Watch Knight of Cups For Free

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I started watching expecting something good or at least not this bad because with such magnificent cast you can only ruin it with extremely poor or terrible script but sadly there was no script. Nothing happens in this movie really, just a few cool shots and good cinematography. other than avoid this one because its pointless,long and no story. I would rather waste my time scrolling my news feed on Facebook all day than watching this.Seriously A BIG NO.....

I could write a novel about this film. For quite some time I was thinking how to write short review and not miss the essence. Mass bashing of this movie does not speak so much about its quality as it speaks about today's audience. World got faster, people have no time, they're impatient and nervous, and even worse, they're addicted to adrenaline injections served by modern big and home screens. Unfortunately, this movie is not for everyone. It's not for most of people. But if you are willing to relax, open yourselves emotionally and let the moment carry you, this film could be enriching experience. They say it's pretentious, boring and has no story. True, it's not perfect, it has pretentious and even boring moments and it is very tiring watch if you are not capable to let go. Fact that it does not have plot doers not mean it has no story. It has story, and what a story it has, it just does not tell it in conventional ways. It tells the story by picture and sound and emotion. Every cadre is like a postcard, every sound contributes to artistic photography. This is one of those movies that are not supposed to be analyzed, but felt. I never saw any Terrence Malick movies till now, and if this one really is his worst then I definitely must watch all the rest.8,5/10P.S. For those incapable to enjoy artistic movie, if nothing else, two hours of Christian Bale surrounded with many gorgeous women should be enough reason to at least try.Hungry. Longing for something without knowing what it is.Treat this world as it deserves. There are no principles... just circumstances.You think when you reach certain age things will start making sense. Then you find out you're as lost as you were before. I suppose that's what damnation is. The pieces of your life never to come together. Just splashed out there.So much I was given. So much I left behind.Real life's so hard to find. Where it is? How do you get there?Pay attention to this moment. And everything is there... perfect and complete just as it is.There's so much love inside us that never gets out.

Rick (Christian Bale) begins this tale by relating a story his father (Brian Dennehy) told him long ago. A prince was sent to look for a pearl in Egypt, but when he got there, the royal son was given a drink which made him forget what his purpose was. Every so often, he is sent hidden reminders, which he may not see. Thus, the Prince's life was thrown off course and has little meaning but to seek pleasure. This is exactly what has happened to Rick. A successful Hollywood screenwriter (although you NEVER see him working on a film), his life is an endless search for meaning. This is especially true of his love life, as he has one night stands and, sometimes, a longer term relationship. Among his women are his ex- wife (Cate Blanchett), a married woman (Natalie Portman), a stunning model (Frieda Pinto), a stripper (Teresa Palmer), a zany Brit (Imogen Poot) and so on. Each serious romance gives promise of a fulfilling commitment but, alas, ends badly. Meanwhile, Rick's brother Barry (Wes Bentley) is a confused and sad gentlemen who lives on the poor side of town where Rick seeks him out, at times. Hanging over the both of them is the death of their brother and their own father's immense grief. Will Rick find happiness? This very unusual film has an approach that might baffle and bore some movie goers. Basically, Rick is ALWAYS on the move, virtually walking through the entire film. Yes, the scenes behind him change yet he continues his stroll. Then, too, there are many water motifs, perhaps connecting the search for the pearl; one notices waterfalls, ponds, fountains, and the Pacific ocean. The cast is quite grand and marvelous. Bale, especially, is an understated joy and because of his stellar good looks, one never tires of his walk through almost every frame. Costumes and sets are equally stunning, as is the unique camera angles and motion. As a fan of one of the top films of the ages, the director's Days of Heaven, this viewer does choose to seek out every movie Malick makes. Although this one again does not eclipse DOF, as that would be infinitely difficult, it is sure to please his fans and all those who wish for a one-of-a-kind film happening.

A writer indulging in all that Los Angeles and Las Vegas has to offer undertakes a search for love and self via a series of adventures with six different women. Don't get me wrong the cast of this film is truly amazing you have Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Antonio Banderas, Cate Blanchett, Brian Dennehy, Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, Jason Clarke, Joel Kinnaman and many many more so please explain me how in the hell can this film be such an abomination and have a 5.7 out of 10 it was stupid, the camera was very shaky and i couldn't even see who was who and the whole plot is about a guy who changes girls like every 10 minutes and drops a Party every 30 minutes and thinks that he lives the life of someone else it's boring, it's badly edited and directed, the camera work is awful and a great cast is wasted if i was drunk and full of cocaine i would probably loved it but since i wasn't i absolutely hated it. Sorry Bale but you made a mistake throwing away the chance of being Batman but thank god for Ben Affleck!!!
