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.
4新冠疫情下的电影院困境，也还是第一次在电影里看到如此直给的呼吁，90岁的电影之神山田洋次对电影的拳拳之心天地可鉴。
韶华不再不胜唏嘘，世界不断下坠至如今。结局有点刻意，昭和都实现不了的梦想，凭什么到了令和就突然怀才被遇见了，最后打的不还是情怀牌吗。
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。
但是还有电影，让我永远热泪盈眶，永野芽郁真好看
山田洋次《电影之神》2021
一家人围着废柴寄生虫老爷子奉献生命和金钱、帮助其重拾梦想的故事。看了不止一部日本电影讲对家人冷漠、不负责、脾气差、没贡献、却还被妻子儿女供着的混蛋老男人，最后还硬是搞大团圆结局。就算几十年前家庭成员的关系就是如此，也还是接受不了。那个年代的女人好像一嫁了人就不是个人了，只是男人的家佣、厨子、完成模范家庭生育指标的机器、家里揭不开锅就自动外出工作的劳力、给一切由男人造成的灾难兜底，就连女儿都包括在内，只是老男人最终实现人生理想的助力工具和负责喝彩的npc。这部电影不仅价值观让身为女性观众的我难以接受，所谓的“电影之神”剧本、老爷子的生平和最后的作品，也丝毫看不到一点高超的地方。因为野田洋次郎的参演，还有他和Suda合唱的片尾曲才没打一星。
剧本家。编剧。
这是山田先生对电影黄金年代的深情回望，也是疫情期间给爱电影人的抚慰剂，却也可能是山田先生作品序列中最弱的一部，影片拍摄的波折与幕后的情谊（志村健去世，泽田研二补上）、表达的主题都非常感人，但故事和人物实在不完善，菅田将晖也没演出年轻主角的“无赖”，导致角色有割裂感，最关键的是片中片《电影之神》的创意在伍迪艾伦《开罗紫玫瑰》中已经完美地演绎过一次了。
岁月流逝中活得不如意的小人物是山田影片的常客，作为松竹映画百年献礼电影，这次的他们和电影这个行当有关，不成功的导演、一辈子的放映员、嫁与不嫁都可能后悔的可爱女子……和光影有关的人和事在山田的叙述中，哪怕失意也适宜。
无论多少次，还是会被这种迷影情节感动到哭😢永远的热爱下去吧
初看有點像是《一秒鐘》，說是“給電影的情書”，但好像實際上核心的還是在講個人苦痛，而張藝謀搭上了一貫的時代主題，山田洋次也只是在拍屬於自己的家庭劇……而內裡埋藏的那些梗比重又大大少過了劇情主線，和原節子談戀愛是蠻好的啦，但無論如何主角的這個頹廢理由還是有點沒有說服力……所以真的是現代戲襯托出了回憶的美好，一班演員都還挺OK，而如果要強行把不完備的地方扯成細節和首尾呼應也不是不行，不過也就平平。3.5歸3。
把同天的短评看完了，看的有些复杂。要说“一个个镜头之间，寄宿着神灵，那才是电影之神”，可是只有真正在做电影的人，才能哭的出来吧。拍摄环境其实相当局限，但人物调度与画面的协调性却做的很棒，可见分镜一定是下了功夫的，乃至于声音的处理也细致入微。谁会把赌博和电影混为一谈啊，赌博是脑子的病。拍电影就是赌博，只要想拍电影，78岁都不晚吧，但直到老死，真的能小小的成功一次吗？并且想拍电影的人啊，背后真的有很多人为他付出，他自己难道真的看不到吗。他才不要看到人物的表情，他要的是白色的浪花。在太阳要落下去的时候，也想快跑过去啊，让太阳落的慢一点啊。能知道演员的眼睛里有一整个剧组，能记得拥抱的时候有被雨淋湿的手，就是最真切的感动。说开罗紫玫瑰也好，基顿也罢，那些看过很多电影的人，为何还要变得如此傲慢。去拍啊。
松竹100周年纪念电影，向电影致敬，但选取的故事其实跟电影关系并没有那么大，本质上还是山田洋次擅长的家庭题材，电影作为故事的一个纽带串联了过去和现在的两条故事线，电影更多还是一个符号，一个承载了美好的青春的符号，电影可以让一个埋头逐梦的人实现理想，也可以让一个窘困潦倒的家庭走向新生。电影里也有很多迷影的小彩蛋和一些小幽默，整体有些失望，但应该还可以吧
配乐真的是很赞，故事又那么动情，温馨浪漫。
囧子和咩真好看。这剧情是男导演的自我陶醉。傻白甜女主不顾旁人劝阻和穷丑男在一起，结果下半辈子都在给他擦屁股给他还债，到头来男主不仅出轨，对女主还毫无留念。导演能把丑男的各种行为冠上理由顺带渲染女主对其爱得多伟大lol导演找日本第一丑来演这个角色真是让电影更反胃
#BJIFF2021#致敬旧日光影，回首百年松竹，人生不易，生活艰苦，还好有电影抚慰人心。年届九旬的山田洋次老骥伏枥，倾尽全力写给老东家超越时空的一封情书，尽管老套却又情深义重。有感于那份赤子情怀，大家其实都好温柔，以至观影过程几度泪目，而偶像从银幕上走入现实的场景很难不联想到《今夜在浪漫剧场》，或许现在实在太难了，山田老人有意把过去电影的黄金年代与当下的困境作了比对，怀旧之余更有对这两年霓虹疫情的投影……结尾过于戏剧化又暖心迷人（还不忘致敬了一下小津的《东京物语》），果然是看电影看到死啊，泽田老爷子最后在电影院里得到救赎，被原节子女神引领去了另一个光影平行时空……所谓“电影之神”，其实是一种虔诚的信仰，始于胶片上寄托的初心，终于一场“信者得永生”的幻梦。好好生活，好好看电影。
人还是要有梦想的，万一实现了呢！ 吗的，每次北影节看山田洋次的，都能看哭。
除了疫情部分太生硬，其他还挺好的，是山田洋次没错了
《抓著彩虹的男人》開拍前渥美清離世了，到了《電影之神》志村健也走了，山田洋次算是見證日本演藝時代的逝去了。
电影、话剧里的世界是多么富有色彩充满想象 而现实往往是残酷的 即使在这样的环境里 依旧保持着天真无邪是一种多么浪漫的人生观
