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.

魏玛时代终结 进入犹太新年。法比安没学会游泳，世界容不下体面。
尼...玛...一定要这样子吗..不会游泳不要轻易下水...啊啊..尼玛..
有丢丢超出理解范围。脱离时代背景好像也能成立，时长长了有点散，或者是我没跟上吧。小汤姆和无主之作中的姨母谈起了恋爱。
闪闪发光，虽然被践踏、被毁坏，但是在火焰和水流里，都发出那种真的光芒，那是他们想要消灭却束手无策的，那是最要紧，最值得守护的。
法比安被淹死了，因为他不会游泳。
说实话挺怀念九柱都在的时光，都是很好的人啊，想想忍姐姐就。。
一个那样有才华的人却死于一场玩笑，跟现在的社会竟然有些相似
3.5 最直接的观后感是又重新点开了名为《巴比伦柏林》的文件夹
2.全片的荒诞，疯狂，混乱令人印象深刻
时间有点太长，但其实没啥废话，包括各种穿插纪录片也挺恰到好处。本来以为是小年轻穷开心故事（虽然其实也差不多）似乎有些故意的魔幻“穿帮”比如画室外故意拍了地上的Stolpersteine“绊脚石”。基友家豪宅外景是密斯的Lemke Haus，内景似乎不是，但也很好看
逐渐沉浸，像是听了一个很长很长的故事。沉浮中尽是虚无。
镜头等各方面都不像是这个年代拍出来的电影，尤其开场半个小时，那些街道建筑人物场所声色迷离构建出魏玛共和国的浮世绘，人物在历史的洪流中抑郁沉浮，纵情只在迷茫的间隙中，最终被淹没。导演用影像构建精神，将各色人物理想幻灭的过程漫长地坍塌下来，而爱情散落其间，苦苦支撑却变成了砸穿一切的一部分。观影过程痛苦的点在于居然与这种抑郁有共鸣。3.5.
三分之一过去后，迷乱的气质逐渐消失，被更为平和的叙事所取代。可是越是平和越是悲怆翻涌，在更大的混乱到来前，法比安死于昨日的世界。是拍时代也是拍城市，摄影极美，颗粒带来的疏离感分外美妙。偶尔闪过的纳粹、广播和报纸皆是时代的侧写，想要成为电影演员是为一点无意义的美，等待不来的爱人亦是如此。可亲爱的，至少我们拥有欢愉的昨日。
尼...玛...一定要这样子吗..不会游泳不要轻易下水...啊啊..尼玛..
这个结局也是真的没猜到。时代洪流背景下小人物的结局。
类1984世界里的古典爱情和找不到出口的人们，太好看了太好看了
我就mark 给其他人看，不要花时间看了。这是tv抽的合集
“你只有弄脏自己才能摆脱污泥”
1931柏林风光，东部是犯罪，中部是流氓，北部是贫穷，西部是堕落。爱人的缠绵，友人的绝笔信，溺水的生命。该死的人活着，该活的人死了。走得太早是不是要比太迟要好。自《希特勒男孩》《我们的父辈》之后最适合Schilling的角色。
