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.
几年前看过剧本，没想到拍出来了。确实是王朔的味道，不论台词还是整体的叙事，都有他很深的风格烙印。王朔赋予了剧本很多自己的情怀和对青春的追忆。与其说是一部电影，不如说这是王朔唱给自己和同属他那个时代的人的挽歌。不知成片如何，甚是期待！
很喜欢中段，随着三条生命的逝去，缓慢，隽永，流长，仿佛自己也能感受到生命的流逝。后半段明显节奏过快了，整体过浮，还没让观众感同身受，剧情就又进入下一段了，有些可惜。
2022年4月12日观看。节奏把控的挺好。
日本反复讲述拍摄的是不讲道理的天灾带给人和社会的次生伤害，而我们正在经历的连探讨的可能性都没有。
平庸乏味的前半场+彻底崩坏没眼看的后半程。所谓三王的“王炸组合”结果就这？！长镜头连定格落点都不稳，还能说什么……纵使科幻魔幻都力争创造令人信服的体系，编排逻辑自洽的行动，何况走的是现实主义年代怀旧路数，那么请问，奔赴捷克后的种种是怎么成立的？实验室能这么用？那个年代的异国生活是这么过的？出走非洲又是什么鬼？爆炸意外让男主拥有特异的慢放视觉，也烙印了一跑就摔的创伤，但导演似乎常常忘记后者，只在特定时刻拿来烘托下情绪。干细胞等超现实要素尚能容忍，可只顾完成情感线而缝合的离奇情节完全脱离现实经验，硬跨哲学高度也不怕扯着蛋。尾声的吴彦姝也因为逻辑梗阻的设计白白浪费了演员的口碑加成：容颜未变的一生挚爱出现在面前，怎么又不认识了？不是说好“爱足以抵抗时间”吗？真不懂直呼感动的观众如何代入的
后半段垮了，这样做实验是不能通过伦理委员会审查的，根本不可能这么做实验
有的人，一住进心里，就是一辈子。
电影探讨的问题很现实，很发人深省，演员也演得很好，只是节奏上显得拖沓。
奇幻版安妮海瑟薇的one day 吗。看完有种淡淡的忧伤，爱情还是勇敢点，不错过才是最好。人生这么短暂，不要让一辈子嘴里苦，靠高粱饴取甜何必呢
在巨大的社会事件之后，呈现出来的边缘角落。
題材和卡司都很好，開頭也不錯，但後面有點無聊了。劇情平鋪直述步調慢，沒什麼吸引點。最大亮點是清原果耶
剧情白开水又墨迹，就这还能拍两个多小时，日本电影真的药丸
一开始以为是奇幻片，然后发现是爱情片，再然后以为是科幻片，原来是文艺片，最后发现还是奇幻片……有点深度，表示没看太懂，最打动的一句话是“他好时，我不必在”“别怕，我管你”
父亲去世后，丁萌萌拿自己实验这段有点离谱了。
既想讲地震，又想讲社会问题，又想拍推理，结果就是每个方面都不够深入，表现一般。好在阵容不错，清原果耶妹妹在这部里演技也不拉胯。
日影非常擅长且一直用的表达方式，激烈化的题材和去激烈化的表达，看多了后就觉得消解了不少事件本身的震撼力。一并温吞了下来。
先看一部中式愚蠢x
估计简单，深刻，本来以为是偏探案题材，不过最后还说落在人情上，也算呼应了。突然发现日本老奶奶都非常和蔼。
==============================
主题是很有意思的。不同的人经历了地震，失去家人，每个人的命运也随着自己的选择而走上不同的路。
