UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
能看出导演想表达对于电影的热爱可这剧本确实太陈旧了些，仔细想想这不就是一个不负责任的渣男的故事吗，不是所有缺点都能被才华二字掩盖的。不过看电影看到死真的是影迷最好的结局了.......7/10
没到最后时间，就一直是处于没看懂的状态。两条时间线傻傻的分不清。找不到节点自己…可能比主人公还感到恐慌orZ
老男人不痛不痒的忏悔和洋洋洒洒的自我感动真让我想吐。
看得让人纠结别扭。感谢电影之神还是降临，让故事没有无疾而终，也让我看到了其中最伟大的人物淑子。
完全不忍心看到曾经意气风发的永野芽郁和苏打的落魄暮年…虽说在电影中死去得偿所愿，但回头看过去，或许会觉得这一生实在是漫长得毫无必要，才会如此苦撑吧…（话说最讨厌浪子回头的戏码了

抢了个巨巨巨偏的位置（可能自从开始赶电影节就没抢过这么偏的位置那种），要是不好看我就要脱粉苏打！（不是 //9.17看完了，为各位主演的惊天颜值加一星，很俗气很保守但还是看哭了🥲愿电影之神保佑我们吧。
不能嫁给文艺青年啊！北川景子咋那么像张雨绮？
三星半，电影名字比较唬人，但作为山田洋次的作品来说，比较一般，本质还是走家族之苦这一类型的路线。主要是剧本不太给力，笑点也比较老套，有时候我会串戏到《今夜在浪漫剧场》。在影院里还是会被一些节点触动到，但出了影院不觉得有后劲儿。尽管如此，在影片结束时和大家一起鼓掌还是很开心。ps，看到志尊淳出现时我的第一反应是：这货新冠已经治愈出院了吗？20210917电影资料馆
m2280：sha人诛心，苦其心志。斗棋弱化，改编整体不错。
这不就是19年春天的那个我吗55555
松竹百年，清水、小津、原节子悉数“出场”。Goh对两位老师的批评，何尝不是新浪潮一代的心声，大概山田洋次还是站在小津一边的吧。
对我是非常治愈的一部电影。女明星开车送女主去找男主的那场夜戏，想起《女孩之城》里女主跟男主的夜戏，那种真正危急时刻的共担。以及一家人最终被电影拯救，虽梦幻，亦疗愈。
剧本很好，换些大牌演员，剧情加点起伏和惊悚，就是TOP250
虽然不明白男主为什么会从之前这样的热爱电影变成一个老混混，但故事总体还算不错。
7.5。年轻的部分个人很喜欢，热情、爱情、制片厂同事的情谊和生活，都有闪光。老年的部分或许有意掠过糟心的争吵和痛苦，企图留住衰老最后的状态和执念，却因为中间经历的缺失，未能靠台词支撑起怅然的往事难回首。
作为松竹百年献礼，弄个“电影之神”这么大的名头，加以山田洋次的资历，本片格局可委实是小了。如果要给电影写一封情书，要致敬和感怀一段光辉岁月，就算拍不出《千年女优》的感觉，至少也得像《好莱坞往事》那样吧，但本片就像前不久的《默片解说员》，浮皮掠影虚头巴脑，不见深情真心欠奉。男主的人设就很能说明问题，刚当上导演就因为一点根本都算不上挫折的小事而灰心放弃，之后几十年都浑浑噩噩混吃等死，请问哪里能看出一点对电影的热爱了？然后，那个作为戏眼的剧本不就是《开罗紫玫瑰》么，这样重要的元素都不搞点原创却直接拿来主义，这也太偷懒了吧……
这不就标准好莱坞打法？剧情太简单了，年轻的线也没交代清楚，有些桥段还是动人的
时空穿插 记忆回环 丢失了精神的躯壳被逼进了象棋的世界。丢了的精神世界再也找不回。就像昨日的世界。那个只要还在跳舞就是维也纳的世界。整体其实有些偏压抑。
