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.
前半段真的很喜欢。看的过程中我努力忽略罗密欧与朱丽叶部分，把它当热血高校和斯派克李的为所因为看。好多大场面和调度都很好看，50年代的纽约穷街陋巷和街上各种凯迪拉克老爷车怀旧氛围拉满。老爷子下一部电影造梦之家感恩节上映，也是自传式作品，整个老一辈的大导演都开始人生自我总结了。有时候我常常忘了，斯皮尔伯格是个多好的导演，从近了说我们这些影迷更爱吹诺兰昆汀或者维伦纽瓦，远一点我们又爱吹库布里克。其实老爷子电影票房之王可比卡梅隆或者上一个十年冯小刚伟大多了。他依然是那个出新电影你一定会去看的导演。虽然后半部分剧情拉胯，我还是说，我喜欢这电影。当然也和我太喜欢爱乐之城有关系。甚至我之前很喜欢歌舞青春舞出我人生这类美国歌舞片，如果在影院看，前半部分会更加喜欢，后半部分感受如何就想象不到了。
what the fuck is this
竟然是斯皮尔伯格导演的 本来还以为纽约黑帮的故事 结果是一帮游手好闲的小B崽子的故事 老爷子这是想年轻年轻呗
{★★★★} 这个世界像需要禁断的恋爱一样需要有社会回响的悲剧--Arthur Laurents的悲剧如此冲击我的原因是它只撕开了伤口、却不等待愈合，它的角色捧着各式各样的美梦，但在最后，没有人的梦幸免于难。说比唱多，歌比舞多，但我两眼缭乱，心怀温柔。我爱街头的痞子行军，爱体育馆的百花齐放，爱镜头的每一次运动与游览。六十年后我们仍感伤同样的故事，这是世界变好了还是变差了？或许都没有，只是我们还惦念着永不老去的、美的昙花一现。
两个主角演技太不行了，加上故事本身的问题，就完全无法共情两个人的爱情和一些行为（like男主杀了女主哥哥当晚男女主没有什么心理负担地就滚床单了，不说男主是不是故意，怎么说也是一个杀了人一个死了哥哥，实在是令人不解的程度。以及用爱劝说刚刚失去所爱的嫂子让嫂子共情的那段，也就是故事让嫂子原谅你，而我只能想到琼瑶阿姨：哥哥只是死了，我却要失去我的爱情了。哥哥嫂子的爱自然是比不上男女主的爱，当然选择原谅他们啊ˊ_>ˋ
中国真的是歌舞片坟场。这片子在北美不说叫好叫座，起码褒大于贬是肯定的。但在豆瓣简直快变成斯皮尔伯格生涯污点了。桑德海姆早期作品还很古典，罗密欧与朱丽叶的主题，这版电影和老版以及音乐剧原作的剧情都没有太大改动。古典不代表过时，况且舞美真的很强，桑德海姆哪怕不那么别出心裁，也远远高过百分之九十的音乐剧作家。
歌舞片的度不好把握，假定性低于舞台剧，不能照搬音乐剧表达；又在阿斯泰尔到吉恩凯利转向后能实现“随时在街上唱跳”，太写实非让每次唱歌都要意识到我要唱而不是说就太死板。我思来想去觉得成功密码是演员的银幕人格和编舞精彩程度。老版太照搬舞台调度，靠编舞挽回不少，新版努力兼顾但有些地方又太实了，不过斯老尽力了！歌曲改得都很好，something‘s coming格局抬高了，cool挪得很好还送了一段编舞，Gee, Officer Krupke增加了讽刺力度，somewhere让老版Anita来唱真神啊，应该就是桑爷爷点赞的那首改动～技术好，但表演……Anita一向最出彩这次也扛得住期待（America永远令人落泪），Maria有点失望，Riff我特别不喜，Tony十分油腻，Bernardo则呆滞……
这种故事啥都不改放到银幕上太违和了，街头火箭队和鲨鱼队火拼真的像两群gay gansters在斗舞。‘罗密欧’上阳台的经典场景看着像徒手攀岩，配不上‘tonight’。
其实对原版就不太感冒 这个新版更多了一份尴尬
也不知道为啥，这几年看不进去这种爱情片了。看的时候一直在想，这要是昆明“西山区故事”，西山区马街两个街溜子帮派相互不对付，帮派里有男女相爱，但帮派成员互砍出了人命，我会感动吗？恐怕社会新闻出现的时候，我都不会多看一眼，更不可能感动。不能因为这帮老外会唱歌跳舞就不一样吧？马街的街溜子搞不好还会唱山歌跳花灯呢。思来想去，可能主要原因还是男女主没有打动到我。当然了，最后男主背后中枪，却没有扭头看身后，而是径直奔向女主那一小段，还是有感动到我。
在技术上场面调度和摄影非常亮眼，可是除此之外一切都设计的四平八稳，没有冒险精神可言。舞跳的再好也没有展现出任何表达欲求，肢体语言还是陈旧乏味。泽格勒有才华，但演技有待提升。
前半段过于糟糕。这个电影的调色真的是瞎搞。服装过于混乱。作为歌舞片甚至歌舞也很一般。失望。
喜欢编舞，是我心目中西区故事的模样。男主啥东西，这里还可以通过唱唱歌掩盖一下拙劣的演技，tokyo vice里面就完全不能看了。
25.12.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | 实力太硬了！太久没看Spielberg真是都忘了好的电影是这个样子的。我对于Ariana DeBose就是成长粉，真是越来越好了！Mike Faist这玩世不恭的颜给我往死里磕！
剧本的基本结构没动，只是增加了一点文戏，丰富了人物背景，为了适应电影，老版更舞台风，虽然时长没变，但新版感觉更紧凑，叙事节奏更好。故事还是那个罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事，完全看不懂的爱情和莫名其妙死掉的人，这一点不管哪版都一样的蠢。歌曲顺序恢复到基本和音乐剧里相同，感觉更加合理顺畅，老版里改掉的歌词都还原了，这么多年依然好听。新版我最爱的就是歌舞部分，America本来就是我最喜欢的一首歌，这次的编舞更是观赏度爆表，几场大型歌舞戏都是大师级的场面调度，剪辑也好，最后出来的效果就非常有感染力。最爱的三个演员，Mike Faist，Ariana DeBose和David Alvarez都演技歌舞俱佳，Rachel Zegler胜在歌唱得好，Ansel Elgort就是演技歌舞稀烂到全方位被所有人吊打。
又一部IMDb评分高于豆瓣评分的电影，而个人观感介于二者之间。—— 看过获得十项奥斯卡奖的1961年电影版（个人并没有很喜欢，当初知道史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格导演要翻拍有些意外，但还是因此有点期待），因而对其故事和歌舞大致有所了解，2021年版算是不功不过符合我的预期，倒是艺术指导（尤其是还原20世纪50年代纽约街头的布景）、服化道、灯光摄影等技术方面的出色让我比较惊喜。★★★☆
女主可以不要这么恋爱脑吗？
跟舊版相比沒有太對新東西，但是史匹柏用調度、用更加圓融、極具渲染力的方式讓演員進入歌舞，讓觀眾回到1960年代。歌舞方面比起舊版帶入的更加自然，所有經典曲在稍微更改呈現方式的情況下，處理的更符合現代觀眾的審美觀，當然讓我尬的地方還是有，但是作為史匹柏第一次嘗試歌舞類型，整體瑕不掩瑜，燈光、美術、演員全在線，新版Anita依舊光彩奪目，新版的Maria在矮小的身軀中襯托出動人的表演。全片最抓人也最加分的段落，非舊版Anita個人的獨角戲莫屬，那段哀傷的歌唱隨著蒙太奇的交錯剪輯，醞釀出了與過往的自己和解之道，歷史一再地重演，究竟要重演多少次才能有和平的到來。新版前面80%的內容我都很喜歡，但後面20%沒有特別改動的第三幕我不太喜歡，老史匹柏對電影的熱情，在這部獻給他父親的電影中真切感受到了。
原版西区故事的蓝光修复画质非常出色，当时看完才知道michael jackson的beat it就是模仿的西区故事，所以对新版翻拍还是有点小期待了。结果这新版为了政治正确，为了彰显西班牙语和英语平起平坐，西班牙语对话没有字幕……斯皮尔伯格你干脆和吴京合作战狼3吧。
★★★★★十颗星送给Mike Faist绝妙的歌舞和表演！两极交战的痛苦观感，精妙绝伦的调度、摄影、服装、编舞，舞台布景彻底转为cinema的催眠，只有复杂微妙深不可测的视觉技巧才能做到，旧好莱坞的回魂仪式徐徐掀起幕布。但是魔法师执着推移造梦轨道，星尘却荡然无存，驱动咒语失声在任何精确到毫厘的浪漫方程式都无法补救的男女主角化学反应的先天厄运，消音在顶级制作亦难以遮掩的致命唱跳短板，而翻新期许被不可抗力导致的错误选角和保守的种族性别的多重隐语移植再造所扑灭。不同于音乐优先的默认语法，肢体碰撞之间汹涌的爱恨世仇和喷溅的荷尔蒙成为叙事行进的鼓点和层次，瓦砾和盐尘破败颓废却生机灼热的美学表达呼之欲出。几段载入影史级别的典范配合回想起来只是因为有Mike Faist在其中。很遗憾，这本可以是一部杰作。
