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.
影片在俄乌开战后看，似乎更应景了点，没人喜欢战争，人人喜欢家园，试问要不是连命都保不住了，谁会离开亲爱的故乡的呢？影片在片尾闪过唯一的全彩色画幅是呈现了当代的贝尔法斯特，而整个电影几乎都是六十年代黑白的过去，但更有质感也更加有趣。你可以把他看作爱尔兰的阿莫多瓦和贾樟柯，他们都在电影里为自己的故乡正名。惊讶的是本片居然没有入围最佳摄影和最佳配乐，离谱！
Go. Go now. Don't look back. I love you, son.
有思考 有情趣的生活，在哪里都是幸运！拍的真美啊～
布拉纳赶快下场吧……回去养老吧！
for the ones who stayed
6｜这跟罗马完全是两个东西，没法比，也比不过。不太喜欢，太夸张了，设计太多就会丢掉真实感….
故事比较琐碎，我还是喜欢更戏剧化一些的故事，但理解拍摄者的这种处理方式，从一个小孩子平淡的日常生活的角度来看国家民族的冲突，人物、氛围都很有感觉。
非常勉强的及格。100分钟的电影几次无聊到暂停。又是老电影串烧，又是金曲串烧，还有雷神漫画，还到处念诗。看不到什么情怀，只有一股逮着往里塞的感觉。和《罗马》比实在是有点碰瓷，感觉更可以相比的是德尼罗的那部《布朗克斯故事》，可惜比起那部也是远远不如，一堆莫名其妙的构图和节奏奇葩的剪辑。不过里面确实有一些挺触动我的地方，不至于让我太厌恶。
20220118 处处对标《罗马》却又时时落入下风的平庸之作，情绪音乐剧情都太满了，颇有些腻歪……孩子和俩老人的关系倒是表现得有亮点。不过更大的问题似乎是，孩童视角天然被免除了很多基本的判断，60年代很诸多冲突和被简化为教派之争。一家人被封闭在街区中寻找出路，离愁别绪成为唯一可回忆的自我观照。
肯尼思·布拉纳《贝尔法斯特》2021
Go. Go now. Don't look back. I love you, son.
极其私人的影像回忆。通过断断续续的对话和为数不多的彩色镜头将记忆中模糊但却精确的美好甜蜜的记忆画面表述给观众，引导着观众跟随着画面一起进入自己的童年时光。一个限制在了孩童视角和童年回忆关于宗教冲突下的离开故乡出走他乡前的纠结于不安的故事，但这样的视角就注定了整部电影只能成为一颗美好的糖果，丧失了更深层次述说时代的机会......
不知道说啥，这节奏感不咋地，也毫无诗意。不过我觉得肯定有一大堆因为黑白就给高分的
人生面临的无尽选择啊..and say in thankfulness that you are grateful he was there瞬间泪目..ps. bgm真好听
Shedding tears in the theatre. Delicate, quiet, floating, and touching. Textbook-level shots and larger-than-life themes. Brilliant end and soundtracks.
贝尔法斯特这个名字包含了太多的辛酸与血泪，它有着太黑暗也太沉重的一段过去，而这种种情绪并不是能那么轻易地就表达出来的…
全片黑白色调，致敬回忆。爸爸和妈妈很像Jude Law和Renée Zellweger
难道黑白色的童年与故土回忆都很真实，电影与舞台上的想象力才能带来彩色吗？多的是影像上的调度，但置身动乱中的临场感稍弱，还是说我们都代入了天真无邪的童年视角呢？60年代爱尔兰的贝尔法斯特从时间、空间上都距离当下的我太遥远了～
或是纪念，或是反省，那个青年人随时有可能被枪杀于街头的年代，现在很多国家，都在用电影来描述。
不了解爱尔兰国情的，被开篇惊到。。。生活在莫名仇视的社区里真令人恐慌。。。小男孩巴迪非常可爱，他和相濡以沫的爷爷奶奶的对话总是稚趣十足，前半部社区混乱对人们生活的影响刻画生动，后半部妈妈纠结于移民，似无必要，毕竟移民去英国，无论生活品质还是安全都会有保证。。。爸爸帅妈妈美
