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.
丁若铨说服不了张昌大放下功名写鱼谱，就如同家居婶说服不了丁若铨接受安逸、不作为的流放生活一样。“子非鱼”是一个终极问题。
最后一场高潮戏的爆发力值得学习。剪辑不错。
拍法非常不可以，哪来这么高分。近乎病态地直接表现暴行（孟买酒店也这样，算是风格化了吗？你确定观众的反应是你想要的？），却对律师毫无描绘平板一块，简直天降英雄。法官更是无欲求的青天大老爷，最终只能是下面人的错，并不触及系统，是与中国电影同归了。
完全可以给我国拍历史题材影片的工作者们打个样
1、原来韩国受中国文化影响如此之大；2、是因为中国历史上这样被流放的人太多了，所以中国创作者就体会不到而拍不出来了么？就像昌大没法把对鱼的了解当成可以惠及后人的知识；3、电影节奏极好，用黑白色掩饰现代建筑的色彩，既讨巧又符合古味，而且契合社会黑暗之内涵，群星出彩和青鸟飞空是锦上添花；4、电影以当下韩国对中态度，没有正视中国文化古时在管理、教育和科举之打通阶层等作用，还以“空贴”讥讽，整体以两位主角逃避官场的姿态，并以简要笔触论西优东劣，减一星。
在流放地，做个黑色的无名者。明净之物，可寄托我心。
太惨了，即便是几条狗被这样打，看着都会无比难受。整体而言渲染的痕迹有些重，反而导致冲击力下降。
大学之道，在明明德，在亲民，在止于至善。要立志做大事，不要做大官。
小众韩国王阳明， the book offish。与万物共生，士大夫精神。
太喜欢这种黑白美学了。
文王既没，文不在兹乎？韩国人刻画的高士流放博物志。电视剧般的调度和剪辑稍有不适，但仍有几个机位十分的小津，怪不得有评论说片子是一首苏东坡之歌。淡水之味，海胆之味，粟米之味，高洁与狡黠的生存之道。一次次追问书生立于庙堂山野之“人”的理想。儒学与现代性的暗流涌动，由真理之溪汇入情感之海。飘然的诗句，在污泥中悟得此生之义理。
ps：配乐很棒。
小镇做题家：这都是人们不遵从马导师导致的。
数码黑白的质感确实差点儿
虽然以黑白片的形式表达出来，但明显感觉到场景是相当优美。浊浪排空，日星隐曜，浮光跃金，静影沉璧。男儿何治世？以庄子孔子的思想，还是基督信仰。为了功利为了入世而学习却不能为民。归去来兮，老师已在著书中西去。
满怀热情和希望，观影2小时40分钟，虽然有虐的部分，但结局很圆满，正义得到了伸张，朕心甚安。他们有不计报酬，只为正义而战的律师，有不出卖良心，秉公调查案件的警察，更重要的有公平执法的法官，何其幸运。据说这是一部真实事件背景的影片，禁不住琢磨，如果换一块土壤，结局还会是如此吗？
韩国人拍了一部中国电影人一直没有拍的电影。格物致知，事功能力差，君臣父子那套的阐述挺好。但这样的一部儒家传统思想和西方宗教文化相碰撞的电影由韩国人来拍，真觉得有丢孔夫子的脸。
这部三月底才上映的电影，就被下周要举行的百想提名最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳剧本、最佳双男主。如果不是因为提名，我可能根本不会知道它。如何在东西方文化碰撞的腐败现世里追求信仰，如诗如画娓娓道来。非常喜欢。简单查了一下导演李濬益的作品集：王的男人、思悼、素媛………难怪。
拍得有点“卡通”，但这部电影……或者应该说是这个故事里被侮辱与损害的人，以及这位律师，真的非常了不起。
作为女人，对儒教的毒害深恶痛绝，但并不影响去理解开创者们高远的思想。丁先生是在奋勉的学习圣礼学后又痛苦的思索了千万遍才选择了最后的方向吧。看到后面，才发现李导是安那其友人，恨不得再打十星。PS：在豆瓣看韩影评论，永不缺席的都是那群大中华主义者的自怨自艾，好笑，解压。
