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.
故事碎片化，更像是梅艳芳逸闻录。王丹妮模仿得算够像了吧，但角色整体还是单薄。再就是张国荣选角有点油了。此外减分点还有无节制滥用柔光特效和复古滤镜，以及一些塑料质感的出戏布景。
百变梅艳芳，香港的女儿。喜欢港片的，强推《梅艳芳》，看到泪目。 王丹妮演得非常好。 演哥哥的不做评价。程序员都干嘛吃的？别TM搞美女换头了，赶快让去世的演员们在电影里复活才是正经事。
作为传记电影是不足的，没有达到预期，但对梅艳芳真的极尽怜爱。
我只想问一句：近藤真彦给剧方塞钱了？渣男还被美化了，我直接吐了，有这个时间我还是把Anita的告别演唱会再看一遍吧😅
昨天看的过程中想明白了一个准则 — 这种超名人的传记，要么挑ta们生活中的一小段故事放大拍，这样可以用新演员，呈现出这个人一段时间的一段状态，情绪给够。如果要拍一整个人生的流水账，那必须找名角。名角才撑得起名角的一生。演员也确实需要足够的历练才能表演出经验造成的前后差异。梅艳芳这部太可惜了。多标准的一个苦情艺术人生，最后搞成这样不咸不淡的。梅艳芳选的不合适，张国荣选的简直差劲。剧本莫名其妙。人物有些走形到离谱。哎。好故事被糟蹋了。
整个电影非常分裂化，一方面你不知道你是在看电影还是在看纪录片。梅艳芳四十年的人生太精彩了，太难拍了，所以只能跳着拍，捡着拍，以至于过大放大了梅姑情欲。她不止爱的是人，还有观众，舞台，音乐，演戏。王丹妮送上了一份完成度不错的答卷，偶尔神态有似梅艳芳，其他陈善可乏。整个电影场只有两个人，我忍到最后梅姑那句"拜拜"，我才红了眼。坐在我隔壁看电影女生，在后半段全程暴风抽泣。是啊，她好像也参与了一部分梅艳芳的人生。她有，我有，似乎看这部电影的你都有。
梅姐和哥哥的魅力在于自在，洒脱，真，没有人演的了他们，或者说他们没法被演。
拍成这样真的不如做成一部纪录片全部用真实影像更真诚。
杨过长发的造型像慈爱的大妈，袁承志也老了。
全片看下来最触动我的竟然是姐姐和梅姑温暖的亲情。从幼年的登台演出，到那个一起吃了很多年的路边摊，看着回忆里梅姐和姐姐手拉手唱着歌回家的背影，只有遗憾和无限心酸....
真的就是，一邊心裡吐槽流水帳，一邊哭得稀裡嘩啦，電影非常一般，讓我落淚的始終是那個彷彿一場大夢般的Anita Mui。永遠也不要說再見，我的心會碎多次。｜和🔥女士還有馬老師看的。
【C－】当各种真实影像资料混杂正片呈现给观众时，就已经宣告了本片拍摄的无必要性。只是在各种科普选取中强调传记对象的无可替代性，除此之外再无更多收获。属于那类最没特色，最平庸且最流水账的香港电影，在演员一般，剧本一般，视听破碎的观感下，也足以让观众再一次发问：为什么必须是传记片而非纪录片？
做得好的地方也有，比如第二转折点的那场改编式采访和1:99段落，人物气势很稳。但也因为剧作上框定死了这样一条人物线，前面的梅艳芳形象都浮光掠影。
幻灯片式流水账叙事，最乏味也最传统，但对于梅艳芳这样一个传奇女子，我倒觉得是合适的，看她一步步走来的模样，不就是香港的大时代映射和缩影。虽然一个个片面无法全景展现她这一生，但从后半段叙事重点的变化也可以看出“梅艳芳精神”的影响力。
拥有的就去珍惜，没有的就尽力争取，不要忘了回首来时路，梅姐歌声声声入心…
老戏骨还是老戏骨，太喜欢古天乐和林家栋了，戴眼镜的古仔非常有Eddie精准时尚的设计师气质，还有林家栋，也是真的将华星总经理的感觉拿捏的妥妥的~
前半可以，后半乱了。一开场就是郑少秋唱乡广美的歌，后面也一直出现那首歌，有点出戏。后藤夕辉应该就是近藤真彦，她那时不知不觉间一直做人家小三，后面也一直在美化那段感情，有点过。人物传记片难拍，尤其她经历了好几个敏感时期。古天乐和林家栋演得倒是不错。
2.音乐选得好，安排的节奏时间点也好。
要怎么说呢？能怎么说呢？电影可能有及格的评分，可梅艳芳应当是时代的精神。我想象里面的梅艳芳应该是金鸡的模样，当她说拜拜的时候，你恍然大悟，那不是一个人在对你告别，而是一群人在你的面前微笑转身，你看着他们渐行渐远、潸然泪下，然后像阿金一样戆居懵懂而不自知、随波逐流却坚韧求生，你拔足狂奔试图拉住他们挥别的手，对他们说：不要走，不要走。他们就像宫二一样告诉你：所谓大时代，不过就是一个选择，或去或留，我选择留在属于我的时代。你恍然大悟，原来不必追，香港电影已死已是不争的事实，霑叔早就写过：当你见到天上星星，可会想起我，可会记得当年我的脸，曾为你更比星星笑得多…他们都在对你说，请你记得我，请你记得我。于是你恍然大悟，原来不必追，只需要记得有一个时代灿烂过，有一群星星闪耀过，他们对你说，请你记得我～
尽管比原型高了11cm，王丹妮刚开始还是有些许梅艳芳风范的，但在从掌掴事件开始往后的叙事里她就不太hold得住人物了。不知是否由于片方对她的形似而神不似亦有所觉察，不时便会搬出原纪录片段和唱段原声用以避短，以致王丹妮越到故事后半场越像一副借以展示梅艳芳生前素材的躯壳，而非传记主角其人。最终一部梅艳芳的传记，全片最好哭的竟是张国荣去世的时刻，真不知该不该归因于张国荣的影响力太大。四颗星给梅艳芳、张国荣外加私心喜欢的廖子妤。香港圈子太小，在那个年代稍有声望和影响力的人也大多尚未远去。如此一来，每到实处便没法继续往深了拍，最终只能避重就轻，诉之于温情励志、感慨唏嘘。
