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.
Larger than life是对梅艳芳最恰当的形容，她身上过早的沧桑感、行走江湖的傲岸，空前绝后，不可模仿。香港的女儿更是香港的女神，她的命运隐伏着此城的命运。电影可称水准之作，色调与画面边框晕影、后期配音化入一片朦胧中的声效，都暗示这只是梦回昨日，而昨日本身则定格于插播的梅艳芳片段，不在戏中。我更喜欢前2/3，剧本编写很细腻，正剧、诙谐小插曲、爱情场面，情调都不错。可惜从避居清迈开始，故事渐趋浮光掠影。新人女主角镇不住临终演唱会的舞台，情有可原，因为连化妆都欠缺说服力；然而一搬进实况片段就马上催泪：掩不住的病容，是艺术家正在用生命作人间绝唱！导演说过拍此片没有野心，目标只是让更多人（重新）认识梅艳芳，这目标相信已达到，凭这一点它就值得尊重和赞赏。
喜欢，片如其名，real smooth，流畅度和完成度都很高，也许看过的很多电影都在讲成长的阵痛，讲年轻人多么迷茫失意，能这么温柔讲述成长确实直击我心，工作，家人，爱情一切都在虽缓慢但却积极的发展中，和女主角的这场邂逅拍得也足够美，初遇到中间若即若离朦朦胧胧的好感，再到表白到分别，真的温柔到极致了。（导演虽不太能控制表情但总体还过得去）
先天缺失+后天乏力，内容上极为保险，拍法上更是无趣。我不明白此时此刻推出《梅艳芳》的动机是什么，创作者应该很清楚，要在现有的环境下呈现梅艳芳的完整人生，最佳的形式是纪录片。
本周唯一的标记给阿Mui。质感很粗糙，故事欠打磨，巴拉巴拉。但有最后那一声拜拜就什么都够了。
选择了自己觉得最好的那种ending，而不是选择我们希望看到的ending。成年人的隐忍，和刚步入成年的模糊。约瑟夫作为成年人，并没有嘲笑或者将他当作自己的情敌。每个人都那么美好。
没想到电影会选择这样一个角度来讲述她的一生：一个追爱而不得的人，最后嫁给舞台，中间没有重点谈，所以想不起来她的某部电影，或是某首歌，但似乎真的有更了解了她这个人。肯定会去看，也肯定会失望，但仿佛又没有那么失望，因为知道没人能把梅艳芳那样好，所以这样似乎也足够好，又似乎真的是那个她该有的道别与怀念。
和《祝你好运里奥格兰德》前后看的，都很喜欢。似乎更喜欢这部，跟男主一起掉眼泪。很温暖。
30+的向现实妥协的考量，22岁大学生过剩的肾上腺素。24岁的本人在看的时候能理解Domino和Andrew的想法，但更多时候是抱着一种复杂的情感，有遗憾有羡慕有无奈有绝望有愤怒。敢爱敢恨果然是青年的特权啊。
其实也并没有抱多大期望，说到底，百年也再难有一个梅艳芳了。
男生唱衰的风格我从海边的曼彻斯特开始就领教过。但是这不片子还是再次打动了我。不得不夸Apple TV+的眼光: 无论是颁奖季大热的健听女孩，艾美奖的垂青新闻主播，足球教练，还是最近的健身教练，都在用独特的视角剖析你最熟悉的陌生人。当男主告白失败在车里提不起精神的场景，以及男主打开女主跟他告别时送的卡片，上面写的为自己做点什么的纸条，深深触动了我，也升华了影片的内涵。如果今年一定要推荐的影片，我为这部投一票。
一边想吐槽演员演得不像，一边也不太忍心，毕竟梅姐和哥哥这两位传奇人物就是因为这么难以复制才难得，所以估计谁来扮演都会差那么几分气质。看完这部，感受到这差距确实还是很大，所以，并不期待张国荣传，用真实画面剪个纪录片就够我们老泪纵横了。
（其实一开始觉得王丹妮太甜美，没有印象中梅姐aggressive的感觉，但是看到片尾老照片发现她年轻的时候真的很甜美！丹妮演到后半段蹙眉和嘴角向下的时候已经非常神似了，下了功夫的。非常感佩，一半为梅姐，一半为老香港演艺圈的真情和义气。）
选择了自己觉得最好的那种ending，而不是选择我们希望看到的ending。成年人的隐忍，和刚步入成年的模糊。约瑟夫作为成年人，并没有嘲笑或者将他当作自己的情敌。每个人都那么美好。
这部电影让我感受了一波梅姑的魅力，打消了一些以前曾经有过的疑问，为何一个艺人可以有这么大的影响力和追随者？看完电影我终于懂了。
这个真的很治愈 看完心里很温暖，也喜欢达妹，但不喜欢她咬嘴唇的动作
不要听主创喊了哪些口号，而是要看他们如何创作，现在就是成品非常差，全流水账式拍法，梅艳芳一代天后，她在音乐和电影上的成就、她作为时代icon的风潮和意义、她对演艺界的贡献等等通通浮皮潦草一带而过，重点居然放在谈恋爱上，为了一首夕阳之歌的版权而昧着良心美化近藤真彦，又莫名其妙地花大篇幅拍她同林国斌在泰国，好似三流地摊小说；对梅姐一生挫折苦难的无限淡化是削弱她的形象力度，不晓得的人还以为她是什么顺风顺水的娇小姐。古天乐投资了就要演男主，他演刘培基简直离大谱，廖子妤很好，王丹妮作为新人不可谓不努力，然而我也受够了她一直扁嘴或嘟嘴。妆发也差，所有演员三十年前同三十年后除了发型不同还有哪里不同吗？杨千嬅还染着她标志性的紫头发呢。大部分棚景，又经常拿资料原画充数，安乐也不见得投资多少，惨就不要卖了吧。1.5
酸涩温暖，好喜欢呜呜呜，男主太可爱了，达妹一如既往地很诱人。成长路上没有弯路，都是必经之路，都是很好很好的路。
又，有女同事想请上大四的女儿去看《梅艳芳》，女儿蒙圈发问：“梅艳芳是谁？和梅兰芳什么关系？”听后不禁唏嘘，不知道30年后，还有多少人记得曾经既风情万种又傲气英姿的你？
从童年到92年期间几乎一出现经典歌就泪目，一出现演唱会场景就激动，但电影对掌掴事件淡化得很厉害，当年可是重磅炸弹，两个黑帮成员死于非命，传梅姐花8位数字才平息事件，后来向太也曾提起当晚事情经过。复出后的梅姐的确身体越来越不好，到哥哥自杀那里观众席好多啜泣声，最后用演唱会婚纱夕阳之歌结束，再度泪目。她真的是一个义气仔女，有几句台词挺深刻也贯穿她一生。“前辈提携后辈是天经地义”、“如果遇到肯学的，就好好去教”，还有她和哥哥都说过的那句“你会记得我吗？”
主创算用心尽力，但天后梅艳芳精彩的一生，值得更好的传记片。电影做了太多减法，对梅艳芳本人的再造流于表面，没能细究家庭对她的影响，成名前后、患病前后的转变和选择全无，又极大美化了日本男星和刘培基。梅姐对圈内对社会的付出也远不止慈善演出，比如组织艺人协会、对抗东周刊、北上促合作等等。梅姐的好友们，如今一个个均为人物，谁都知道她的好，谁都有关于她的故事讲，未来肯定还得有部纪录片。最后想说，也只有梅艳芳，于逝世十八年后仍然让粉丝们有所期待，谢谢你，Anita
