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.
五味杂陈，不知道如何评价。作为一个梅迷，我很荣幸自己真心喜欢过你。
看的导演剪辑版，说是人物传记片，更像纪录片，还原了梅姐人生中的一些重要时刻和事件。最让我感动的不是片尾的告别演唱会，而是她在生命的最后时光，再次回到日本那个和初恋度假过的酒店，那里有她最美好的回忆和最大的遗憾。那个年代的艺人真好啊，就算有各种花边新闻，但我们最终记住他/她们的，还是作品。
开篇质地好，恍惚就是八九十年代港片，角色接个出完场，没新鲜了。每场主要人物过少，来来去去就他们几个，且都无明显的状态迁移，像唱戏，不是生活变幻。梅姑脸上红通通两个蛋，演喜剧自有一套旁人学不来的滑稽活泼，到这儿也全被削减给冷毅大方，“香港女儿”精神符号成了，僵僵的，编导本只当梅艳芳是出通俗剧里的工具，没拿她作复杂多面的人。大处遗憾妨碍多，好理解，细节出岔子太不该，单说声音，郑少秋唱歌断不会那样，即便日文歌也是细干直的劲儿，梅姑生活里唱《相思河畔》也不致那么高，我唱她歌都要再高上四度……这些错够数，片子就是塑料片子，观众只以为随意偷懒，换谁演、演谁都得，小角色特质碍于篇幅只能展露一二，尤得仔细，做好它们并不会费多少钱！高志森《梅艳芳菲》同它比制作过小，一样题旨先行，不好褒贬人、事，却多些丰满流畅
梅艳芳啊，全片80%时间都在孤独无助含泪看雨，这合理吗？
2004年第23届香港电影金像奖有一个特殊奖项——演艺光辉永恒大奖，获奖者有两位，分别是梅艳芳和张国荣。
了解一些幕后故事对电影的主创有多一点宽容，虽然对这个题材来说的确不是最好的时机。香港女儿对早已漠视甚至抵触黄金时代的最主流的年轻观众已经没有什么吸引力，但却尚未熬到版权剧情等现实境况水到渠成，足以向怀念她的群体交出满意答卷的那一刻。注定这是一部尴尬的作品，却也不是不珍贵的。总归有人会因此想起我们的观众曾有幸拥有过这样迷人的艺术家，想起她所代表的硬颈、专业、充满传奇与可能性的世界。全片除了《夕阳之歌》的真人片段，印象最深的是苏孝良指点初出茅庐的梅艳芳“慢歌唱的不是伤心，是唏嘘；快歌唱的不是热情，是反叛。”哗！心向往之。
阿梅的歌太好用了 画面不够全靠歌声凑 最大的问题是那个时代全都是明星 而梅艳芳张国荣更是明星中的明星 这是两个毫无名气的演员不论花多大努力都绝对演不出来的 更不用说一甘绿叶也是明星来演的 王丹妮简直鸡立鹤群 太惨了
多经典的歌后，一刹眼已走。颀长的身形、百变的造型、醇厚的嗓音，梅姑担得起一句“天生我高贵艳丽到底”。电影虽然采用了最为保险的平铺直叙，但台词缠绵悱恻，众多配角的弧光交相辉映。人情味的倾注，使得电影的情感脉络和梅姑的音乐风格相吻合——慢节奏时讲述唏嘘，快节奏时表达反叛。从技术角度来看，镜头语言比较纯熟，框架构图、背影特写和镜面视角都运用得恰到好处。而《梅艳芳》作为一部明星传记片，不止用2.5小时的体量凝炼了天后的生平，还完成了香港社会变迁的侧写。当年的SARS摧折经济，人人自危，如今的新冠疫情侵袭全球，阴翳笼罩，同类悲剧跨越时空形成了残酷互文。年月变幻，世事莫测，人总是容易被流离失所的孤独打倒。正因此，毕生都在传递归属感的梅姑，必然被时代铭记。
差强人意，这种水平真的还是不要拍比较好。梅艳芳张国荣这样的人，有谁可以替代演出来？
说实话，我对梅姐的的了解实在谈不上深，因此很难从真实性上谈论本片。不过可以看出，主创绝对是抱着一种深厚的情怀和敬意来描写梅姐，尤其是越到后期，情感就越来越浓郁。可惜的地方在于对梅姐事业进程的的描写过于按部就班，反而对其亲情友情爱情进行重点刻画（特别是和近藤的事，绝对是最大的争议点，而且编剧相当不着调地cue了一下中森明菜）。 演员方面，新人王丹妮可谓表现出色，不仅很多地方有梅姐的神韵，而且有几场戏已经不止于单纯的模仿，还有属于她自己的精彩演绎，廖子妤的梅爱芳也颇为生动。
拍的太苦了，应该压缩苦情戏份，更多展示阿姐芳华绝代的一面。
本来梅艳芳是值得给满分的，但《梅艳芳》就只能给及格了。我不否认，我不了解梅艳芳，我不了解张国荣，所以我带着对两人的尊重走进电影院，想看看被拍成传记电影的她以及少量的他。电影走马观花的略过梅艳芳的一生，我不了解的一生，然后出来电影院依然不了解她复杂传奇的人生。不懂为什么因为一段日本男星的翻译就选择跟这个男人分手，明明这个男人这样勇敢而梅艳芳也获得好友的认可也是这样勇敢的人，怎么在没有阻碍的情况下就分手了？不懂为什么在KTV被扇耳光后，郭老板被打后不找打自己的人，反而只寻仇梅艳芳，梅艳芳在泰国那几个月里到底深刻体会了什么？为什么明明身边的男朋友都那么好依然一直未嫁……《梅艳芳》过后，不了解依然不了解。
还挺全面的，把梅姐一生中的重要的事基本讲了，最喜欢的是中间穿插的真实影像记录片段
王丹妮的表演其实有点显不出来，毕竟你一个传记片用那么多真实录像算是怎么回事？
我会记住梅艳芳，但大概不会记住《梅艳芳》
故事有不少遗憾，很多梅姐好友没拍，故事和现实有出入，不过配乐好，演员还行。
感谢这部梅姐的传记片，无论片子质量如何，它终是一份兑现的许诺。这几年总觉得有些人从未离开过，梅艳芳、张国荣、沈殿霞等等，这些曾经出现在我们童年中的人，他们留给我们的喜悲是永远无法忘怀的。我们早不是小孩子，努力的长大，拼命的活在这个时代，好在还有那份情怀，庆幸你们永远不会老，等将来我们占你的便宜，叫你一声“小女孩儿”。
选择了一种最保守也是最安全的拍法，但因为传主本身经历的传奇性，所以拍得并不沉闷，内在的线索脉络也是很清晰的——舞台上的梅艳芳光鲜亮丽，但舞台下的她却因为各种原因无法享受一名女性理应享有的爱情家庭等等，但她实现了这种对小愿望的超越，通过演艺与公益事业将自己塑造成为香港的女儿，然后在一场轰轰烈烈的演出中光彩落幕。这个时间点拍梅的传记其实是一语双关的，建制一方与自由一方均可以找到支撑己方的解读点。
热门影评第一位把为什么拍不好的原因分析得很好了，多给一颗星给自己备受香港文化滋养的童年吧，香港的时代过去了，我也长大了。
你就把梅姑所有影音采访舞台表演和朋友的点点滴滴剪一起，做个还念纪录片式的电影，也比这煞有见识的拍个人物传记类的四不像强百倍。
