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.
两度为老乌和他的故事落泪😭😭
老乌的演员演技最好，演儿子那位上海话和演技都是最拉垮。整体不错，结尾有点太规整了。
预定年度最佳，目前为止看过最好看的商业电影，有趣又有深度，难能可贵。
大大超预期，法租界市井又洋气，马伊琍终于不土味了一次，看到徐峥在画廊里给两位女性观众道歉的那段就知道一定是女导演，只有女性才懂女性！让徐峥作为男导演在大荧幕上给全国女观众道歉绝对是中国电影史上最女权的一次！费里尼的爱情神话是这辈子也不可能补了，意识流+古罗马古装戏普通人是无法消化的，怪不得连导演都要致敬式吐槽了。
当每一个梗都被电影所框定的受众群猜到时，多少就有些卖派了。
看完不得不感叹，也许能在影像里把女人和男人表现得那么有特色又有情有义的，只有上海了吧。
学费里尼最像的大陆电影，甚至有迷影情结过剩之嫌，可是机智的台词和精彩的对手戏实在是赏心悦目。这种以艺术中年为中心的题材放在北京肯定三分爹味七分油腻，但放在上海这种既洋派又有生活气息的城市就显得清新讨喜，至少我不觉得矫情。
电影可以正面看，横着看，还可以快进看，边涂润手霜看，这样就好。
下半夜回家，在昏暗的楼梯被突然一阵水声吓得半死，转过头看到熟悉的大红色水桶，原来三楼又把那只乌龟放到家门口站岗……属于上海的烟火气啊，这也算其中一件吧～
方言之于一部城市主义的影片来说，只有魅力的加分，完全可忽略字幕的阻碍。敬佩导演的勇气和决心，敢于坚持“国产外语片”。对白很用心，没有烂梗、没有说教，是恰到好处的幽默感和生动自然的烟火气。记住了邵艺辉这位新人女导演/编剧，片中的几位新时代女性的人设立得落落大方，女性主义的表达方式也坦坦荡荡。演员都很到位，尤其要为周野芒和吴越爆灯。不追求爆笑，只求会心一笑。不是情绪大起大落的法官刺激，但在适当的时候还是会戳中你。不是光环加持的大人物神话，也不是处处碰壁的小人物笑话，是“我有一个朋友”那种普通但也值得与人说道的家常话。
终于，我们有了一部讲述都市成年人世界、成年人爱情的，即有一定生活的正常气息，又有一些理想主义色彩，还夹杂了些文学青年（中年）乌托邦梦想的轻喜剧了。爆笑，以及，热泪，都是我真实的反应。
吃火鍋的時候看的。精確地把我傳送到了我小時候最厭惡、最想擺脫、為此和前女友爭吵了八百次、如今終於徹底斬斷關聯的文藝小清新的世界。一下子火鍋都不香了。希望我有生之年都不會再重新回到這個時空中了。以前有朋友說，他吃飯很喜歡帶上我，這樣我就可以鎮壓住在場想起文藝范的小清新，懟到他們灰頭土臉、原形畢露。這個場面讓我想起了絕美之城和青春年少，在華麗、光鮮千萬倍的音樂和視覺場域中，導演無情地展示了對自己作品沒什麼想法、只會一遍遍強調這是藝術的藝術家，以及缺失了他人認可就活不下去的導演。可惜這種假文藝氾濫的都市浮華，竟然被用作了刻畫浮華的精緻手段。導致連浮華都是浮華的。我已經過於厭倦這種用文藝和服飾一起裝扮空虛的自己的氛圍。一顆星給吳越老師演得真好，另一顆給難得的上海話劇本，讓我學到了很多鮮活的吳語表達。
老乌的演员演技最好，演儿子那位上海话和演技都是最拉垮。整体不错，结尾有点太规整了。
“我的人生好像一直在走下坡路诶，那我明天去约你爬山吧”。
7/10，分些些虚高了。
老乌的演员演技最好，演儿子那位上海话和演技都是最拉垮。整体不错，结尾有点太规整了。
8/10。看完后忍不住拍手称赞“灵足”！它的存在让中国电影有了新的可能性。全沪语的日常对话让上海风情在举手投足间肆意流淌，导演在致敬费里尼的过程中做得最好的一点就是拍活了一个城市。同时，它的笑点是高级的，女性形象再也不是固化的了，甚至男性形象都呈现出丰富性。每个演员都散发着魅力，三人美术馆的交锋戏让人拍案叫绝。市井与艺术、神话与日常，是可以相互融合、相互转化的。在真与假之间，我们寻着喷泉，睡倒在电影院，穿越大半个世界，构造出自己的爱情神话。
5老白 你还是快跑
看了1/3才认出老乌是野芒老师，看到他大晚上骑车到一家名为“夜奔”的小店我简直要被这个梗笑死，大家都挺惦记野芒老师的林冲夜奔经典皮肤哈哈哈。
电影的落幕时刻或许正是导演交付给观众的一份调查问卷。她假借主角们评价费里尼电影好不好看这个由头，其实是试探性地在询问自己的观众，那你们说说，我拍的这部《爱情神话》到底好不好看呢？对此，我只想说，真心好看！
