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.
每个人都在平庸地活着，为何一定有目标才能有火花？皮克斯认真起来从来没有让人失望过，这次他们又打开脑洞，通过一个音乐老师濒死灵魂出窍的点子，来探讨灵魂的本质与生命的意义。简洁的画风加上自在的幽默，一个死后的魂灵世界便奇妙地出现在眼前，在一系列兜兜转转的冒险之后，又能给你会心一击，让眼泪在眼眶里打转。
男主坐在钢琴前，开始出现人生的片段的时候，就连音乐都没有后面的煽情，可是不由得泪流满面，仿佛带来了《飞屋环游记》开场的人生感动。价值观超高级，所谓的火花并不是让你用“成功”等词语来定义，每一刻活着都是意义。虽然结尾给了动画应该有的美好结局，但也坦然面对了“生死”话题，在这糟糕的一年，有这一部电影就够了。
非常适合人格型塑期的孩子看，让尚未直面人间苦难的他们知道人间值得。但对我这种年近四十的阿姨来说，电影回避了真正的人生问题和存在之惑，可以让人因叙事和技术处理而有所感动，却不会进入灵魂深处。
目标不是意义，无差别的每个当下碎片更不是。能组成完整的人生图景的拼图才是。
这是关于我们这个时代的，又一位大师笔下的纽约，远比《曼哈顿》《弗朗西斯哈》更瑰丽奇绝
音乐和美术好评，修复的魅力也好评，故事稍微有点虎头蛇尾
想起海子的诗：你来人间一趟，你要看看太阳，和你的心上人，一起走在街上。
故事偏套路制式，想象力创造力的亮点不够（可能只有出神的世界），点燃不了我熄灭已久的火花。
看完这部电影，你不但可能会爱上爵士，更重要的，是可能重新爱上生活。还好我不用先死一次就已经懂得珍惜现在的一切～
看故事前，就先被纽约城市逼真的动画质感震撼到，强烈的现实感仿佛在看真人电影，尤其是理发厅与地铁内的空间氛围最出色。即使主题依旧是皮克斯所擅长的“拟人化”与“生死感悟”命题设定，且有逻辑漏洞并不完美，他们仍然把这个故事打磨得老少咸宜、游刃有余，且深情而催泪。他们总能把这糟乱世界中散落的点滴美好呈现在观众面前，这次还有好听的爵士乐伴奏助兴，哪怕强行治愈正能量鸡汤也不突兀。走出影院，想到国产动画还只能在“封神宇宙”“神话传说”和“抗美援朝”中“崛起”，实在绝望。四星半
片尾彩蛋里把自己鼓得好大的小灵魂好像我家小宝贝呀，看到最后好想回家了。
前幾天看完這部電影時,說實話我並沒有太大感受,這幾天一直在思考這部電影帶給了我什麼?一個人在追求夢想的路上,會不會忽略了生活帶給你的浪漫?當你達到自己的理想目標時,真的會覺得就只是這樣了嗎?這種喜悅來去都很快~這並沒有什麼特別的地方.而這些年來自己的人生都用在追求理想的道路上,最美好的事全都忽略掉了, 這就是城市病吧,不進步就會焦慮,沒人享受生活,都在忙著追求物質生活.為了理想,沒有思想,過濾掉了那些美好的事,到最後才發現,這也許不是你想要的,一個人生來,並不知道自己真的想要的是什麼,所有你想要的東西,都是外界引導你去追求的.在這個信息炸裂的時代,減少自己的慾望,努力做到工作生活雙贏,儘量多的和你愛的人去享受生活,你會變得快樂很多.————來自本文盲的見解.
皮克斯掌握着全球最先进的动画技术，细节精致把控到分毫，拿出放大镜来观察也能禁得住考验。在掌握先进技术的同时，每次总能扣住温情的主题，带给忙碌生活的人们以抚慰。只是这次带给我的感动并没有相似题材的《意外的幸运签》多。
小时候一直觉得这个会有续集的，2021年终于看了4K版本的完整故事，也算是补全了一个缺憾吧。
美术设计太过精致好看，剧情细节也是太传统和太中国的，八十年代有这种动画而现在呢。
比较像《It’s a wonderful life》的简化版，设定铺得很满，情感内核一泡污，最后的bonus life毫无意义。当某Jerry说出“火花不等于人生目的”的时候，“soul”的概念就变成灌输性质了，诺兰看了想流泪 with yy
6/10。给大城市打工人的美式快餐，喜欢里面对城市细节的打磨。不喜欢灵魂世界那种《今夕何夕》式画风，在儿童与成人间反复横跳，主要还是太难看了，不能学一下汤浅政明今石洋之那种脑洞吗？中间差点睡着，尤其是进入猫身体那部分，快变成流浪猫鲍勃了。整体像无聊版的《爱乐之城》，想知道达米恩·查泽雷看完怎么想。（我怀念那个总动员时期引领潮流的皮克斯，而不是现在头脑特工队、coco、½的魔法、soul这样靠一点小创意一点小感伤一点小成长的一碗碗流水线鸡汤）
正在下载中...啥时候下完呀.
从不抗拒建立在说教之上的主旨，踏实平稳的叙事总能让立意如同指挥棒，引领类型人物完成既定的协奏曲，无论是私密情感的流淌，还是对生命历程的回望，都是一种义无反顾的普世价值铺展，这就是皮克斯的电影观。结局的圆满或许是缺憾，但幕布迅速拉下，留下观众怀抱着对生活的热忱与信心继续前行。
即使整个剧本都是套路，但还是被这碗鸡汤给打动，因为感动是一种本能，就像活着，拥有意识——如此富足地被给予这整个世界，是如此轻而易举跳脱了所有关于自杀的哲学讨论。
