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.
音乐剧作家他的成功经历，看不懂核心那个东西，体会不到。没啥感触。有点像日本摄影师的故事浅田家，不知道他怎么火的。什么破电影，好电影不一定好看。吉屋出租首次公开演出的前一晚，男主35岁时因突发性主动脉瘤去世。看哭了几气儿。4.7分。
处处布满rent的痕迹……本人像一块被泡发的海绵频频流泪
唱给女友的那段击中了泪点，推荐给了做音乐编剧和音乐人朋友，身边也不乏这样有趣又有才华的灵魂，都值得好好珍惜，现实世界里因为这些看似不太现实的人的存在才会丰富和精彩。
2017年的奥斯卡，加菲的《血战钢锯岭》被前女友石头姐的《爱乐之城》吊打。如今自己也感受到了歌舞（音乐）片真香的感觉。This is real life!很羡慕主角这种还没到30岁就发现时间不够用的觉悟，虽然35岁就离开了，但留下了作品，总比到了40岁才醒悟强。因为加菲和女主有些像寡姐的缘故，总觉得是《爱乐之城》和《婚姻故事》的混合，观感也一直在四星和五星之间摇摆，感情线结束之后，后面的故事有点弱，可能是传记片人物原型如此，有种戛然而止的感觉。非常喜欢Come to Your Senses这首歌，但片尾的R&B唱法没有影片里一个声线磁性一个声线甜美的两个女声版有感觉。另外还有个红衣服的音乐人小姐姐表情也很可爱。
这不比《安妮特》好看好听，也更写实走心。鲍勃·福斯拍《伦尼的故事》，林曼努尔拍“乔纳森·拉森的故事”，一种惺惺相惜和自况，还有本片从叙述到剪辑借鉴前者颇多。
有点失望。歌很好听，而且和声比较丰富，虽没有专门的合唱歌曲那么复杂的声部，但听感还是比迪士尼以及大部分话语音乐剧要立体。
有几首歌还是挺好听。然而还是那些错过的恋人，让人焦虑吧的时光流逝，青春不再，事业未半，除此似乎也无它。在歌声里，自由与梦想正确无疑，爱情和友谊不可辜负。但那也只是在你我的歌声里。Cages or wings, which do you prefer? ask the birds. Fear Or Love, Baby, Don't Say The Answer. Actions Speak Louder Than Words. 恍然大悟，日常生活中很少会说I will do anything for you. Anything. 虽然此刻心同此句。Come to your senses, defenses are not the way to go. 真人真事加半星。WYT
4.5/5
电影的调调很喜欢，在传记片基本都在讲辉煌的潮流下，一部讲辉煌前心酸奋进的故事更让我上头。拉森对艺术的执着追求为寻找灵感而痛苦焦虑辗转反侧，像极了每个曾经有梦想的人，但不是所有人都像拉森那样执着，拉森为了艺术背叛了所有真实而具体的人，失去了爱人，和朋友争吵。我不知为何一时觉得我和拉森很像，但我却又不如他那般强大。很喜欢这部电影的调调，尽管林曼曼双线叙事有时挺乱的，但情感是真挚的，我的心也是滚烫的。
20220218le。年轻剧作家短暂一生的失意时刻。唱歌跳舞不是我的菜，没什么感觉。
3.5 音乐很行，剧情比较割裂，人很可惜。
tick tick boom！被击中了，热泪盈眶。
粉丝向作品，表演刻意，音乐随意，缺乏亮点，强行催泪。
一直在等seasons of love, 原来是最难的故事啊。看到桑爷好难过。
虽然到现在我还是不太能get到rent也不太能get到天才的年龄焦虑，但整体剧情挺流畅的歌曲也好听，观看的过程很舒畅，对于路人来说也就是一部很不错的电影了
永远可以相信加菲的选片 至今的作品得分就已经足够惊艳了
百感交集。对宽街和NYC的爱，林漫威永远能表达得到位。Rent是在我刚到纽约的第二个月结束了长达12年的演出，很遗憾没能看到。但教授和房东都安利过，加上看了各种视频，所以四舍五入就算看过了，当然影片中并没有太多关于Rent的着墨，而聚焦于Jonathan Larson。剧情节奏把握得很好，一直都有秒针在倒数的感觉。创作，生活，恋爱，哪一件事又不是在倒数呢？明天随时可能失去一切，唯有当下必须抓住。
Lin-Manuel Miranda居然是导演，太有才了。Andrew Garfield璞玉浑金，如果凭借此片拿2022第94届奥斯卡最佳男主的话可以说实至名归，期待他更多惊喜的作品。
滴答，滴答……一直以为倒数器要到零了，才醒觉自己还有大把时间；在知道自己原来还有时间后，生命却突然终结。一开始因为电影的神经质而无所适从，抽丝剥茧后，才发现没有比这更完美的音乐剧改编传记和传记改编音乐剧。
Happy Birthday Jon！（结尾桑德海姆本人声演的电话留言那段，结合前不久他的离世，我哭唧唧，有种时空交织在一起的奇妙感觉
