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.
我觉得懂我的朋友多少懂这部电影。
影片非常松散，通篇才用了一镜一个场景的方式，其实在通过小说家的嘴表达着真实社会的面貌。广角镜头在美学上令人感觉是手机拍摄的，以至于构图美学基本只有书店外的那个机位比较好。这令我感觉影片还是缺乏全方位的技巧，镜头艺术性也很欠缺。
开局稳稳，最后结尾有点塌了，但是前期铺陈和小段戏写得都很好，镜头运用就是基本女主视角，拍后脑勺，虚化后景，真实感怼脸的感觉。最后有点崩了，结尾可能也是不知道走向哪了，好像大家现实中面临的一样…
诗集和电影，戏里戏外的浪漫告白，全部给缪斯金敏喜。各种借电影喊话的明显意味，也挺有意思的。
片头提示很贴心 果然会引起不适 医疗资源倾斜在疫情期间太突出了 我们的生命平等过吗 反正大陆是不敢这么拍的
还蛮奇妙的，今天一天先后看了洪的第一部电影《猪堕井的那天》，和最新的这部《小说家的电影》。前者在叙事手法和某几个镜头上让我想起杨德昌的《恐怖分子》，故事充满戏剧张力，但却充斥着男性视角下对女性的幻想与意淫，甚至残暴，实在喜欢不起来。而后者则充满了反思，没有强叙事，而是风轻云淡地拉扯出了爱、温柔与惺惺相惜。前者是洪早期电影的典型代表，而后者则是一脉相承于洪后期（遇见金敏喜后）的作品。两者之间的视角与风格形成极大的反差，不由得感叹金敏喜的魅力，爱情的魅力。
看到护理中心里的老弱病残，没有任何防护装备，得不到政府的任何帮助，只能等着一个个死去，然后被摘掉房门上的姓名牌，这是英国真正的至暗时刻。
让我们听不见一分钟

首先不能拿电影标准要求这部剧，但是对标中国医生，后者连个剧都比不上…格局缩得足够小，虽然感情塑造问题很大很空，但个人的情感要比家国更容易打动人，还更能反映问题。一场呼救无援后的自救长镜头，一场警车质疑，这两场戏撑起整个故事，大灾面前人人平等就是个笑话。
浪漫至极的电影，结局那些画面看哭我，真美好啊。
《引见》的延续，人物关系是几何的变化，最稳定以及最拿手的还是三角形。虽然金敏喜仍是主要角色，但是只是客观的承载容器，“去金敏喜”可能真是一种洪电影的未来趋势。
两星给敢于拍出这部电影的导演
几乎只能从老洪的电影里追星（敏）也没什么，已经知道了想知道的一切，美而心地纯洁、喜欢喝酒又想克制、作为一个名演员同时作为一个成年人不想再演戏（大作）的理由。这部没什么精巧的结构，不知道是不是片里所说的，生活经修补后电影也变得清晰。最后几分钟真的是拍摄现场vlog，很快乐很满足，今天也有为诚实的人们和他们的爱情流泪这样子。
不知道咋打分，完全不明白想表达什么，感觉是一部我也能拍的电影，低成本、不需要调色、没剧情只需要安排好人物台词、全片几乎全是架机定位，不知道，是我水平太低，还是说有一种可能，本片只是导演完全私人的表达，小说家=导演，借小说家之口表达一些自己的想法，可这样想会不会太简单，但我真的没法看出这平淡如水的电影中包含着什么内涵，虽然说电影不一定要有什么内涵，可总要有个主题吧，不明白
喝咖啡喝酒看电影的电影应该有一个自己的genre
“虽然天还亮着，但很快就会变暗了，趁着天气好的时候，尽情出门享受吧。”
所以别说“战胜疫情”，太妄自尊大和避重就轻。那么多撕心裂肺，那么多人永远不可能回去，那么多不计数不具名的逝去，都真实地发生过，我们已经输了。人类没有战胜困难，人类只是习惯了习惯。
金敏喜还是小女孩啊，被爱的人会闪闪发光。你说要彩色那就拍彩色，最后一段太好磕了，好幸福。什么是浪费生命呢，她有在做自己喜欢的事情。
如果现在要我立马拍一部电影，我想就会是这个样子。它展现了时间与空间意义上的”现在式“的状态。我欣赏导演对于日常细节和情绪微妙起伏的精准捕捉，把握了枯燥虚伪现代生活中诗意的瞬间。在这样往往复复的过程中，戏里主人公完成了一次对疲倦肉身和寂寥精神的救赎，戏外导演对金敏喜进行了热烈的爱情表白。
