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.
LMM作为宽街新贵的人脉大展览（最直白的就是sunday餐厅曲的cameo：LMM自己以及他的班底，算是桑爷那儿来的Bernadette Peters和Chita Rivera和André De Shields，我个人看到倍感惊喜的Joel Grey，等等），整体效果无限类似（被按摩师虚假安利给LMM的）加菲的音乐剧电影表现：架势能唬人。（加菲起初的表演实在太像天使在美国时的prior了）（属于LMM和加菲的motif/幽灵船涟漪在片中不停浮现）（对他俩有滤镜，以及在电影中途迅速去买了rent 25周年farewell tour的票，再以及公寓party的bgm有石玫瑰的i wanna be adored，所以给四星）
希望加菲入围各大男主奖项吧 拿不拿也不在乎了~ 他唱歌还是不错的 虽然觉得他最近几个角色都有点歇斯底里的…………
俗人果然还是不适合看歌舞片 倒是希望二代小蜘蛛能拿个奖什么的
剧情也是够俗的，没想到歌舞部分更是灾难，难看又难听（歌词倒是挺有特色）。不如多拍拍加菲游泳。
有点俗……而且歌的确不是特别好……但还是被艾滋的死亡阴影和写作者的痛苦戳到了……虽然这两者也不新吧
Fear or Love…
排练和声段落，每个白人中间都夹着一名少数族裔，格外整齐。太服气了，有劲儿吗？真的开始觉得美国片不如法国片好看了。
剧作结构相当不错，用表现形式回溯，可惜末尾也没让这个叙事空间真实出现，不然可以形成互文的。故事本身有触动我的点不过确实比较自恋，文艺工作者的归宿确实是某种无私的自我创作与表达吧，不过艺术与生活的那个30岁倒数确实也很准确。那个从小玩到大的gay 朋友的故事挺动人，成功与男主对比，相当立体，是很不错的，但也没有完全自洽，他的初心是什么？应该是把艺术当作某种功利性工具，与加菲把艺术当作生活的全部不同，可gay在得知自己阳性之后也没有太明确的行动。这么看，在已有文本的基础上还是显得编剧改编团队不够出色。摄影相当不错，运动摄影很有质感，多层次的分镜表现也让提名剪辑情有可原
或许都是几周以后快三十的人，感同身受。三十岁的我，会有什么成就呢，又需要什么成就呢。
我大概就是不喜欢musical period
“时间从来不能阻挡梦想的脚步，正是因为无法轻易触及，才能令人为之疯狂”。tick, tick…Boom!
用音乐剧讲述音乐剧people创作音乐剧的故事，音乐剧people真是太……算了不说了，多说多错得罪人。
《吉屋出租》对生活的热爱就像烟花一样绚烂，而乔纳森·拉森就是那个滴答滴答的引信。可惜引信燃尽了自己，却欣赏不到烟火璀璨了。Tick, Tick…，翻译成中文就是“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜”，但与其站在水边伤怀，不如尽情的去绽放一次。9
泳池五线谱我也大呼nb
故事有够碎碎念的，加菲演得也好卖力，最后资料视频加1星
一部关于音乐剧作家的音乐剧。LMM导演的第一部电影，一个充满才华的作曲家的陨落。不知道JON是不是LMM的偶像，即便不是，LMM对他也是穿越时空的惺惺相惜。电影中JON的创作过程，那些灵感迸发、自我怀疑、充满热情、坚毅自信……或许都是LMM曾经的亲身体验。不同的是LMM现今大放异彩，而JON却在看到自己成功前半天突然离世。天才惋惜天才，情感上何止充沛，直接溢出。加菲难得有这样的表现机会，表演也是可圈可点，相信在颁奖季会有很强的竞争力。有几首歌挺不错，有让观众跟着一起律动的能力。
《斯通纳》中的melody——爱、认同、怜悯、志业、傲骨、信任与死亡——在剧中流淌。好听好看又好玩😄
剧情一般，演员长相一般，歌曲也不好听，等了2个小时，一直在等一首抓耳的歌，结果也没等到，不知道为啥这么高的分。
年度惊喜，加菲表演太精彩了，剧情流畅，感情细腻，配乐更是美妙。主角团队演唱的每一首歌都超级好听，故事中透露着力量。导演用的叙事手段很高明和传记本尊故事一样激动人心，紧扣人心。一场无与伦比的视听盛宴。
蛮有意思，用了音乐剧，电影，MV穿插形式，让我觉得很有新意。那个sunday的片段很有意思，“一群傻子应该在周日上午在家里，非要在这个铝合金材质的餐厅里花钱喝冷的合成果汁和微波炉贝果”，笑4
