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.
看得很舒服。超大景深海景特别美。节奏不快也不慢，不是强情节但也不是过度文艺沉沉闷闷很无聊的片子
数码黑白的质感确实差点儿
「余闻而愈悲，孔子曰：“苛政猛于虎也！”吾尝疑乎是，今以拉贾坎努观之，犹信。呜呼！孰知赋敛之毒，有甚是蛇者乎！故为之说，以俟夫观人风者得焉。」
总体还是拍的偏“好看”了。
故事背后的真实案例发生在 1995 年，印度无比黑暗。同样是 1995 年，被中国公检法系统冤枉的聂树斌被执行枪决，同一时期大量的冤假错案到现在都没全部平反。2021 年，中国终于从亡国边缘走了回来，而印度连 18 大都没机会开。作为个体的救世主是不存在的，不论是比姆还是湿婆，没用的。阶级斗争才是王道，印度需要的是流血漂橹的无产阶级革命，而不是妄想着在资本和宗教的绞杀之下靠所谓的法治和民主翻身。
洋人了解了地圆，还信奉天主？有趣的问题
大俗却有大爱，令人感动的电影具有强大的力量。
有点可惜，有的地方还是有开挂神片的影子，男主的塑造不是很饱满，同类型的《辩护人》更优秀一些。希望印度人民早日领悟一句话：打土豪，分田地
像是说出了我去年决心去藏区的理由。可是，电影并没有回答，回到黑山岛的昌大，如何面对依旧难逃的社会桎梏呢？
其实警察大半夜来告诉女主她老公逃狱
很棒的电影，东方气息，历史文化感十足。从生存观到人生观，很有意思的是结尾转彩的镜头和岛上生活很容易让我想起《金福南杀人事件始末》。朱子的力量真是强大啊，时至今日，依然有人自许牧民，廷前扼人，又有什么用呢，但是人之善是绵绵不绝的力量啊。
印度电影打动我的总是题材，而非美学风格。看完本片心里很难过。印度固然有极其愚昧野蛮的一面，但起码其精英阶层是愿意认同并且努力拥抱支撑起现代文明社会的柱石的，所以这个国家是充满活力且大有希望的。
评论区里有个评论说“儒学的正反面，这种历史题材本该由我们述说，但这是一部韩国电影。”我很赞同这句话。在韩国电影百花齐放的时候，我们这边的电影却青黄不接。随着年龄的增长，越来越想看中国电影，但在当下的中国电影里又能看到什么呢？这是谁的过错？
四星五，开头稍微冗长，流放之后就很好看。文化思考的宏大命题，找了这样一个浅显易懂的角度，很好。结尾也干净，加分。
一流的剧本和表演。师徒互为对照。年轻的徒弟入仕为官后才懂人微力薄，老师教不会他的，经历把他教会了。无力改善民生，但学过的诗文印在心里，也斩断了同流合污的可能。实现不了经世致用的理想，却能在孤独清净的生活里守心守道。知识在儒学里、在科学里，也在兹山上大大小小的鱼类中。
@NYAFF 居然能把儒学vs catholism的政治哲学主题拍得如此accessible且digestible！看前以为是个历史黑白大闷片，但126分钟的电影前100分钟的节奏，配乐，轻松简直像在看Disney (in a mostly positive way)。“不辞长作兹山人。什么时候能有一部苏轼被贬儋州的水墨画电影”。 看到一个评论说的很好："《兹山鱼谱》看似云淡风轻，实际在讲王权与儒学的合谋，把一代代学子纳入体制，成为帮凶。 当然，这一点只是后者的表达之一。它还兼顾探讨了知识何用，真理标准，以及面对一个糟糕的体制，是投入其中努力改变，还是干脆做一个潇洒的隐士？ 这些问题由遥远的历史中飘来，直到今天，答案也仍在风中。 "
一部绝望与希望交织的电影。
可能是目前儒家文化的最好的影片，士大夫精神的绝佳诠释。让我感受到了东亚文明一衣带水的文化亲近，看到了儒家文明复兴的可能，或许多年以后，又会是一片诗乐礼仪蔚然成风的气象呢。期待中国也能拍出这样的片子
听村民讲述自己的遭遇 真的很难不让人破防
现在连士大夫情结的电影也只能看韩国的了，真是没救了
