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.
sad, Andrew is just fictional🥺
好看的，好遗憾没有办法见证80年代的香港风光。事业与亲情、友情、爱情、前辈后辈的bonding，编剧糅合真实事件的能力真的很强，特别喜欢和真实影像的穿插，很有力，不会突兀，因为这就是扮演、就是会像或不像。我唯一觉得不够好的地方，不是王丹妮的扮相，而是她在整个电影里面没有看出年龄的变化，也没看出来特别大的成长。
点映。傍晚知道草东鼓手离开，晚上看到梅姐穿着婚纱转身说拜拜，觉得人和人的联结好脆弱，爱过的人一个个消失。单说片子，滤镜太假，演员太突兀，节奏太拖沓，台词太主旋律，靠情怀卖一些座……播放到最后一秒影院黑屏，全场还是静静坐着，站在屏幕前的工作人员带头拍了两下手，大家才如梦初醒鼓起掌来。留下只有思念。
4.5/10。如果你是梅艳芳的粉丝，哪怕随便去看一部关于梅艳芳的纪录片，带来的震撼都比这个电影来得强烈；如果你是一个对梅艳芳完全不了解的人，去看一次03' Anita Classic Moment演唱会或者02年与张国荣合作的《芳华绝代》liveshow，你就知道这部电影的「还原」有多么肤浅。（225min ver.）
梅艳芳一生的走马观灯，基本都是主流媒体加小报记者新闻内容的串联，原生家庭也好，（刘德华也好），都没有很深入地探索；但是纪实影像与虚构影像相结合的手法还是很让人动容的，尤其是张国荣葬礼的那一段录像，让很多观众都抹眼泪。王丹妮的演绎有一点生涩，但气质确实很出众；古仔中规中矩啦；张国荣的演员选的就瘦了点...但冲着那么多梅艳芳的原始影像，大量怀旧金曲，总体还是值得一看的；很令人感动的是，片尾曲的时候，全场观众没有一个离场，所有人都安安静静地看完演职人员表，听完最后的曲子。
男主的眼睛看起来很真挚，挺温馨的一段露水情缘
王丹妮和梅艳芳多少还有几分神似，刘俊谦和张国荣就实在相距甚远，从对两人关系的潦草刻画，也可窥见全片剧作的最大问题：想要事无巨细地呈现梅姑演艺生涯所有节点，事业上几乎是不费吹灰之力的顺遂，着力刻画的几段恋情又都没头没尾，花费两小时终究没能让人物有血有肉地立住。可是瘟疫再度肆虐的当下，回望愁云惨淡的2003年，听到告别演唱会最后一声“拜拜”，谁能不泪洒当场。一代巨星落幕，黄金时代也彻底过去，但唏嘘在电影之外，纪录片段也胜过场景还原。如果说《寒战》是香港电影的一次回光返照，那《梅艳芳》不免有寿终正寝之意。
今年收获的一部惊喜之作，太温暖太治愈。这是多美好的青春与成长，男主的温暖善良演绎得很好很舒服，太喜欢了
好典白好中产 can't relate “我大学毕业就失业，和女友异地被甩，出于自尊受挫和其他女的睡了，还爱上了一个有自闭症女儿的少妇，但我依然吃穿住不愁，乐乐呵呵。”五十度飞那女的演技一点没进步，有点像杨幂…
男主的存在不就是一块爱的磁铁吗，吸引爱的前提是你会释放爱，但是剧情里一直单身还挺奇怪的，sweet到不真实，太令人怜惜了。
片子的确有点流水账，缺少点灵魂，但能大屏幕听到梅姐的歌，演员又那么形似，还有一众大牌保驾护航，已经很满足了。芳华绝代，芳华永在！
温暖包容的家人始终是你可以信赖的港湾。
I'm very sorry, man. I'm a dumb kid.
这个男的，too nice to be straight🥹
2.这部电影美化了很多人，反而最是美好的那个人被丑化，意难平。
#SFF2022# 竟然出乎意料地很喜欢，超出预期！其实是白男毕业生的成长故事，自己虽然不是白男但也有一点点共鸣（？）配乐很好（尤其喜欢两人接吻那段响起来的Forest Green）有几场戏气氛是烘托得很好的。（偏个题，男主兼导演神似我的大众脸local py，的确是有种很典型的20 - 30岁普通白男的气质，真的是满分契合角色😂）
流水账加叙事能力差扣两星，捏造事实消费张国荣扣两星，一星留给电影名字本身，不能再多了
电影本身一般，但出于对梅姐和哥哥本人的情怀，还是有被狠狠地感动到，从哥哥死了之后就再也忍不住了😭。他们都说，希望若干年后还能有人记得他们。我想说，无论是否见到天上星星，我都会经常想起他们。
这个真的很治愈 看完心里很温暖，也喜欢达妹，但不喜欢她咬嘴唇的动作
“我感觉，有些事你不想对我说，我看不出你是在压抑想要亲近的愿望，还是压抑想要疏远的愿望。”
