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.
怎么会这么难看。两代演员之间的联系完全东非大裂谷式断开，故事摇摆不定，又想讲爱情又想讲电影魂，一个都没搞好，衔接生硬又尴尬，男主混蛋一辈子最后写个信告白突然就变成感动日本人物了，以及女主宛如被男性意淫出来的人物。可能剧本被不可抗力修改过吧，（菅田将晖演的很好）只有回忆的那1/2能看吧，男主老去后的演绎令人无语。一星都不能加。
@地质礼堂·北影节 昭和气息满满 写给旧时光和电影的情书 但是总拍着拍着就整一些爷奶爱情也不知道为啥 感觉有点两边都没处理好了 过去真好 能完成年轻时候的梦也真好。
看完問自己，如果這不是山田洋次的作品，我是不是依然會這麼失望？雖然因為山田洋次而多了期待，但是，還是會失望吧，即便把電影寫進了片名而我卻沒法感受到對電影熱烈的愛，反而因為對夢想的輕易放棄而更讓人難以諒解，即便加入了疫情元素卻還是讓現在部分故事增加了現實感，兩批演員分別飾演同一角色的老年和青年，可惜表演上卻沒有統一，更加加劇了電影的分裂感。山田洋次已經90歲了，他真的老了，也許我應該諒解他的力不從心吧。#BJIFF2021#
主旋律迷影电影，看着确实很动人，真的没办法，不可能对电影院发生的故事无动于衷，但是，梗太老，太工整。
当山田洋次的一部怀旧家庭喜剧看还不错，做松竹100周年纪念？算了。年轻组的部分剧本和演技都非常灾难。整个故事脱离历史语境但又要蹭一下小津们的余晖（倒不如索性直接虚构）、主角这个欲改革制片厂未遂的失败者角色也证明了松竹根本无力回顾自己真正的历史遗产，大岛渚筱田正浩吉田喜重都笑了。
有佳句无佳章，走情怀路线的迷影题材，现实的颓唐与往昔的理想主义制造落差，一是为了引出大片场时代的闪回，进而展现特殊年代电影制作的风貌，二是为了刻画人物的反差来引发温情的效应，但是几条人物线和故事线之间的整合做得马马虎虎，有强烈的割裂感，虽然融入了很多致敬环节，像是打破影像次元结界的联动这些迷影幻想，会让影迷们感叹不已，但是并未能形成有机的统一，疫情时代的故事背景又显得多余，所以空有迷影埋梗、自传性质的致敬等元素，是撑不起来一部佳作的。
这次的山田洋次 比想象的简单（自以为恋爱的时候 所谓“自我意识”就开始了吧
以孩子的视角，看背井离乡的逃离。想到了现下的乌克兰。
给电影写情书的电影总归不至于太难看，想要出挑也很难，默片解说员➕今夜在浪漫剧场➕家族之苦的感觉，召唤电影之神共度时艰的精神力量还是温暖人心的。
剧情其实可以说老套 但是因为这些真实倾注的情感 所以喜欢电影的人应该都会被感动到 小津呼啸的火车 原结子的微笑 最后和伍迪艾伦呼应 原来巴斯特基顿才是“电影之神” 另外那句“讲十分的话 用七分的力 讲七分的话 才要用十分的力”也希望后辈编剧和演员都纹在身上警醒自己比较有用。
密密麻麻的分镜剧本
酗酒欠债，78岁获得了剧本新人奖，算是完成了年轻时想做导演的梦。
完全代入里面女儿的视角，她是一个说出自己的不开心、愤怒以及委屈的女性形象（怡微），喜欢桂圆子载着树子去找乡时候的坚毅与眼里的泪光，还有淑子望着自己年轻时的照片，说“也不知道她现在过得好不好”，可惜山田洋次最终也没有给她们真正为自己代言的机会，就像乡以及很多个男性角色始终不敢去面对自己的生活一样，而导演总是通过一个突发事件来解决这些事情。#11th BIFF＃

配乐真的是很赞，故事又那么动情，温馨浪漫。
在电影里死去，电影之神。不知道我老了要靠哪部戏来回忆一生的故事。
或许是因为把过多精力放在对更大命题的表达上，而忽略了对于具体人物的刻画。看完整体还可，但经不起回味
剧本太无聊了甚至腐朽。有创新的稚嫩想法，没有落实的坚决信念，最后回归放荡的本性任其一生。理所当然地仗着他人的爱意和奉献而“过得幸福”，拾起来才华就可以一帆风顺，家庭和人生的失职则可以弃之不顾。洋次郎是带资进组吗（笑）
虽然很喜欢导演和一众演员 但我觉得问题真的很大…
