Knight of Cups movie quotes take viewers on an experimental film journey following one screenwriter who tries to navigate the confusing land of Hollywood. The drama film was written and directed by Terrence Malick and loosely inspired by The Pilgrim's Progress and Hymn of the Pearl. After premiering at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, Knight of Cups opened in theaters on March 4, 2016.
In Knight of Cups, viewers follow Rick (Christian Bale) through eight chapters, named for tarot cards and each focused on a different secondary character. He meets Della (Imogen Poots), a young woman who distracts him from his real life, and deals with family issues, specifically with brother Barry (Wes Bentley) and father, Joseph (Brian Dennehy). Rick is taken into the world of Hollywood excess by Tonio (Antonio Banderas), who both indulges in excess himself and recognizes the act, and deals with ex-wife Nancy (Cate Blanchett), a doctor.
The women keep coming for Rick as he has some fun with model Helen (Freida Pinto) and stripper Karen (Teresa Palmer). He reunites with past love Elizabeth (Natalie Portman) and makes a new friend in Isabel (Isabel Lucas). But through all of these adventures, Rick never feels as though he is himself or even remembers who he really is, or wanted to become. This sends him on a journey to find that, if that's even possible.
Knight of Cups was just one of several films in theaters in March 2016 alongside Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Zootopia, London Has Fallen, and Deadpool.

You L.A. Flavors
Tonio: You L.A. flavors, sometimes you want raspberry and after a while you want some strawberry.
At a party filled with celebrities and other Hollywood socialites gives Tonio some perspective from which he can reflect. He sees those in Los Angeles as always wanting a new flavor in life and never settling for the same thing for too long, mainly because they can.
Is This a Friendship We Have?
Helen: Is this a friendship we have? I don't want to wreak havoc in men's lives anymore.
Helen asks Rick about their relationship. Is it a friendship or romantic relationship? She doesn't know, but does know what she wants to do, stop hurting men.
We Find Me
Isabel: We find me.
Though she doesn't come right out and say it, Isabel knows that she will show Rick the way. He was long lost and Isabel is his key to moving forward.
You Look Different These Days
Nancy: You look different these days. What is going on with you? ... I couldn't help you stay on the right path. You head was turned in the wrong direction.
In speaking with his ex-wife, Nancy, Rick hears things he does not want to hear. As Nancy states, he has fallen off the right path and is someone she barely recognizes.
Remember the Story I Used to Tell You
Joseph: Remember the story I used to tell you when you were a boy, about a young prince, sent by his father, the king of the east, to find a pearl?
Joseph, Rick's father, reminds him of a story that Joseph told Rick when Rick was young. It involves a prince who was seeking a pearl but caught up in the festivities of life and fell into a deep sleep. Perhaps there's a parallel to Rick's life somewhere here.
I Hope You Have Children
Ruth: I hope you have children. You're always wondering are they too cold or are they warm enough.
In one of several random scenes from the film, Ruth expresses to Rick that she hopes he can one day have kids so he can understand how parents worry about their children. Maybe Rick could take a lesson in considering the feelings of others a bit more.
You Want a Love Experience
Della: You did't want love. You want a love experience.
Della seems quite finely tuned to Rick's intent with her. He does not want love, only the experience of love, which are two very different things.
You Have Love in You
Elizabeth: You have love in you. I know it.
Reflecting on their time together, Elizabeth does not express anger for Rick's action rather states that she knows he has some good in him. She knows somewhere deep down in who Rick truly is, there is love.
The Life of Someone I Didn't Even Know
Rick: All those years, living the life of someone I didn't even know... You see the palm trees. They tell you anythings possible...
Rick reflects on his life, or at least the life he lived rather than the person who lived it, whom he says he does not know. He fell into the trap of living in paradise and enjoying the now, rather than truly finding his place and purpose in this world.
The Man I Wanted to Be
Rick: I can't remember the man I wanted to be.
Rick knows that once upon a time he wanted to do something with his life. He, however, cannot remember what that something was or who he sought to become as a grown man.
