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.
迂腐之极的文本。厌倦了日本男性以不负责为荣，作践女性和家人后洋洋自得忏悔抵罪的那套低级审美。对母女的苦难刻画得有多细腻，冷眼旁观这一切却无动于衷的男性就有多无耻。男主前后割裂的人设，仿佛山田洋次割裂的屁股：你以为他要用伍迪拉踩小津，结果最终他还是致敬回去，畏畏缩缩不敢改变和反抗，就只能用《开罗紫玫瑰》寄托自己对逃离现实的渴望。
灯火阑珊，悲欢入梦。时光过处，片甲无存…山田先生，90多岁了，老房着火，煽情请谨慎啊！
欲言又止的美，結局來得太晚，年輕時的奶奶真美。把我哭慘。
呃好难看，尤其现代戏枯燥乏味，情怀也并不真挚，致敬也流于表面，难受
91岁的山田洋次导演还是非常了不起的，《电影之神》也是，与之相比，张艺谋导演的《一秒钟》那样的电影几乎可以忽略不计，原因可能在于，后者似乎永远停留在最基本，甚至是原始的精神状态与追求上。
可以说叙事等同于没有。没有叙事动力，只是情怀的堆砌。
神也無法搶救的無力感 打咩！打咩！！
剧本太无聊了甚至腐朽。有创新的稚嫩想法，没有落实的坚决信念，最后回归放荡的本性任其一生。理所当然地仗着他人的爱意和奉献而“过得幸福”，拾起来才华就可以一帆风顺，家庭和人生的失职则可以弃之不顾。洋次郎是带资进组吗（笑）
真是老一辈电影人的表达方式，想想《福尔摩斯二世》距今都快一百年了，今天流媒体崛起影院衰落，可能以后的电影观众都很少会有影院/银幕情结了。考虑到山田洋次的年纪，不忍再用“过时”一类的说法，更何况他也许只是想了却自己的心愿。而新一代的电影人则必须找到一条新的路。【6】
辞职的转折确实太过突兀，没人能这样轻易放弃，从这里开始，好不容易垒砌的积木算是彻底塌掉了。
山田洋次（现在要尊称一声老爷子）电影包含一种有温度的专属黄颜色
就算是山田洋次也無法買帳，劇情老套，人設迂腐，芝居がクサイ。拍電影也沒講好，愛情線也沒講好。喜歡的就只有救濟映畫館和暗示松竹經典作。幾乎是本片僅有的兩個正常人：Lily和志尊淳。
这是致敬松竹100周年的作品，同时也是写给所有电影人与电影观众的「情书」。山田洋次作为家庭戏「鼻祖」宝刀不老，大师级别的控场及调度在全篇得以极致发挥。平行叙事的剪辑恰到好处不失真诚，脚本的核心是映画却又紧扣「爱」的主旨。无论泽田研二老爷子还是苏打均奉献了优异演技。「让电影回归爱」，这该是个永恒的主题。百年松竹人许是都经历过这一切，才能有如此深刻地体会在其中。结尾那一下有被深深打动，谢谢电影，谢谢电影人。
山田大导的片子，剧本永远不会崩，有好演员就最少提一档。泽田老流氓跟Soda演得是真像，永野芽郁可真不像只有20岁，景子姐姐跟Lily弗兰克都快逗死了。没想到大导如此年纪，还能把这样一个烂熟的情怀梗玩得如此生动，松竹的百年不就是这些小人物的一百年吗？要不是地质礼堂这个烂影院体验太差，还能多半星。
分数：60
☆：3- 你看松竹这艘大船它又平又稳（唯一喜欢的地方是向mini theater文化致意）

套了一个壳，本身还是山田导演擅长的温暖细腻、潺潺流水。母亲、儿子、女儿、弟弟……这一回中心人物是一个家庭的主体——男人，他是丈夫，是父亲，是爷爷（外公）。喜欢山田洋次的人，都知道，90高龄的他，也正渐渐地离我们远去。且看且珍惜！令我觉得遗憾的是，男一、女二，这俩重要角色的出演人选或许可以再斟酌。
#BJIFF#主角从银幕走出来的桥段，开罗紫玫瑰+今夜在浪漫剧场，制片厂时代还带着浪漫主义的光晕，愿大家的电影之神长长久久🙏🏻永野芽郁真是太可爱了
老男孩的电影人生。在电影中收获了梦想与爱人（男主是娶错了老婆，而他太太也嫁错了男人），结尾虽有卖弄情怀之嫌，但也的确有是那么点感动的。北川景子演出了昭和时代日本女性的感觉。
