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.
有勇气直面死亡才是真正的骑士精神。苟且于世，浑浑噩噩，活得再久也没有意义。
纵使系上腰带、挂上头衔……一切的失约皆是临时工的作为。如今不像是骑士的时代，每个人都像是临时工。
对待私人情绪抑或时代图景的哪一面都像是一个衰老且更枯竭且生疏的韦斯安德森，最无聊最腐朽的一种浪漫主义。
用视听赋予故事更多意义 最后很可能流于炫技 一直用high pitch赞美诗做背景乐并不高级 overwhelm了观众也容易疲劳 情节简单想要赋予深度就只能增加内心戏 但只是抻长了故事线内容还是一样干 有极度出彩的点 中世纪用神秘风格呈现 粗粝再加上污秽感洗刷掉了原著作为寓言故事的脱离实际 但神话色彩又把人物同观众间离 无法移情 只不过视听太过了 以至于忽略了故事作为一个整体 如果每个极端运用都所指 那这部炫到最后 可能导演也不知道他最想得到的效果是什么了 还是有点可惜 后半部分节奏算拉回了一点 绿色和黄色作为画布主色调 忽然清新自然舒缓了之前积压的恐惧感 只有那一句台词有意义：绿色是红色离开后留下的/虽然累 但被开头打动了 奠定全片基调似的 外表冷冽 但内核滚烫 是独特的观影体验了
有令人惊叹的超然的素材编排逻辑。作家的具体形象被隐匿，取而代之的是吉光片羽般的授勋现场；然后很快又化为乌有，变成一捧骨灰的亡魂之旅；而在这段旅途过程去照射动乱的历史后遗症、火车上的众生相、影影绰绰的情欲场；最后居然还能翻转过来，直抵他生前最核心的创作世界，虽然这完全不是传记片，但却比大部分以文学家为主体的传记片都要更有灵魂，他的生平是次要的，最重要的是他留给世界的遗产。
一个“迪士尼公主”，披了一层“聊斋皮”，喷上“A24香水”。难受。
诚然影片中段我也想把导演吊起来陀螺般抽打，但此片的前40分钟和结尾，通篇神话寓言的呈现，非常接近我心目中理想的电影……意象、背景、配乐、光影、调度、表演、布景。未经准备的少年在懵懂中踏上试炼之旅。高文的黄粱一梦，剪接中光阴如白驹过隙。
不会有荣归故里的荣耀
可爱的狗狗！虽然红色有点膈应…不过看着它的脸还挺舒服！
喜欢狗狗的电影，尽管情节很简单，满满的都是爱
致献即是题跋。为哥哥撰写思念两章，用《钉子》锚定“未完成”的状态。保罗说，皮兰德娄“left without finishing”，而维托里奥又何尝不是？魂归故里烟尘入海，“作者”的身后事不会再有色彩，而“作品”却永葆鲜艳。耄耋之年回望这辉煌一生，“时间”不过是电影开头的那惊鸿一瞥，银幕上，光影之间转眼一瞬，青丝变白发。可此生太重，余烬装不下，不如就在海天之间，肆意挥洒。
沉郁而悲伤，是Paolo对Vittorio的告别式。用Kaos为不曾共同实现的The Nail写下注脚，隔着漫漫时光的回望在黑白与色彩交替的场面化作一丝轻叹。前2/3的荒诞与神秘是Pirandello的幽灵在Taviani兄弟的历史戏剧元叙事中逡巡。后1/3则明显断裂，不知所措。从剧本中删除的《游吟诗人》唱词Leonora addio…被保留成为标题，同样飘荡如幽灵，就像片中无处不在的Vittorio。
整部影片还没有简介精彩，可能电影实在过于冗长，完全没有神秘感和紧凑的情节。
人生就是一场游戏，里面有各种羁绊（亲，友，情…），更有各种奖励（性，爱，权，名…），还有各种风险（欺骗，死亡，欲望…），而每个人在出生时都签订了一个契约，这个契约的内容是：我给你生，你还我命，中间是给你的时间——一生，请你准备好，到时还命给我…无需担心死亡，你死后必定绿意盎然……——绿衣骑士致上
这部电影观后感让我新认识自己的一个点是，我喜欢所有“寻自/朝圣/成长/求道之旅”，但不喜欢所有其中包含有“试炼和考验”设定的此类传奇或寓言。试炼啥试炼 啥对美德对人性的考验个啥要干嘛。现在的我就很明确讨厌那些老故事的出发点和动机，暗戳戳中很站不住脚很值得怀疑和唾弃。包括对荣耀对美德对某种精神的一些追求的寓言，其中的空洞荒谬通过此“是骑士就来砍我”的故事一路上带给我的困惑愈加凸显。最后一分钟的通彻的勇气让人释放，虽然这勇气和这一路的经历（在他本人的故事里）我不懂意义是啥。
重点在路上，让我想起中国的古代神话故事，第一个想到的是《倩女幽魂》，都是考验。
在探讨如今缺失的骑士精神到底是什么，故事整体偏神话逻辑，就是莫名其妙人就上路了。在可预料的故事走向下，导演还是延续了鬼魅浮生的部分精髓，拍的很美又很诡谲，宗教感和奇幻性做得很棒
被劫掠被请求被诱惑
越来越故弄玄虚，越来越不会说人话。恐怖和寓言都只停留在了华丽阴鸷的皮囊。
摩根勒菲与亚瑟王的角力 见证骑士的成长归根到底还是考验诚信和勇气
