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.

概念先行，西学与朱子学的冲突-融合架构，然后人物一个个填进去，人物的转变也如牵线木偶。但还是感动，想打四星...因为题材本身还没有成为历史。
唉……这本来应该是这个时代中国人拿出来的东西，可……这个电影可说的太多了，然而又能如何
①百姓们把土地当做农田，官吏们把百姓当做农田。②朱子的力量，真是强大啊。
前有《思悼》，后有《兹山鱼谱》，在对国家过往儒家文化的深刻反思这一方面，韩国竟然又一次走在了中华文化圈的前列
剧情无感，说教就更没意思。卞约汉水下那一段最好看。
导演把刘亚仁姜河那卞约汉都导了一遍……// 开篇让人好奇，这是想拍理念、东西、儒耶还是纯粹的党争。同样的题材，或许换个中国导演拍不出这种韩史剧的地气和节奏，因此有新鲜感。前半段纠结黑白色度，看到后面昌大穿上白色的两班服眼睛才舒服下来（无言）。婴儿军布那场戏，昌大伸手挠下巴一幕正令人眼前一亮，下一幕就解开系绳打了上去……昌大回到了兹山，故事也几乎回到了原点，除了两本书。循环往复中，最后竟然还是书获得了胜利。ps 这里有少见的令人开心的评论区。
文化不是一天两天积累出的，韩国在致力于发扬传统文化方面下足功夫。
他们那时注定要承受巨大的孤独，
5/10。正剧喜剧化，想到同样黑白摄影的《影》，我更喜欢张艺谋那种装模作样范，并且这部的视听完全是古早电视剧水平。我已经脑补到邓超搭档陈道明拍一部中国师生情金鸡八项提名了。

第一个在电影里公开反对反对朱子理学的东亚三国，读了读韩国简史，确实是自上而下又自下而上的社会启蒙认知，日本的sh运动是单纯的自上而下的，因此还是保留右翼的皇族贵族。这种片不要再说应该拍的是我国，鲁迅早在100年前就把剧本改写的都写好了👍
一个流放，一个入仕——在两条相向而行的相交线上，达成对求知思辨的颂扬、对封建官僚的批判、对东西于我的探寻。影片的处理也基于这个杂糅的调性：影像上黑白调色，直到结尾处一只鸟、一片海才点缀、挥洒出一抹蓝；故事上又颇多情节剧式的桥段+配乐（再加上可居婶颇像林美秀，总以为自己在看《健忘村》），严肃活泼。
8/10.
前三分之二让我惊喜意外，后三分之一让我震感和感动。出世与入世的二元对立人物分离又融合，茅盾又融洽。人与人之间，道与道之间。这部电影讲了处世之道，却又那么飘渺和浪漫。记录london korean film festival2021
很崇敬那些在儒朱仕林当道的时代，
除了讲好了一个流放著书的故事，还恰到好处地讽刺了官场厚黑。
思悼、南汉山城、茲山鱼谱这三部真的是韩国历史剧的神作
韩国人，有点东西。人类总习惯性设定太多对立，永远在争执孰是孰非，而事实上对真理和世间大义的追求，无论今昔俗洋往往殊途同归。翻译不错，电影更好。
