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.
乍一看，本片要表达的主题与FSN里“坚持自己的理想然后获得胜利”的现代童话可说是相反的存在，但其实细想并不冲突，无非只是有人怀有理想有人没有罢了。而生活的权利却人人平等。既然最后的命运之战的前一晚大家认真讨论晚饭吃什么是一种生活，那么坐在阶前看落叶也如是。通晓现代生活同样也会存在着美好的事物，这才是现代童话的本质所在。
为啥看看风中的落叶就能找到自己的spark呢？事实证明我才是那一身黑的lost soul
天呐太棒了。IT狂人里黑人小哥的声音太有辨识度了。
岁月静好里透露着一丝孤独，温情治愈里也透露着一抹孤寂。
喝下这碗鸡汤，哭着承认那些我钟爱的不是我的人生目标，而只是灵魂想活着那一瞬间的火花，还是那句老话seize the day吧。还是被看似梦想实现那一刻虚无地感到人生毫无变化的瞬间戳中，如果我们看待生活的方式没有变化，梦想和目标根本拯救不了我们。别执念，偶尔忘我，jazz一点活吧。生命的意义就是feel every moment。里面的曲子很美。用钢琴说话很美。小灵魂很可爱。
7分。皮克斯很好，迪士尼很好，结合后并不是都很好。剧情不够新颖，画风一般，不过又是一部心灵鸡汤。
Purpose？ You are in the ocean
我要是说觉得一般，是不是很不合时宜？因为我本来就是个非常热爱生活、且活在当下的人啊！从来都觉得没必要去纠结生命的意义，活着本身就很美好了，阳光/微风/落叶/美食……寻常生活平凡又伟大。影片教给我的道理，我早就懂得了，所以我代入不了任何一个角色……但我也很理解非常喜欢这部片子的人。祝大家都能打从心底爱上生活本身吧～另，我最喜欢的角色是那个强迫症社畜Terry！
《青少年心理健康教育十五讲》（皮克斯2020修订版）
选择这个主题就已经值得10颗星,这才是当下每一个人应该看的电影，可惜排片太少，要看抓紧
动画版《柏林苍穹下》。我喜欢那些在灰烬之海里独自消沉的怪物们。
历尽千辛万苦，悟道了几千年，结果投胎了去桂枝，导演你做个人吧
所以22熬了几千年最后投胎到......青海了？！O.o
刚来日本头两年，我就像是“游魂”，我也不知道自己在干嘛，拼命找所谓的“人生目标”。
有些电影看完会觉得多活了一生，这个算一部。确实可以当做2020年的结尾影片。
在电影院里看哭了。飘落的树叶，洒落的阳光，孩子的欢笑，海边的浪花，亲人的拥抱……每一个镜头都能触动我。生活本身是没有意义的，但是认真地过好每一天就是意义。Live at the moment.
2020最后一天治愈了苦大愁深的我，一个人坐在电影院里又哭又笑的，尤其是看到乔伊爸爸带他第一次听爵士，就想起小时候我爸给我画的唐老鸭和维尼。
想起初二时班主任对我的评语：成功离你很近，又似乎很远，只要用勤奋的汗水把雾一点一点消解掉，成功就唾手可得了。
用这部电影来给2020年收个尾着实恰当。过度执着于某一个目标，却也容易在过程中忽视日常的细微的美好。虽然剧情一下子就都被猜中了，但仍不失为走心的心灵鸡汤。没猜中的是，我以为主角（们）将找到的是成为导师/教师的幸福因而决定从教，而这恰恰是我自己的“目标”所形成的“盲区”，当然也更是我自己的体悟。
初生的草，翻开书本的第一页，爱情的开始，发动机开启发出的一阵嗡嗡。你在寻找的意义和目的，打从一开始就随你相伴。听风过耳，就已值得出世为人。
