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.
这他妈哪是电影，简直就是春晚小品大荟萃。亲情作为题材，永远是最安全的，你敢说妈妈不好，你就是不孝，不孝是多大的罪啊，比杀人放火还严重哦，已经对构建社会主义和谐社会造成极大威胁了，很大一顶帽子
#资料馆跨年
浪漫主义、文学性和细腻入微的复杂情绪。真的很喜欢，总是被击中。
看似洪式的焦推实则流于形式，更像是为了暗渡陈仓地完成地位调度，心理与动机为所谓「反转」的戏剧性所牺牲。从欢乐时光之卓然，不难归因可能是小品篇幅所限。车内戏和如沐爱河一样令人抓狂。偶然提供灵感，想象负责敷衍。然而这部由几个灵光一现所敷衍出的长篇对我而言并不如前作。
对青春的怀念，对亲情的涂彩。团圆。现在对我而言实在伤感。不如相信中年才是美好。以及那个年代的发财，居然看起来那么无声惊雷
对白写得太好了，丝丝入扣的逻辑和细节。三首美妙的练习曲。
1. 夜以继日，伤害、选择、奔跑，爱的确认；2. 驾驶我的车，声线的情欲，文本的爱溺；3. 天国还很遥远（/合法副本），扮演后的真情实感，卸下或是穿上伪装，都抑制不住的追寻。语言让我们建立联系（在驾驶我的车中最终完成让步），我们的感情触角超出语言，超出的部分由影像的魔法补完。滨口集大成。
还好买票晚，座位不连在一块，没让我妈看到我哭得口罩里全是鼻涕
都不是什么惊天动地的大事【除了得芥川奖的教授，你不得不说这个还是很稀罕的】，但这才像是能发生在我们平凡人身边的小小的奇迹。
再来一次：在客观现实上架起的想象带来意外惊喜，难言之爱通过一种另类的方式沟通和交互。个体的需求在时间的抽离之后撞见了特定的命运，带来无穷韵味。
情深言浅的三个故事，虽然是絮絮叨叨的对话体，但深层的情感就像冰山只露出一角。滨口龙介似乎是在用日剧的方式拍电影，藉着生活中的偶发事件，加上一点点顺水推舟的想象，叩开那些欲言又止的蓝色大门。个人最喜欢第三个故事，认错后的将错就错，是温柔了岁月的拥抱。
3. 再一次。每一次重演的勝利：日常擊敗生活，但又是用日常擊敗創作的創作
《魔法》＝《开着的门》＞《再来一次》
不仅对导演本人，甚至是对“致敬对象”里维特、候麦没有基本的认识。在我看来，它诠释的是Daily Drama：不是用最流俗的语气说着最日常的话，而是将日常仪式化，上演幕幕精彩。
看完想抽烟的电影，导演选角的水平是大师级的
通过暴露日常生活里突如其来的drama性来消解集体无意识中构建起来的“爱情神话” 但反而祛魅到最后才又回归至神话终究是神话的层面 每个篇章结尾的zoom都如神来之笔 骤然将那一时段内的所有情感浓缩放大在那一刻 就像是魔法 摄影机记录下的这一切都如同魔法
一种短片集的典范，有坚固的理念贯穿在三个故事中。除了延续一贯的对情感关系的去道德化，在形式上更设置了三个功能各异的zoom in，相较洪片里变焦的泛滥，滨口用之以转换时空、强调信息、或是切换情境，重新发掘出这种古老技艺的潜力。同时，为了强调这三个叙事重音，并不用繁复的室内调度，多通过密集的对话做文本翻转和跃迁，演员直视镜头的正反打简直勾魂摄魄。想想滨口在15、16年已经分别捧出两部代表作（《欢乐时光》《天国还很遥远》），分别标志他在长短片领域的两个巅峰，此番出手更是举重若轻，彻底展现出游刃有余的创作活力。43岁的他已经迎来了超新星爆发期。#40th Istanbul Film Festival#
尽管已经被剧透的七七八八，还是忍不住看哭，在影院只能偷偷抹泪好憋屈。
反转不错，有点洋葱。但是笑料略low，而且把沈腾拍得好猥琐，乔杉就更猥琐了。
最后那一张照片，清晰肯定的记录了这个世界的一瞬。那一刻美子的心应该是明白的。
