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.
整体叙事架构还是有些问题。软弱无力。不管是不是郭小鲁的幻想。还是应该好好处理一下。 还是姜文说的那句，电影没劲谁看啊。对标《本杰明巴顿奇事》的话。明显弱爆了。
两个小时塞下这么多内容实属不容易，台词多得我以为在看二倍速，中间剧情转变太快，像在看两部电影，王传君和王珞丹演得还行；借鉴了本杰明·巴顿奇事？内核很相似。
一旦代入，就会戳中。若细琢磨，就全是槽点，主要是对男人的槽点。
4.3 问题在于要说的东西太多，以至于2个小时都已经在发疯一般赶剧情了，没有喘息的旧时代怎么可能会共情？比2021年还赶着投胎呢
看到了本杰明、阿甘正装的影子，但是故事讲得很一般
确实和不老没啥关系…旁白太多太多…校园那段里的插曲偶尔会让人想起某不能说片名的电影，大概那个年代的青春听的东西都差不多
摄影及美术真的是牛逼，塑造的时空展现了太多那个年代特有的细节，唯独客观讲述故事有点跳戏，观感不是特别好。
感觉王珞丹比较符合王朔的审美。
很惊喜，虽然看到了好几部电影的影子，前半部分有点像阿甘正传，后半部分又有点本杰明巴顿奇事的意思，但是全员演技在线，对人生和死亡的思考很打动人。让人不禁又想起忒修斯之船的悖论，如果没有记忆，只剩下分裂复制的细胞，你还是你吗？
6.3分#整个故事非常王朔，前半段的童年青春错过的爱情都还挺正常的，不过后半段这个干细胞广告宣传片风格是怎么回事……
原本可以成为一个很好的爱情电影。结果不知道这片子想干嘛，很分裂。去非洲更是莫名其妙…
看评分没抱希望，却还觉得不错。调调很好，情绪把控的也不错，剧情稍垮，总体质量上层。豆瓣对国产片太苛刻了
特别好！这不是爱情电影，应该是一部人生告别电影
“他好的时候我不用在”
一开始感觉一般，看着看着感觉还蛮喜欢这个片子的。
梁子很正 包袱也不馊 就可惜跟预料的一样 要打到最后的呈现点子上总难免有所偏差
人类的命运就是幸福和悲惨的纠缠体。
十分差！得多厌女多自恋多不知道世界正在发生什么，才能搞出这样的电影啊……
王朔的对白和故事还是绝的一批，“从那一夜起，在我的记忆里苏的味道就从下雨天的草腥味变成了酱香味的白酒。”这句子太有王朔的标识，让人念念不忘。电影对王朔的文本进行了忠实的视觉化，视觉呈现算是及格，叙事结构的问题较大。丁萌萌这个角色的演绎和塑造让人印象深刻。坐在电影院里，一句句王朔式的对白和情节打进心里，让人不愿意从王朔记忆中的80年代中出来，那个理想主义和反叛精神的黄金时代。
你还不如直接说跟看见慢动作一样，达到了“不老”，居然这么科学的去造干细胞……所谓的“爱情”，更像是编剧一厢情愿的认为：自己念念不忘的人，在老了或者出事的时候，会回过头来找自己的。
