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.
everybody has their inner fear or problems. perhaps a better way to deal with them is to accept them, make room for them, translate them, and live with them. life isn't perfect, so is every one of us. to be a perfect self is illusory and will only drive us to the abyss we set. accept who we are, good or bad, with no judgment. love and peace can be found in the present and the present is the best moment.
太好玩了！太浪漫了！太美好了！一个女人，没有造过反是不完整的！女人造反起来，可真美好！神话就是泡进酒桶的俗常，俗常是碎在窗边的神话。你看着我，我看着你，就是神话。马伊琍那么小的房间里，摆着一排书，里面有一套《第二性》。小白在听了白辛苦的一番说教之后，在朋友圈发了《爱说教的男人》封面。所有人的关系都暧昧又清晰，与爱情无关，又与爱息息相关，这就是女性。
华裔不等于中国人。这么说不是为了把相互的关联割掉，反而是承认不同而更明确的认识自己，经过这次观影我甚至明白为什么部分移民对传统文化的保管犹胜国内，因为国内的我们没有区别，也没有身份认同的苦闷，反而是移民群体一面在融合一面又在为“被排斥”寻求一种慰藉。总感觉欧美亚裔家庭的教育都太“鹰派”，让人压抑，即便是这么一部青少年动画里也能体会到一份无力反抗的感觉。庆幸的是，时代在向前，更年轻的孩子有更多自由和选择，但这一出导演的“传记”电影还是体现了一种典型，也散开了不少教育意义。
有没有想念过那个13岁以前的自己？有没有为你成年后一路丢盔弃甲而遗憾？你是不是已经是那个放弃愤怒沉默是金明哲保身却不免内心抑郁的成熟稳重的大人？你是不是对你的孩子有“基于爱与保护的控制欲”？敢不敢做一个“心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇”的成年人？
包宝宝变奏。主讲东亚父母对子女强烈的控制欲，正值青春期叛逆的孩子如何摆脱束缚追寻自我，套用了下东方奇幻元素的壳加以展现。祖孙三代齐心作战那段看得还是挺有感触的，母系女权议题永不过时。但整体感觉就是没啥新意，流水模板套固定公式（隔阂→叛逆→和解→接纳），自皮克斯被收购后作品的想象力表达与创意更迭大打折扣。
我就说这是美国主流商业大片里，中国味最正的一部了！谁赞成？谁反对？从画风到元素，从人物到剧情，尚气，花木兰之流可真是给它提鞋都不配啊！而且“中国父母过于窒息的爱总是毁了儿女的人生”这一主题，也比那些俗套过时的家庭戏再有意义不过了！！不过即便所有点都正中靶心，甚至我妈都跟她妈妈几乎一模一样，我在前半节都还觉得并没有特别能共情。还在想可能我毕竟不是女孩，青春期那种心理不太一样。但再往后可真是惊喜一波接一波，精彩到有点过分了！！我看今年奥斯卡最佳动画就是它了！往后谁再黑迪士尼？我第一个加入！凭啥？就凭皮克斯这么好的一部部动画，不给上映还不给上流媒体单独付费？？滚啊啊啊啊啊啊
换汤不换药的青春成长故事，传统父权玩腻了换成母系氏族，照着大熊猫的模样画小熊猫。对华语文化的理解永远地停留在了某个时期，或者说其实是唐人街文化，或者甚至谈不上是文化，仅仅是符号堆砌，毫无深度可言，这一点上离《雄狮少年》都还差很多。
受不了这种每个点都落在预期里面的感觉，就没有一点点惊喜，一点点都没有……
除此之外，故事有点浅显、俗套以及刻板印象.前半部分其实还不错，后半部分简直有点灾难式的雷.即使是讲的中国家庭故事，但完全没能打动我，也不会留下太深的印象.
勉强及格吧禁不起推敲。诸多亚裔的刻板印象，非常尴尬，甚至有乳的嫌疑。总的说来好像讲了一个故事就叫做怎么别人都没事就尼玛你有事，还是大事。这种高等华人对其他族群文化困境和身份认同矛盾采取无视的态度真的很欠揍啊。
每个人心里都有一头怪兽，不想被人发现的那一面，释放出来活出完整的自己，还是隐藏一世？担心自己驾驭不了的母辈们选择了后者，美美选择了和怪兽共存，让原本可怕的一面反而大受欢迎。母女在竹林产生共鸣那段泪流满面，多少儿女在渴求父母的理解和认同的路上走得伤痕累累。 不仅情节深刻节奏又细又准动作丝滑度又上一个档次，谁能想到皮克斯还能把人内心里那头怪兽做到如此萌炸天，Pixar YYDS！！
出乎意料，早前看《包宝宝》与本片预告感觉很一般。多元主流，日式丑萌画风，卡通化表演。对中国家庭文化挺了解的嘛，把青春期少女心都捉摸透彻，表现力超强，甚至有几分作者电影的气息，相信石之予导演转拍真人青春喜剧也不在话下，能不断喷发创意小宇宙。好的故事往往只需要讲一件简单的小事。第三幕不是很满意。★★★★/8
3.中国符号，神话故事、熊猫、宗祠
看多了颁奖季冲奥模板，看一部轻松幽默的动画放放松，太好看了！谁能拒绝这一个毛茸茸的大红熊猫啊！你可以永远想相信皮克斯，即使这是一次全新大胆的尝试，但石之予完成的非常出色，她不仅延续了皮克斯用最简单的最好看的方式讲最浅显道理的故事风格，还有就是融入的完全不违和中国元素，并无见到所谓的刻板印象，自然不生硬。主题关乎家庭、自我和女性意识，多生动的中式家庭刻画，深刻但不刻意，同时契合时代。“不要犹豫不前，不要为了任何人停留，你走的越远，我只会越骄傲。”不管别人怎么说，我爱这样的电影，我爱这样的皮克斯。“我们都有潜在的野兽，我们都隐藏着一个邋遢、吵闹、怪异的自己，只是很多人从没让它暴露过，但是我做到了，你呢？”
虽说人未到中年，但也已不再年轻，对于电影传达的东西，能体会到一些。现在想在电影院找一部能让人“舒服”的电影，已经很难了，不应过分苛责。
太吵了！整个叙事的节奏几乎从头飙到底，这样就太累人了。而且故事的模式虽然看似成熟，但其实还是浮在表面，缺少一种触及内心的力量。顺便说句，那个什么4-Town，确实肤浅得可怕，挺叫人讨厌的……
亚洲女性专供，只有亚洲女性会把自己 powerful 的一面在青春期由全家人做法给封印起来。这动画片，亚洲女人自由行第一课。
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？
3.5，看之前就觉得这个熊猫挺可爱的，没想到后面还有这么大一只。虽然挺商业化的，但是电影中的隐喻做得很棒，对于中式家庭的解剖也比较到位，与年轻母亲那段转场有点想到那个公益广告，与《雄狮少年》某种层面上发出了一样的怒吼：释放你心中的野兽，做你自己。
皮克斯的分镜和剪辑节奏如今也基本MCU化了，尤其前半小时看得简直头痛，浪费丰富的画面细节和至少纸面上不少的类型元素。至于剧本要怎么说呢……故事当然要讲，但如果像这样有弧光则不求棱角，有答案则不问问题，有小熊猫则完全不去触及背后的大象的话……倒没有不满意，可真的让人太不满足了。
