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.
标准到没什么意思的电影，太过四平八稳，一切都对，都正确，但各方面都不出彩，尤其是有那么多珠玉在前的情况下。加菲最好的表演还是在《沉默》和《银湖之底》，却没获得肯定。不过鉴于今年连《玉面情魔》都能bp提名，这部的观感至少没有那么糟糕。
this is the real life太难了，但坚持所爱本身就是意义
Sunday里大咖多到眼花，都太给面子了。
水！两分给两个有趣点：男主撩妹 十二鬼月下弦裁员会
没必要没必要 这都是动画我以为能有什么特别之处。结果没有
对应剧版的22~26集。大战之后的调整与训练，加大世界观与承上启下。
i don’t know why are people riveting about this, let’s be real, with netflix providing their best crew, 有手能拍只能说
纯剧本层面只能三星半，歌曲与现实的变换很有想法，但也没那么惊艳，是音乐剧与电影形式的巧妙交互
对Jon这个人完全不了解 但加菲好多才多艺的感觉 导演竟然是林聚聚
赞透了！这部歌唱传记片把一个鲜活的奋斗人生如实呈现，主角原创歌曲贯穿主线，歌词配合现实更引起共鸣。全片最贴切写实的是那种面临三十岁到来的彷徨迷惘和即将交稿但有毫无灵感的苦闷，以及又与情侣的烦心事交织一起的复杂情感。最可贵是没有特意的煽情片段，虽然后半段对童年玩伴的回忆时刻是泪光时刻，但却顺理成章。最后主角的结局一句话带过，非常精炼没有废章。

原来说的是Rent的作者，失敬失敬，这么多年了也没去Broadway看一场。加菲演技时刻，这几年选片都很棒。以及，在这个节点上看一个纽约客步入30真的太有共鸣了！They're singing, "Happy birthday"
我觉得对祢豆子的质疑是合理的，不能直接带入主角视角吧。
天啊好平庸，林漫威真的不会导电影，越是想把电影做成电影化，那些元素就越是和歌舞不搭
风柱·不死川实弥
非常典型的美国电影，前半部分代入感不强，后半部分渐入佳境。乔恩的努力、挣扎、死亡、成功，都归于一个词，无常。最近读关于阿德勒的心理学，很有感触，你的课题只是把每一天过好，每一天的舞蹈跳好，照佛学讲的“无常”二字，眷恋过去，远眺未来，都是愚蠢。
好像都完成了，但不好看。开头像歌舞片的大通货，中后段的故事又极为省略。倒数计时声串联起的多个时刻间的互文很流畅，加菲的几个唱段唱的不差。但加菲戏路还是太窄了，脆弱焦急都是可信的，但是舞蹈和音乐都不够潇洒，歌舞题材里加菲真的没有优势，太软糯了，演得好，可是不发光。主题和历史深度是高于【马戏之王】，但是从歌舞题材的歌舞表现，特别是男主表演精彩度、歌曲质量都远远弱于【马戏之王】。
想说剧作常规，但作为传记片又好像不是编剧的错，开始意识到很多人（其实也是很少人）的人生大抵也是如此。看的时候当然会忍不住想到爱乐之城，但再也无法有当初看爱乐之城时候的情绪。在什么年龄遇到什么电影确实是一种缘分，而这样同样的电影也会不断不断地以不同的外壳呈现，给恰好遇到那部电影的人。
激动的无以复加！这是种狂热的能量！也许也是因为这种能量，摧毁了他除了音乐之外的所有东西…
8.2分！相当棒的音乐歌舞传记片，导演功底很棒，很难相信这是导演处女作，用画面来讲述整个故事，娓娓道来，叙事节奏相当出色，画面相当有电影感，连续且壮阔，还有多个画面的连续剪辑，同时辅以动人心弦的音乐演唱，开场的音乐剧和过去的故事两条线并行前进，相当有吸引力！
