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.
开头跟普通日本当代片一样烂 后面用来把剧情画面转到过去的那个桥接创想方法超赞 接着导演对演员演技不屑的话也深得我心
迂腐之极的文本。厌倦了日本男性以不负责为荣，作践女性和家人后洋洋自得忏悔抵罪的那套低级审美。对母女的苦难刻画得有多细腻，冷眼旁观这一切却无动于衷的男性就有多无耻。男主前后割裂的人设，仿佛山田洋次割裂的屁股：你以为他要用伍迪拉踩小津，结果最终他还是致敬回去，畏畏缩缩不敢改变和反抗，就只能用《开罗紫玫瑰》寄托自己对逃离现实的渴望。
日本电影的流派果然独树一帜，这还是一个老电影人对过去的主观想念……这片子真的不应该翻译成电影院之神吗？
主旋律迷影电影，看着确实很动人，真的没办法，不可能对电影院发生的故事无动于衷，但是，梗太老，太工整。
虽然没有山田洋次鼎盛时期的三分之一水准，但女儿念出父亲写的获奖感言时还是被感动了。
夏日电影节闭幕片，加一星给情怀，松竹100周年纪念作。比《魔幻时刻》更具迷影属性，一个拍电影的故事，有山田洋次的个人体验融入，同时也借用了《开罗紫玫瑰》的概念。看到小津、成濑、原节子的化身，还有《东京物语》《秋刀鱼之味》的元素，既让人感动也让人会心一笑。有电影真好啊～之前看修复版的《彼岸花》《东京暮色》时候就有点想哭，电影里的时间是永恒的，可现实的时光却一去不复返了
3日本人老龄化严重，劳动力不足，银发从业者
两代人的割裂感太强，看不到任何成长，使得老年戏异常难看，感受不到共鸣~6.0
奇妙之处，这两部电影都给有才华的男主安排了一个始终支持他鼓励他的好友，不管两人之间产生过什么矛盾，到最后依然能坚定地相信他有才华并支持他。
一半中古风格的怀旧，老电影环节好美。一半现代家庭情感，喜剧的风格也很怀旧。双重结构：回忆跟现实、同一个剧本的贯连现实与虚幻。打三星苛刻了，打四星觉得不甚出彩。回味过来是自己不能接受剧里的中古爱情价值观：女人是因为男人才幸福的。爆笑，现在还可以吗。
也只有山田洋次有资格给松竹拍100周年的献礼片 电影之神 了。人老话多，献礼片也不好好拍，最后那段大煽情居然看哭了。和 一秒钟 不同，电影之神 一直在围绕着电影讲故事，在结尾之前的情感其实没有那么炽烈。如果只看现实时空，实在很山田洋次。平平淡淡的突然最后煽一下，换别人，大概是为赋新词强说愁，但山田洋次煽的是电影啊，一辈子都不能辜负的电影呢。
在如今中国男女地位前所未有的接近的情况下，这部片子剥掉元电影的外衣，注定要被放在性别领域批判一番
现场都是笑着的观众
被电影之神照顾的剧本终于重见天日，重拾当年的梦想总算是个完满的结局，时间的列车从不停止，不能等到人生将尽才能醒悟啊。
灯火阑珊，悲欢入梦。时光过处，片甲无存…山田先生，90多岁了，老房着火，煽情请谨慎啊！
今天的我已经无法以非女性视角看任何影视剧了，虽然我很喜欢电影的质感尤其是年轻的时候的那些戏，但也不妨碍我觉得这简直是一部臭昭和大男人主义的电影，又赌博又酗酒，欠了债还要连累妻子女儿为自己还债，七八十岁的妻子为了存钱还要去电影院扫厕所，我的天啊。然后电影的最后还要意淫美丽女明星穿过银屏来到自己的身边，明明是当初自己懦弱地放弃梦想却还要一直讲电影梦，这个角色我实在是看不出有一点可爱之处。
山田洋次將原著大改特改，改以向電影人致敬，把參透的人世人情，既回望了電影的黃金時代，也把當下因為新冠疫情所以遭遇的電影蒙難放進本片，在虛實相間，像一副浮世繪，永遠在平凡中找到不平凡，永遠地溫婉動人。編導藉由人物關係，寄語了電影，電影院和觀眾之間的微妙聯繫，一直緊密而微妙的相互支持，相遇相知，充滿不即不離的愛。山田洋次並非一味地懷舊，而是直面人生的撩倒，當年文藝青年是肥腫難分的賭徒，電影院也即將成為過去的歷史，但卻在山田洋次擅長的輕喜劇風格，變成對藝術和人生的禮讚。最後一幕，電影之神和主角的相遇，實為九十歲的山田洋次心聲。
好的电影应该是好好讲一个故事，拍出能够铭记的画面，让人们产生共鸣。这部电影都做到了，虽然有小瑕疵但私心觉得可以打到9分。我的2021北影节以它作为结束真的太好了。
到底姜是老的辣，一场一场前有铺垫后有收尾的小叙事特别圆熟，画外的声音啊配角的表情小动作啊之类的细节相当多，是山田洋次所以并不意外，只是连着看了这么多天风格不同的电影，对这个烟火气感到很亲切。对这个故事最大的意见是老少中间的断裂感，怎么一个意气风发才华横溢的新导演，摔了个跟头就一蹶不振了，这么多年都干了些啥，从此没再碰电影？好好的苏打怎么就成了这样个臭老头？
2.12 本子真差，山田老爺子一把年紀還在corona最艱難的時期拍這種命題作文。只有テアトルの銀幕（＝川越スカラ座）連接現實部分最好了。咩太可愛嗚嗚嗚
