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.
没有给满分可能是由于观影当下的主观心情导致的，所以不确定换个状态来看会不会给满分；最击中我的竟然是那群与沉醉心流只有一线之隔的迷失在执念中的黑怪物形象，觉得自己此刻的状态应该就是这个，真是触目惊心；“你所苦苦追寻的可能就是你此刻身处其中的”这个老梗再次令此刻的我感到迷茫和懵逼，我仿佛正身处我的大海但是我时常感到溺水这是为什么orz；另，画面制作真酷！！！geek独具的炫酷！！！；总之，经典美式鸡汤可！！！
无甚新意。打出高分的大抵是尚未堪破人生奥义的青少年吧 - 自觉「怀才不遇」的那些尤甚。按理说男主设定37岁，资质平平，泯然众人，早该觉悟并拥抱平凡亦可韵味的生活，却还要经历这番奇遇曲折才得了菩提，大概是此前被老母亲保护得太好吧。（话说回来，这年头连动画片都来教大家deal with ordinary living了，时局不可谓不艰难。）
爵士乐的主题很棒，能感受到很多细腻温柔的内里。其实哪有什么梦想至上，光是做到好好活着这一件事，就已经很了不起了。生活本身，就比其中所谓的闪光点要伟大得多。去好好感知它，这是有灵魂的人该做的事。
举重若轻，也可以说聊得不够深入。比这几年最好的头脑特工队和疯狂动物城还差一点。里面转世的概念挺佛教的，而寻找内心spark又是典型西方价值观。
皮克斯的审美和技术无需讳言，开头那段生死之交的量子空间的视觉呈现非常棒，可惜有点短，回到现世之后就普通多了。成片的评价最终还是归于主旨和立意——比《头脑特工队》稍弱，比《寻梦环游记》强太多，依然还是立足于与自我的和解，从成功学、社会达尔文和黑暗森林理论里解脱出来，享受生命中闪光的喜怒哀乐与回忆，才真的不枉来人世走一遭啊。四星。
皮克斯年度治愈之作。不是每个人都有宏大的理想，对生活的热情和生活中的点滴美好才是支撑我们活下去的力量。它可以是一块美味的披萨，一段美妙动人的街头卖艺，一次和理发师的愉快对话。愿你像刚出生一样活着，对世界永远充满好奇心，善于发现生活中的美。愿每一个迷失的灵魂都能找到归途。
属于那种看完让人觉得生活多美好的电影，皮克斯玩概念真的玩的太高级了，熬鸡汤也是一把好手，这一次不单是关注友情、爱情、亲情等传统概念，变成了生活本身，当动画电影都开始谈论活着的意义了，电影世界真的太神奇了。
成功不是生命的那一口甘甜，缺了角的披萨也能治愈饥饿的时光，你不必大有所长、你不必光芒万丈。
你明知道他在说教，在给你熬并不高明的鸡汤，但是呢，丧丧的我看这个还是感觉很治愈。为什么人生一定要有目标，为什么什么事情都要有意义呢。庆祝无意义。
4.5分，不喜欢这个结尾。我认为“火花”是获得“惊异感”的能力，它们各式各样，是一种活下去的动力。孩童在成为成人前充满了“惊异感”，而成人渐渐感到失去生活的意义原因之一在于惊异感的消失，解决方案抑或是保持“孩童”状态，抑或是传递、交接的使命感。男主回去找22出于后者，但是结尾改变生命规则的上帝视角，与这套理论是不自洽的。
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
3great beyond和great before。生与死的循环，中间就是人间。生命的意义从来不是一个purpose，而是这个过程本身。
要目送秋叶翩然归土，要为日落的绝美而泪目，也要因绿芽冒出土地而欣喜，对初升的朝阳跳跃欢呼。这些微末，也会令人觉得不虚此行、不枉一生。
2021年看的第一部电影，【强烈推荐！！】太！好！看！了！我们有多少时间为了追逐成功的执念，而放弃了生活的本真？天气好的时候，听见风声穿过草丛，闭上眼睛感受阳光透过枝叶，闻到空气里混杂着泥土味复杂的城市的气息，尝到了直击灵魂的美味食物，所有这一切似乎微不足道的事情，组成了生命里不可或缺的瞬间。只要愿意去感受，活着，不在这一处，也会在下一处找到不枉此生的意义，它不需要是多响亮和惊天动地，也可以微弱如一片树叶旋转着落在手心。谢谢皮克斯创造出这些奇妙的世界，带给我们超出我们此生之外的心灵火花！
1jazzing。爵士的精髓就是improvize，go with the flow and enjoy the moment
想起我在北京一个人上下班的日子，我喜欢坐双层巴士看北三环的沿路风景。我一直热爱生活点滴，也望生活多善待我一些。
满分满分，哭成狗。喜欢那群二维人物，像mac的finder，像毕加索的画里走出来的形象。
这一味“心灵鸡汤”还是有一些管用的，会忽略走上天梯的猫的灵魂在他们返回去了哪里；
我們所經歷的每個平常的日常，就是連續發生的奇跡
Ryan Gosling saved Jazz and it killed Jamie Foxx. 平行解构现实堪比Inside Out，情节紧凑冲突刺激笑点炸裂，内容充实同时内核又饱满，一边讲灵魂一边更讲生活，没有目的真的会活得很辛苦，而活在当下又谈何容易。最好的黑人电影
