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.
虽然核心设定从科学性角度考察是不成立的，节奏把握上也有小缺陷，但依然属于“年度必看”这一级别的佳片。“灾难喜剧片”已经属于较少见的类型混搭，更遑论世界末日题材的荒诞讽刺喜剧。如同跷跷板，影片反复在荒诞喜剧与严肃悲剧之间切转，有些时刻即将跌坠到地，但迅即又被弹上高空了。及至悲喜剧交融的场景（最后的拯救行动与最后的家庭晚餐交叉剪辑，以及末日冲撞时的人类众生相蒙太奇&“太空垃圾”慢镜），情感完全被释放。但片尾Credits后的两个彩蛋（新星球着陆及“地球最后一人”）又以黑色幽默不合时宜地拉回情绪。全片不仅是旁敲侧击指涉气候生态问题，间接呈露疫情时期的乱象，更是对短视频社交时代大众“在解构一切的笑闹中慢性死亡”的讽刺。有趣的是几位大牌明星在戏里戏外和角色都挺契合，马克·里朗斯演得最让人捧腹。（8.5/10）
不错诶！！！铺陈很慢，但没有无用镜头。细节隐喻也很好，忧郁画风和偷窥视角都很简康平！
简坎皮恩这个情绪把控太强了，隐忍克制却又波涛汹涌。
正当我以为这是内心麻木的中年男子逐渐渴望爱，各种性隐喻下乱伦与嫉妒折磨的时候，原来这是一场精心设计的谋杀案？…深柜半生的高材生整天把自己弄得脏兮兮，勤劳的为家族忙事业，刚打开心房渴望爱就遭复仇而死，太悲剧了让人好难受
当荒谬到一定程度后，你会觉得真他妈的写实啊。分裂的、反智的、贪婪的、混乱的、愚蠢的...人类。结尾全裸出镜的演员们辛苦了...
结局必须要多给一星 耗了将近两个半小时终于等到了群灭 Christmas is saved after all 谢谢亚当·麦凯 把SNL大电影拍得挺好的 下次别再拍了
张力十足的作品，舒缓的音乐与画面下暗潮汹涌的爱恨。
看的时候觉得还行，过了几天再回想觉得后劲大得不得了……有一点近期电影横向对比加成在里面，女导演的敏感细致克制，很多片段都好品，整个片的层次也丰富，不止是意料外的谋杀，是柔弱对阳刚的谋杀，斩断父权，另一方面也可能被理解成爱情作，开头和结尾都是男孩讲述，中间视角悄然转换给了本尼，一个迫害他人但实际也是时代环境受害者的角色，在本尼的视角上，如同找到隐秘的解脱与传承，一人一口烟在纯爱故事里很动人，又给你手术刀扎醒了，从兔子被剖开，从纸花被折叠就开始了。
总体我是喜欢这种压着的氛围和表达的。不过，撇开手法，从电影本身出发，这种压抑和文艺的展现会使动机不足，也会使爱恨情仇在戏剧张力不明显的前提下变得略显浅薄。当然，这是因为我没看过小说。
综上，看这片给我带来了太多的煎熬与困惑，难以喜欢。至少不适合现在的我。
4.5坎皮恩最近的电影都以男性为主角，探索人性深处隐藏最深的力量与脆弱，菲尔堪称一个极具魅力与复杂性的角色，他难以忘记童年时代遇见的“朋友”，这个如父亲般的朋友也唤醒了他的原始的欲望，但之后的时间中，他却在这个犬山中迷失了，在秘密基地靠着恋物释放着压抑，而开篇皮特的画外音就告诉观众，他的生活中只有他的母亲，为了母亲，他一步步设置着陷阱，当他发现了菲尔的秘密时，这个切开的伤口就注定被病毒感染中毒，20年代文明早已替代了曾经的西部的荒蛮，但文明的代价又是什么呢？菲尔是矛盾的，他渴望着过去，试图在新时代维护着传统，但记忆无法真正拯救他，所以说他轻易地将皮特当成了生命中的光芒，他能帮助他连接与过去的情感，殊不知皮特也是个被过去所困之人，他也是如此地可怜，只不过和菲尔互换了表里罢了，悠然收场之后的怅然若失
过分隐晦与克制，将男性的故事描述出了女性视角中的细腻脆弱与小心翼翼，然而这样不明所以的剧情因为缺乏必要的冲突而让我不愿深究背后含义，毕竟，引人是电影的第一要义。
看了开头，以为是粗鲁大哥和风韵弟妹同一屋檐下从水火不容到干柴烈火大搞不伦之恋这么俗套的剧情，特别弟弟胖蔫胖蔫的选角更让我坚信他很快就要绿油油那群牛不愁口粮了，没想到剧情往意想不到的方向发展了，大惊喜，结尾再来一黑化暴击，过瘾了！幸亏看之前没瞄到电影类别有同性，没看评论什么断背山等被剧透，祝福看到这条的你已经看完片子了。
非常臃肿的一部电影，主要体现在情节的编排和人物的塑造上，从影片进入正题之后，故事的叙述仿佛走向了死胡同，一方面要对菲尔的性取向遮遮掩掩不让它显得那么直白，另一方面又要极力扯开他身上的某种矛盾。整个看下来，一团用料相当精致浆糊。
金融家控制政治、政治操控媒体，媒体操控大众，一切信息舆论皆可娱乐化，没人在意真相，一切皆可娱乐，最终娱乐至死！荒诞吗？但现实就是这么荒诞！印象最深刻的是凯特·布兰切特饰演的早间节目主持人布里·伊万特，一个情史丰富，受过高等教育，看似是一个时尚前卫的独立女性，我以为她会有不同于普通人的独立思考，在关键时刻能表现出智慧的一面，结果发现是我想多了。结尾很舒适，脑残女总统和冷漠科技富豪带领的地球“幸存”者们，在太空仓里沉睡了22740年后着陆在一个伊甸园般的美丽星球，然而却发现，他们不过是跨越万年去给一种叫Bronteroc的鸟类生物送食材。
2022年1月9日看过，极好的黑色暗喻。借着一颗毁灭地球的陨石，暗喻着整个政商媒体权力体系。其实陨石可以看作是气候变暖。电影里的总统既有克林顿女士的身影，又有佩林的影子，而科技大佬既有乔布斯又有马斯克还有贝索斯的影子。最令人唏嘘的几点：1.讲出一个明确的事实，竟然先需要咨询法务，还需要媒体培训，而这竟然是一个纽时编辑劝告两位科学家的；2.所有人都已经适应了将严肃报道轻松化的氛围之后，已经没有了严肃新闻得到严肃关注的氛围，所有上节目的人都是为了抖机灵，获得更多的关注度，因为所有人需要的都是FUN，而不是事实了；3.NASA局长竟然是总统的大额捐助者和麻醉师出身，太嘲讽当代美国政治了；4.总统在科技大佬面前的唯唯诺诺；5.看似稳重可靠的三星将军，用白宫免费的零食骗了科学家20美元，毫无羞愧感。存于硬盘8/美国电影/2022
有一个一秒钟的转场镜头，是个大俯瞰，高速公路上的鹿群被一辆从另外车道上驶过来的车子惊吓跑散。不知道拍这么一个看似无关紧要极容易被忽略的镜头要花多少人力财力和时间，但牛逼的电影还是会把这些东西编排进去（而且是个喜剧片）。一个镜头能解释很多问题。反正我拍的那么多小时的素材里没有一个这样的东西。
简单过头了也不是特别好笑，就差把“我在讽刺”贴脑门上了，但我也是断断续续甚至上课的时候看完的，倒也觉得可以杀一杀真没啥别的事做的时间。以及我感觉这种剧本没必要拍成这么大阵容电影，二十分钟动画片就行了惹，特别是Rick and morty也不是第一个毁灭的🌍了（
但凡这种脑力激荡，狂喷的电影都容易烂尾，麦凯算把电影安全着落在灾难片的心理舒适区。论收尾就是麦凯和库布里克最大的差距。
这简直是一场阴谋，这也可以定位为悬疑电影吧？
