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.
有点浅，但对于迪士尼合家欢来说也足够了。想象力不错，女性成长过程中想要脱离原生家庭的那部分自我被具象化成红熊猫，东亚家庭母亲对子女的控制被描述为红月夜的作法仪式。但是电影太温和了，这种控制被美化成了爱与担心，女孩的逃离最后被升华为与自己的不完美和解。而现实中很多女孩遭遇的远比影片中激烈且沉重。
优点是前半部分非常可爱，所有人物都可爱，故事讲的也挺灵动俏皮。剩下的全是缺点。这基础设定虽然有些新颖，但故事讲述实在是过于肤浅且公式化，这也太套路了，没有任何惊喜，照本宣科一般的生硬无趣，强行说教，强行煽情。后半部分所有人物全部沦为工具人，什么时候谁说什么话，全部像标准答案一样的死板沉闷。拜托，拍电影不是数学解题。越往后看越尴尬，甚至是厌恶，几乎要关掉屏幕了。这3星给的实在有些勉强。再有，这导演的《包宝宝》和这部优缺点几乎是一样的，想法不错，设定还算有趣，但表现的过于生硬和公式化，硬灌鸡汤。最后，这片子虽然充满了中国元素，但对华裔一家的片面描述，让我不大舒服，不对，是很不舒服。
一只「赤化」的熊猫。母辈们被压制的东西可以有很多种解释：从生理到精神的女性欲望、华裔身份，甚至可以共产主义后遗症。红色是经血、是怒火，也未必不会是「红色中国」——强调朱明也是意味深长。第二代移民还是典型的东亚式精英，第三代在多元的氛围里完全没有隔阂。由此我感兴趣的是，身份认同是否在流行文化的渲染下，以模糊、笼统、大而化之的姿态进入新一代的表述。
还是一贯的好莱坞式中国故事，套用一个古代离奇传说设定，表现现代与传统价值观的冲突，家庭代际之间的矛盾与和解，又加上了青春期的自我找寻。故事本质还是停留在很浅层的东西，说实话，很难共情。
渴望得到父母认可，拼命做好一切，满足家人需要，对别人委曲求全，对自己却异常苛刻。最终发现，没有父母的认可，自己也依然有自己的价值，当自己变强时，才拥有真正的自信。可惜刚摆脱父母的认可，又落进了垃圾偶像崇拜的坑，力量始终来自于外人，最终变成了福瑞少女。
东亚女看Turning Red需要一个Trigger Warning，虽然狠狠共情但电影本身真的好俗套普通， 拜托这可是皮克斯。我不需要再看一部完成度较低的《勇敢传说》或者时长增加到100分钟的《包宝宝》。
【8.6】没想到今年最大的惊喜来自2021年最后几天的一部国产电影（虽然今年也没看几部片嘻嘻）。你要让我挑刺的话，反正我是无话可说，没什么好挑的。国内非常少见的地域特色浓厚的都市爱情片，但是又不像市面上大多数的同类型电影一样浓妆艳抹，反而给人的感觉更像是一部欧洲电影，但是更加本土，更加接地气，剧本写得也是妙趣横生，又不乏思考，其中还不乏好几场十分精彩的群戏，整体的观影体验出奇的好，应该算得上是我今年最愉悦的一次影院观影体验了！除去电影本身浅显易懂的表达以外，片子还是有不少迷影元素的，真的能让对电影，对这个行业热爱的人为之一笑哈哈哈哈。
前半比后半好。。。后半像写不下去了想潦草匆匆收尾，但前半是真不错。
用红熊猫隐喻与我们的宗法制规范相对抗的本我好有意思，好像也是华人一生的课题。最好笑的是妈妈变红熊猫，扒拉开体育馆天花板的那一刻，把被控制欲特强的家长抓到的危机用巨物恐惧的方式具象化得活灵活现。现实中哪有那么多这样的妈妈，真实故事的结局往往是一地鸡毛啊？
懦弱的不会处理家庭关系却总能在最关键时刻捡漏展现父爱的爹，“因为我妈对我不好所以我也不会做妈”的脸谱妈，不必考虑75分的成绩升不上好学校的朋友大喊着“你叛逆了我真为你高兴”，甚至核心思想还要靠话疗来讲，这扁平到比A4纸还要薄的故事竟然也配算东亚家庭的切片？东亚家庭枯死的最后一片叶子也比这内容丰富而深沉的多。
一次简单的放松。缺位的父亲和控制欲过强的母亲都是东亚孩子的共情。即使觉得自己的13岁羞耻到令人抓地，但还是有点羡慕可以在13岁时候变成一只可爱的小熊猫。
红熊猫好可爱！
说给孩子听还是说给父母听，皮克斯自己也没想清楚。
至少在描写代沟时，电影能够直视成长与教育的继承问题，横亘在两代之间由社会发展带来的观念差异，在母亲再次「成为小孩」后得以及时和解——这或许侧面解释了母亲的红熊形象为何如此巨大，除了多个长辈的期望外，不断在内心衍生的自我厌恶也一直相伴而生。最终，驱邪仪式在传统与流行／技术的交融下完成，未尝不代表了一种意义更为深远的「和解」。
2.5 这感觉像极了春晚，我想看的不过是一台出人意料的好戏，结果来的又是一坨无数层次各种强扭自我感动的屎。
即使红熊猫代表了叛逆、闹腾、情绪失控，它始终是可爱的，童心未泯把想做的事放第一位的人就是那些保留红熊猫的人，太多人极力去约束自己，生怕闯出祸来，小心翼翼的成人世界与胆大妄为的青春岁月，哪一个更美妙，不言自明，勇敢做自己，不要压抑天性。
【超喜欢小熊猫啊！和我一个学生很像。喜欢的看看职场小烈】这个短评是我在20年上映前写的，当时算热评吧。女人的青春期不能说算是很懂，但是作为少年教育材料是非常不错的。
东亚家庭里，父母为子女活着，子女为父母的期待活着，到底谁在为自己活着。美美留住熊猫，释放与亲密关系切割的勇气，决定变得凶猛，拒绝被圈养，也不会圈养任何人，无论以任何名义。
皮克斯常见的奇幻-现实的双关逻辑在片名中已经和盘托出——“turning red”既是从人形化作红色熊猫的身体变化，亦是初潮来临后的青春期“变形记”；红色在片中的表层文本中较之文化政治意涵更倾向对于生物学层面的生理变化以及家庭内部亲缘关系转变的聚焦，然而家庭伦理问题在此语境下又何尝不是时刻与更广阔的种族以及国族政治维持着纽结的张力。
窒息的东亚亲子关系很真实，永远无法让父母满意的子女。即使遇到困难（变成熊猫）也不敢告诉妈妈的小孩，让人难受（抹泪。但小熊猫也太可爱了吧！
