So I'm dying to know what all you "reshufflers" think the title, The Cake Eaters, means. When we played the film all over the country, and in Europe too, it was usually the first and most hotly debated question, "What the heck is a Cake Eater?"
As the screenwriter, I always had to, gulp, step up and do some explaining. Now if you google it, you'll find all kind of dark, peculiar references and definitions. But don't listen to any of those....use the force, dig deep, think about the movie, those lost characters struggling....ahhhh, I've said too much. Come on and write me, and let me know what you think the title means. And the picture posted is actually graffitti written on a bathroom wall after a screening of The Cake Eaters in Vermont. I snapped it with my camera phone, and got some strange looks.
