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.
爸，警察打你怎么办？警察怎么会打我呢？我和平、守法而有礼貌。结果，哈哈。1968 Chicago; 2019⋯⋯。
索金目前的两部导演作品都是看完Act 3冲动多打一星。这里的剧本是加分项，但是如果给芬奇这类导演拍，原封照着剧本拍也是4星，if that make any sense...可能最合适还是拍成mini-series。以及雀斑选角好灾难...
读名单那一刻引起的亢奋不如「波斯语课」，不过群情激昂要比后者的行注目礼自然。看起来是在批判，其实是在赞美。
-My life.
有一些点如“酒吧的窗内是惬意奢靡的50年代，而窗外却是鲜血淋漓的60年代”这一幕着实引人深省。但表面看索金是在沉痛的批判，但他越沉痛就越说明他爱美国之深。
斑太可爱了，加✨。老保守左派索金向2020年下的战书（索金眼里的2020=1960，实际上这种语境的呼应也让人迷思），以及生动的ppt展示，Ted talk，网课教学。从头到尾对话没有一秒钟停止过，真是亵渎电影。索金，一个演讲型编剧，风格是高谈阔论和白男支教，但是这种对话结构，在戏剧表现和视听冲击上确实都很讨巧，不过还是适合电视剧的规模。作为电影，用交叉剪辑配合高密度的剧本唤起观众的观影情绪，只是补短而非补长罢了。内容，就怎么说，这算是今年我看过最试图对话严肃命题的商业电影了（含对本时代的一些贬义），感觉很快就会成为各轻知识分子播客对话今年各种activism的隐微材料。
编排完美，歌舞和这种题材太搭了，让人激情昂扬。只有在困境中才能看出一个地方的素质，是否能考虑到尽可能多的情况，关心少数群体，保护动物，人们互相帮助载歌载舞，这才是人性的闪光之处。女机长的独唱更是激励人心。
不然，一个寻衅滋事，完。。。
一边骂警察是猪，一边哀悼越战士兵，左得左右逢源。动嘴念念死人名字是可以的，为活着的退伍伤残拿出抚恤金就难了，还是直接扣老兵一顶杀人凶手的高帽子吧。除开现实层面的虚伪，戏剧层面也站不住。法官像个小丑，但丑角当不了反派，根本不能和嗦金自己写过的尼克尔森相比。这里面没有真正的辩论，只有单方面的宣传。扯半天最后只能用一厢情愿的行为艺术，而不是用语言本身赢得胜利，对这种话痨片真是莫大讽刺。而一个反美片儿能让民小高呼灯塔万岁，只能说地板高于天花板。
是否是在暗示老美民众，他们正在过着跟1968相似的时代？
第一次听到Me and the Sky 还没get全部歌词就哭了，从此记住了这部剧。这次看官摄，从第一首歌里we will not be killed那里就开始哭。疫情后去剧场看的人应该和我一样吧。也希望有一天中国也会有感动全世界的作品，我们经历的也应该让全世界记得。最后，希望巡演赶快重启吧！我要进剧场看！
甘德人民在突发情况下热情接待各地旅客，人人之间相互信任，多么美好
一个感想：在这个年代，煽动情绪远比启发思考要重要得多。哪怕你拍的是法庭戏。
当懂王把今年夏天发生的一切称之为左翼暴乱、拒绝承认美国存在广泛的警暴和种族问题时，艾伦·索金用一部取材于真实历史的法庭片做出了最热血的左派还击，借古与讽今结合得有穿越之嫌。工整、沉稳的剧本揭露了美国不只有民事审判和刑事审判，还有杀鸡儆猴式的政治审判。而在国家机器碾压式的霸凌面前，从被告到律师甚至到检察官都做出了最理想主义的回应。——问题是，我们知道这一切不只是理想主义，而是真实发生过的美国现代史。没有无因的反叛，只有舍身的信念。为什么高举拳头？因为全世界在看。
forget cross-examination, settle in for a 2-hour long cross-lecturing
一个温暖的故事，一场意外带来的意想不到的迫降，每个小镇居民都尽力提供最好的条件给陷入恐慌的乘客们，关于爱的笑泪共存的故事。原卡yyds，女机长姐姐太帅了。
“这还用问？我们每四年都这么干一次。”
剪辑营造了叙事氛围，但为此也牺牲了流畅性，整体是种凌乱的观感。故事本身很值得记录，电影拍的精彩但套路，很"聚焦"，是冲着奥斯卡去的了。
只想知道电影是什么时候拍的，能踩准BLM的点上映也是没谁了。法庭戏精彩，其他部分实在不怎么样。通过一些台词和细节把法官拍的那么令人不齿，让人恨的牙痒，有多少是真实的，这么煽动观众情绪可以吗
