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.
引人入胜，尽管有一些单薄性和随之而来的可预见性
剧作太蛋疼了……大概就是个非法移民奋斗史的metaphor，剧情感受不到什么思想内核，也没有抓人之处，TVB的《爱回家》都不至于拍成这样。比起去年圣诞看的《Soul》，今年圣诞看的这部真是……扶额再见。
以为讲的是女权 女精神病 谁知道讲的是跳大神的
铺垫太长高潮太短，缺点蛮多的但是还是挺喜欢
自由是甜中带苦，意识觉醒的古典之美。难以相信我们现在仍正经历相同的事，压制，束缚，偏见，人类几百年的发展依旧是停滞不前。不冷静不听话就是疯子，就要被浸泡在冰水里。也很喜欢女主在两个场景解束腰的节奏对比和象征意义。“很容易明白这个古典故事在当代的意义和指涉，通过超现实元素来消解这种感觉”
patriarchy is what defines insanity.
画面很美，表达很精致，但我看到最后也确实没搞明白导演要表达什么，女性的抗争?人性的隐喻？
感觉最后护士长的觉醒很好很自然，但是为啥不跟着一起跑，明明可以一起跑出去的啊，奇了怪了
“现实中的人怎么可能看待灵魂呢？”
邪恶迪士尼的飓风刮过马孔多，《百年孤独》变作百年合家欢，千禧世代与婴儿潮世代的理解万岁；歌舞都挺好看的，还难得保留了一首恶人主题曲《We Don't Talk About Bruno》，但恶人已经不存在了，所有人都得以最政治正确地“做自己”，“别给自己太大压力”……也不是不对，就是比较低幼尴尬？
我的留胡子的小法棍，一边当姐姐的贴心弟弟，一边当和仆人偷情的贵族公子，就是戏份少了点😄
珍妮薇芙，我无时无刻不牵挂着你，在这里，自由虽然甜蜜，但却夹杂着一丝苦涩。那是你的牺牲所留下来的余味。为此，正努力成为一个能让你引以为豪的人。我按照你的嘱托，但行好事，为他人提供帮助、指导、证明和慰藉。现在每天都会有人来找我，他们怀揣的信念和爱让我深受震撼。在这里，我不在感到害怕。在这里，我得到了理解。尽管你的躯壳被禁锢在那个我再熟悉不过的宿舍里，但我知道你心神和灵魂会与我同在，我想象你坐在那里看书，但我不想等你看完。没等你看完，我就牵起了你的手，我们在海边走了一会，迎面吹来的风，清新中略带咸味。地平线远在天边，你能感觉到吗？我们的灵魂在海上起舞，我们的痛苦也被带走，然后旋转着消失在泡沫之中。我们开怀大笑，晃动着双腿，不停起舞，没完没了地跳舞。就这样，我们获得了自由，获得了强大，获得了永生。
证实了我关于“迪士尼音乐剧电影在豆瓣上自带评分debuff”的猜想，音乐和美术都是业界顶尖级别，各个唱段的分镜和场景设计太绝了。大道至简，本片关于“gift（天赋）”和“give（给予）”的双关阐述得非常到位——“奇迹来自于爱，来自于给予他人和自己自由”，以至于并不需要繁复的冒险打boss就能完成这个主题。由于是螺蛳壳里做道场，所以非常适合直接改编成音乐剧，但也正因为如此才让习惯了公路片套路的国内观众（尤其是上映前打分带节奏的资源党）抛出了大量低分。对“真善美”的共鸣不需要让步于“我喜欢别人都给差评的事物”的恐惧，五星。
从片头的老奶奶夸奖小时候的女主是最特别的，到前段老奶奶夸奖小男孩是最特别的，到过程中老奶奶一直歧视女主，到最后一无所有被迫和女主和解。这明显就是一个糟老太太的故事。突然的和解和歌词的内容有让我觉得恶心而肉麻。
故事讲得感觉有点虎头蛇尾，但并不影响后面在医院里的剧情。
女导演视角控诉男权社会对女性的压迫，最后她不想离开精神病院让人费解，难道呆久了就离不开了？而且影片的切入角度我不喜欢，非要搞些怪力乱神。
从头至尾主旨很明确的一部女性电影，一点也不隐晦，直接粗暴地传递压抑、愤怒、挣扎
19世纪的欧洲医疗水平让人不寒而栗 传统思想束缚了许多女性的想法和自由 好在结局还是令人满意 唯一的遗憾就是女护士长又被作为患者监禁了起来 可能在她看来那就是她最后的归宿
感觉我心底有一种被关进精神病院的恐惧，看着里面的女性的无力愤怒到流泪，脑子叮了一下，除了对父权的控诉，我想是不是还要反思高举科学之名的傲慢
进了疯人院，所谓的治疗就是迫害，疯女人们的舞会，是逃离的唯一机会。
