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.
非常好的故事，里面各种场景的设置都非常好看，平淡中也有反转。扣一星是因为后面的煽情部分太长了，差不多五十分钟了，整部片能缩短到一个半小时就是完美的故事了。
看完片子意犹未尽的又查了路易斯韦恩的生平，欣赏了他更多的作品。这是一个真正热爱猫的人，每一幅作品都充满了对猫的爱，即使是精神分裂，这份爱和激情依旧没有变。
温情满满，剧情不出彩，不过仍然很喜欢，感觉演员表应该把姐姐往前排啊🤔，林允儿其实不算女主的说。其实我有个想法，把姐姐离开那段换成男主下车后姐姐留在车上，然后男主看着姐姐随列车远去，一束光总感觉有点突兀
故事不复杂,
后半段有点儿弱……夫人把他比作猫的那一段最感动。
很好的原型 故事却讲得不好 不知道究竟多少是真实事件 姐姐是存在于过去的揭幕和父子和解如果编排得近一点 会对节奏有很大的帮助 还有希望韩国人可以该放弃的时候放弃搞笑情节 太割裂了 不如从头到尾温情纪实 最后的冲击才会大一些 女友的角色安排有点奇怪 漂亮的议员女儿莫名其妙喜欢上男主 梦想还是为了他…
说教太多而画猫的部分实在太少。大篇幅讲了画家的家庭背景，但并看不出他为什么钟爱拟人化猫这一创作主题。所有画猫的过程都一带而过。
本质上是个爱情片，同时又割舍不掉画猫这一部分，很牵强地用“world is beautiful”来串联，非常散乱。
导演想展现的东西很多很宏大，从而也导致了一定程度上的限制。剪辑有些割裂混乱，但质感十足了，喜欢萤火虫的那一场，短暂又美好，四位演员都贡献了优秀的表演
林允儿好好看 不过男女主爱情哈哈哈哈这真的好理想主义
2.5/5 Not enough cats.
电影倒是不错，就是导演要是再节约点，直接可以李星民演男主了。
一切，就甜甜地结束吧！！！爱吃糖，不吃刀～让我们向往甜美生活！
打光和景色很美很童话，但是男主那张脸老是出戏到梵高。
aks还是那么真的可爱（旁边的大姐后半段狂哭惊到我 明明已经是童话级美好的故事😂现实出柜难度x100吧（感觉剧情挺慢的 因为看完剧太久了吧 有几段戏个人觉得还是稍微有点尬的 不过不影响
我被激情两个字误导了。人生不错，激情谈不上。
卷福演得很好，电影不太行，不过我反正是冲着克莱尔去的~~~
允儿好美，姐弟情好感人，有好几次差点看哭，天才少年，要加油啊！
老爹突兀的挤开老师载着儿子去考场刚看会觉得有些突兀结果连首尔都没去过也要载着儿子去的心情瞬间就理解了，而且反转的也很搞笑。
这电影跟主人公一样思路混乱。但是猫很多，忍了
