the title

The title comes from the identity of one Tarot card, The Knight of Cups, described as "a person who is a bringer of ideas, opportunities and offers. He is constantly bored, and in constant need of stimulation, but also artistic and refined. He represents a person who is amiable, intelligent, and full of high principles, but a dreamer who can be easily persuaded or discouraged."

And that pretty well describes the central character, Christian Bale as Rick.

While I found some of the movie interesting mostly I think it is a failed effort, too obscure to be of interest to most mainstream movie fans.

Of note, I found the 16-minute DVD "extra" to be more interesting than the movie. The actors and production staff actually talk in recognizable conversations, and they describe the process. It seems they had no idea what was going on as the movie was being made.
