider his life was a tragedy , but realized it ’s in reality a comedy . Dressing up as a killer clown may not be what Arthur ’s mama or Durante had in judgement when they said to smile , but Arthur ’s judge to make sense of it all in his own way .
The use of " Smile " also underscores how differentJokeris compare to other comical book pic of the modern era . If it were n’t for the Batman mythos connections ( Arkham , a acknowledgment of Gotham ) , viewers would be firmly - pressed to distinguish this as the late DC version . Jokeris very unparalleled , positioned more as a smaller , character - driven dramatic event that direct cues from Martin Scorsese classics likeTaxi DriverandThe King of Comedythan anything else . This is a film that does n’t have share universe tie - Immigration and Naturalization Service or even dealership construction on its mind . It ’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out , butJokeris shape up to be one of the most promising titles this fall .
