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.
比較電視劇，可要做到如此高共鳴度不容易。感情變化的每個階段和衝突，不同階段的情節事件選擇（契合部分做的較誇張），很多很小的瞬間和反應，坂元的刀子一如既往的精準。/對比國產影視作品兩個問題，一是不關注戀愛雙方的精神交流（可能也看不上文藝青年），聊天內容幾乎不會涉及文學電影和藝術（很偶爾聊起來也不說人話）；二是不關注兩人自身在一段關係中的變化和矛盾，要不就是拉別人進來製造矛盾（如第三者、父母），要不就是千篇一律沒有細節變化的單一矛盾，且基本都關於物質（此片的二人矛盾也有涉及物質但反映的是價值觀的差別）/ ps，一切因押井守而起，沒時間去看《牯嶺街》時開始走下坡了，在戲院看《希望的另一面》兩人已徹底貌合神離了，阿基考里斯馬基翻了個白眼問：怪我嘍？楊德昌說：怪我⋯）
看完只想说，不涉及原则问题，无论交友还是恋爱“求同存异”是唯一法则。总觉得绢有点过于理想化，麦有点过于现实，虽然最终是要归于平淡但我觉得偶尔是可以维持以前那种感觉的。不过和百分百灵魂契合的人恋爱就是会这样吧，一旦一方变了，另一方必然会失落，麦忙于工作无法和绢一起看电影漫画，连看的书都开始逐渐不同，说到“我完全看不进了，只能玩智龙迷城”时，绢难受是必然的，连世界上唯一和我如此契合的你都开始和我无话可说，我还能去找谁说呢？麦中间有一段很讨人嫌，还好最后没有变得讨厌。前辈去世绢无法与麦共情太真实了，就男女生在某些事情上的想法真的完全不同。两人讨论的各种比如最后一期Smap x Smap、霍比特人等等真是秒回前几年。回归朋友关系后反而可以一起做很多事了，当初你俩不能一人买一台NS一起玩塞尔达吗？
花束般的恋爱语录&独白
人真的好容易被这种虚幻的“默契感”吸引啊，看似很了解彼此，但是连最直白的性格也不愿意显露出来，恋爱中做到坦诚似乎挺难的。完全不是被生活打倒哦，只是被自己打倒了，最爱的只是你自己，可却没想过承认，和谐的两性关系需要沟通啊...需要真诚的沟通啊....不过最爱自己的人啊，从没想过直视自己，又怎么能指望他向对方吐露的是真实的他呢。
迪斯尼也走上了主角一开场就死掉转生异世界的邪路！
虽然我看过修复版的《牯岭街少年杀人事件》，虽然我通关后又玩了好几百小时的塞尔达传说，虽然钻进内部检查天然气储罐是我几乎每年都要做的本职工作，可我看到字幕结束还是不知道照片上那朵花叫什么名字。
看得我说教欲爆棚……天造地设般的契合也可以成为陷阱，那些共同的爱好成为了眼前的树叶，挡住了远处的整片森林。表面上，步调的不一致让两个人渐行渐远，但缺乏沟通才让很多不是问题的问题变成了问题。讽刺的是，正是书影音的契合使两个人满足于“我很了解对方”的假象，忽视了沟通，也没有唤起对不断变化成长的对方真诚而持久的兴趣。你喜欢今村夏子我也喜欢今村夏子，你却不知道我心中的理想生活是什么样的。这样的状态是抵御不了生活的风浪的，今村夏子也抵御不了。
完全感受不到这俩人在谈恋爱，单薄而刻意，讨好观众的鸡贼
伪文艺青年在电影的后半段，在小麦把绢送给他的书摔在车后备箱开始哭，一直哭到电影结束。我喜欢两个人一起吵架以后绢在粉饰太平的时候把茶水放在小麦的面前，说好像苦了点，小麦说还好。从头到尾绢一直都是清醒的明白自己的需求，所以她无法忍受爱情的死亡，也无法用婚姻做过往的最后一段装饰。我在屏幕外窥视他们，如同一个从来没有糖果的小孩，看到两个喜欢吃甜点的人把最精美的糖果摔得粉碎融化在泥沼里。世界上最合拍的两个人演绎出爱情如花朵般馥郁又这般容易凋零，除了心痛只剩下唏嘘。
最后他们还是分手了
我们总在追寻某些目标，以为只有找到了才能算是拥有有意义的人生，却忘记了在此之前我们就已经在“生活”的道路上了。以前我们会因为见到新奇的事物而兴奋不已，但如今的我们更多的看到的却是那些不美好的东西，经历得太多仿佛已经没有什么能打动我们，流下的眼泪也渐渐不是因为感动而是因为难过，就连给自己拍的照片都需要美颜才愿意相信这是真的“我”……
就很漂浮，像是看了一个制作精良的豆瓣用户lifestyle in东京的ppt。这个剧本的展开方式还真是完全符合预期……唯一意料之外的是男女主的恋爱能谈这么久，要是让我来写的话俩月就能分（。
有点像欢乐合唱团，表层欢乐励志，细想悲从中来。最后22去地球我也觉得蛮悲伤的，为什么一定要被驯化呢。也可以漫无目的不想活着地活着啊。
比起一个人的寂寞，两个人的寂寞更让人难受
套用波米说开心麻花是给屌丝捏脚的形容，坂元裕二这就是在给文艺青年/文化消费者捏脚——太了解受众画像、像个海底捞服务员一般投其所好。观影前看友邻拿《我们不能白头偕老》力证此片的苍白，看了之后只感慨杀鸡用什么牛刀啊，类似的题材情境主题不要说跟滨口龙介这种戛纳系比了，甚至《剧场》都能降维打击——男女矛盾及如何走向分道扬镳，哪怕是堤幸彦不怎么高明的处理那也是“电影”式的（就拿苏打上班儿之后的转变来说吧，这不就是省略转变过程、剔除复杂性，只留下转变本身最狗血的冲突、标签部分吗——反例：“文艺青年去上班”别说耶茨波拉尼奥了，甚至想想贾樟柯的《站台》那是怎么处理的）此片最突出不电影化的部分其实已经不是打光运镜调度这些了，就是剧作上的——其实每个桥段都要做到扎受众的心，微博热帖高赞评论这种形式也能做到。
这电影应该叫“报菜名般的恋爱”。就这也不能算谈恋爱吧，更类似于口味很像的P友？或者更符合老一辈的那种三观都很正大家处对象的感觉，就感觉挺寡淡的。不过导演把这种寡淡通过金句非常好的表现出来了，作为电影本身还是非常好看的。
這……相對於這麼宏大的命題，實在太單薄了。翡翠白玉羹去掉那濃稠的味精芡，本來可以是鍋挺好的白菜豆腐湯的。不是本樂盲想把爵士抬得多高，但說起人生看開就上爵士，是不是有點太糊弄。再扣一星。
刚从影院出来时很感动。本意是为了给社畜的朋友一点生活的活力而观影。事后回想起来，其实更认同的还是22。知道了那么多大道理，并没有什么用，反而滑向了虚无的深渊。生命是挺美好的。但是如果没有执念好像在哪都没差。事后回想这部电影，多半是痛苦的。
开在山里的野花会凋谢，养在瓶中的花束会枯萎，他抱着新买的卷纸，她夹着新鲜的切花，车站到家的距离有三十分钟，他们边走边吃木村屋的面包。记得他们第一次畅谈，像两个在海上漂流了好久的小孩，为遇到同类而莫名兴奋。她觉得储气罐视频很无聊，他被木乃伊特展吓一跳，但是没关系，无限放大所有的相同，轻轻略去细微的不同，就能实现“维持现状”的人生目标。从简单的喜欢到世俗的幸福，代价是不断压缩梦想，人生真是荒谬，工作与爱好，责任与快乐，同一屋檐下延伸出两条截然不同的路。“开始也是结束的开始”，恋爱的存活率微乎其微，“比起一个人的寂寞，两个人的寂寞要更难熬吧”。告别的那个夜晚，他们像2014年世界杯时被德国猛灌7个球的巴西队，“这一路都一帆风顺，最后还是功亏一篑”。我的“停表错觉”是凌晨2点13分，你呢？
一贯发光发热的金句与小细节让渡于追求普遍共情的大框架，角色们的成长与转变过于俗套反而失去了坂元剧本那种怪招频出的惊喜（特别是最后引入的一组与主角两人相对照的年轻情侣更是一大狗血败笔）。或许坂元裕二的风格就是要靠无聊的对话与细节，用十几集日剧的体量慢慢熬才能看出味道。另外我讨厌的一点是：无论是甜蜜也好受挫也好，一切都太干净了，缺少了在坂元很多故事里都体现出的危险元素，这样的故事只能沦为安慰剂而已。不过倒是也符合一种“文艺青年”的实相。
