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.
非常激动！非常喜欢！短评肯定写不下了，简单记一点，争取明天写长评。昨天看了滨口龙介的《夜以继日》，刚看个开头就知道稳了，没想到今天奇迹再临！男女主角在影院里看的芬兰电影是考里斯马基的《希望的另一面》，去年12月我在SFC看的。
#Toho 算是冲着坂元裕二去的，果然还是旁白电影，导演的字幕地位还不如脚本，哈哈哈哈哈哈。作为曾经在调布附近居住过的学生，还真是挺有内味的，剧本上还是挺喜欢这个很实在的学生和打工人的变化，最后也讨论了恋爱的初心如何继续保持到结婚？可以么？永恒话题，两个人的相处方式…伤感了… 缺点就是，旁白太多了，巧合太多了^_^
With彬彬，电影挺流畅的，就，唉，前面的小女生哭的稀里哗啦，虽然最后也流下了一些金鱼的眼泪，内心波澜却不大。此刻我突然意识到，已经是一个终极异化的老阿姨了。
导演表达soulmate的方式就是文化消费内容相同吗，简直看哭鲍德里亚
没勇气试探爱情的存活率了 大家爱的都是多巴胺产生的回忆罢了
我在庸庸碌碌的生活中丢失了你，也丢失了自己。这部影片似乎是在说，爱情消失的时候，或许不必过分悲伤，毕竟这才是生活的常态。可我还是哭得不行，真是可恨呀……想起婚姻故事中的那句，“我依然爱你，可是我的爱已不再有意义”。
即便有着矫揉的雕饰感，却仍精细地刻画出了时光流逝中坚硬的生活在看似漫不经心间留下的无法抹去的划痕。
傻逼影院字幕只能显示半截…全程跟练日语听力一样半猜半看字幕。电影结束后都不知道那只小猫叫什么名字…边看边纠结男主叫小麦还是小青，女主叫小绳还是小缇…不过是属于为数不多的能让人释怀的be结局，看完后想回家再把最开始的一小时看一遍…
……纠结了很久是三星还是四星……毕竟软弱好骗如我依然会被那些庸常中刻意放大的美好细节流下廉价的眼泪。这个故事换在几年前我一定会很喜欢。但在经历几个因为有过些共同话题就被纠缠不休的乌龙后，我对故事的开头就已经无甚好感，而这个故事除去这些美好的“共同语言”滤镜，不过是乏善可陈千篇一律甚至有轻描淡写之嫌的情感博主日记，一眼看到底。坂元裕二的剧本的确很讨巧，电影文学音乐戏剧，毁灭一切理想才能活下去的恶俗现实，甚至在Google map上看全景照片的小癖好都能对上我自己，可类似悲剧经典模式的爱情宿命论依然并非简单用罗曼蒂克于被资本左右的人生中消磨殆尽就可以说完说尽的。这是个值得怀念的故事值得所有水仙花情结的文艺青年隔着陈年滤镜对耿耿于怀的年少过往泪水涟涟，也正因如此约等于什么都没说。
对于文艺青年观众，目测代入感应该很强吧！他俩看《希望的另一面》时，我真的惊了（虽然男主睡着了）。打工人累到像狗，还有什么心情看阿基呢。可我还是突然升起那种心情，如果一个男孩子不喜欢阿基的电影，我又怎么可能和他恋爱呢？但又仅仅是恋爱而已，恋爱是为了开心，但结婚又不一定嘛。
真实又细致地记下了恋爱全链路里宿命般的时刻，能这样流畅又令人动容地处理cliche正是导演的本领所在。找到文化符号与生活方式完全共鸣的人带来的精神愉悦的确是无与伦比的，愉悦程度与小众程度成正比（大概也一种自恋的表现，但制造不孤独假象的事情谁不爱呢）。两年时光里极致的快乐与充盈，已是人生的高光时刻。永恒并不那么重要吧。
刚开始总有浇不息的热情，但恋爱和花束都有一样的难题，如何保鲜？我觉得参与感很重要，一起去完成、分享、观看、阅读、解锁未完成…
日影有时还真是一把温柔杀人刀——以为受尽青春片洗礼早就铁石心肠的我，在结尾一幕还是破防了——曾经感慨过一段感情里那么多生活化的情景，要怎么才能不露痕迹不显造作的搬上银幕，能做到这一点的导演和演员真的凤毛麟角，所谓文艺片的“文艺”气质其实大都也来自于此——而这样浓烈寓于平凡、浪漫又充满实感的好电影，总以为有很多但实际真的稀有啊！两小时而已，却感谢不已，感动不已。// PS. 让叔资深打酱油专业户doge
（重看补标）苏打别看《牯岭街》了，看看杨德昌的《青梅竹马》吧！片里经典台词送给他：“结婚不是万灵药，只是短暂的希望，让你以为一切可以重新开始的一种幻觉”……看完最大感触依然是刚毕业进社会的学生→社畜身份/心态转换期真的很难熬。
兴趣只是相互了解的一种方式，兴趣相投不是稳定关系的必要条件。当然，年轻时兴趣几乎是可控时间的全部，爱好相同的话一同度过共同的时间建立亲密关系会更容易一些，但也往往会产生以为心灵合二为一并能够持续到永远的错觉吧……走入社会后，兴趣不可能是生活的重心，柴米油盐、生活习惯、价值观、未来的计划等等都是更重要的事。恋爱如同花束，美丽但终究会枯萎，不过只要拥有过也是很幸运的一件事，反正对我来说他们那几年最美好的时光是我不敢奢求的。我从本质上大概还是一个现实主义者吧，我不会相信永恒、不会对热情的生命抱有期待、也不认为存在双方都不用妥协的亲密关系，生活本就是不断用回忆抵抗失望的过程，曾经拥有比完全没有要好上太多，这样想的话……或许能够装出一幅微笑并心怀祝福地告别的样子吧……
如果说，一个喜欢文学作品的学生变成社畜后开始研读所谓的“成功学”鸡汤了，那只能证明他之前读的书不够多。
花开花谢花无悔，缘来缘去缘如水。兴趣爱好的合拍远不如人生阶段的合拍来得重要。何苦抱着枯树过一生，从而磨灭了当初花开时的美好。P.S.坂元为什么这么喜欢写分手和离婚，可不可以乐观一点。P.P.S.「別れる男に、花の名を一つは教えておきなさい。花は毎年必ず咲きます（请教给分手的他一种花的名字。每一年花都必将开放）。」这句话最初出自川端康成的小说，后来有川浩也引用过。不知道是不是博客里那句话的出处。
书影音100%match有什么屁用，同居后面出去吃饭都是各吃各。男的就瞎*b忙，主要没有深层的交流了。男主的两次求婚都太糟糕了，他把婚姻当做维系现状的稻草，可爱都已经不在了啊。我很喜欢最后那段分手戏里的村花，坚定又勇敢。爱会消亡，美好会像花束一般隽永吗，我觉得不一定欧。
坂元裕二真的每个剧本开头都写得超好，然后没有一个不烂尾，写个好结尾对他来说真的太难的……豆瓣应该投资一下这部电影的翻拍版，把里面所有手机壳、衣服、帆布鞋、帆布包、手帐、收藏夹啥的全换成市集豆品，书影音日记相册广播同城小组功能全用上，简直完美的宣传。
总体印象是蛮俗套的文艺败给现实题材，男女主的文艺取向像双胞胎，如果是我遇到会觉得很可怕。想吐槽的点：1. 说好听音乐要戴两只耳机呢？2. 996太害人了说好5点下班呢？3. 第三年就有分手迹象拖到第五年，说起来你俩不是才上班三年么？4. 我也喜欢用巴西输7个球安慰自己哈哈 5. 男主怪女主不为前辈之死伤心，可她为面包店倒闭伤心你也没理啊 6. 男主是结婚狂吗我也想选小田切让！ 7. 结尾女主哭得太美了，最升华的一段。
