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.
看意大利片常常成为审美再教育，导演一个镜头也没浪费。新事物是生命之美，与之相比，回忆无比快乐也无比痛苦。原来我们都想逃脱自己的失败，像一个大人一样，不要垮掉。
父母意外身亡带来的冲击与悲伤，希望通过性启蒙让他振作的伯爵夫人，无畏的走私犯朋友。还有做为那不勒斯时代符号的马拉多纳，这一切都是命运的安排，上帝之手。
索伦蒂诺电影 卖钱的好看元素全具备 剩下都是屎 他鸡贼到能把你给气死
3.5 主角Feedback甜茶还feedback CMBYN结尾。氛围掌握，费里尼气息重，镜头语言致敬《八部半》、《月吟》
美丽的景色，琐碎的风景，突兀的片段，情节突然的急转直下。直到看到导演照片，我才意识到这是完完全全的“自传型青春日记“，导演找了个跟自己很神似的男演员。他最后还是去了罗马，做了电影导演，所以，谁能告诉我小修士到底是怎么回事儿？
心存希望，就能拍出治愈的电影。索伦蒂诺的镜头太迷人了。
悲剧里的荒诞更显悲凉，大概导演想说的是，他“在这片荒谬和混沌中，不知觉就这么长大了，也即将逝去了”。
我很同意这句话，并觉得不需要再多说些什么。
《贝尔法斯特》里的“不要回头”，到了索伦蒂诺的那不勒斯变成了“没人能逃出这座城市”。一种乡愁记忆在流媒体全球化时代的电影人中间蔓延
探索自我总要回归最初的记忆，命运对每个人都有独一无二的馈赠，但是每个人自己的选择决定了他的人生轨迹是否能摆脱命运形成自由的自我。
上帝之手并非万能之手， 通过难以言喻的悲伤，一位少年最终成为一名男人
和《痛苦与荣耀》确实同出一辙，少年时代的记忆成为构建整个故事的基础，导演摄影方面极为出众，男孩在那不勒斯的生活充斥着动荡与悲喜。他的成长经历中虽然遭遇了一场堪称巨变的悲剧，但却仍旧未曾动摇男孩作为一个那不勒斯的观察者，饱含着对电影的热爱，用心记录下这一切的无常。
家长里短要如何拍出戏剧冲突
小小年纪就已经会双唇微张，眼神迷离应付所有情感戏这一套了。
意大利青少年和意大利中老年简直就是两个物种
伟大的意大利______万岁（横线上随便填啥都能得分）！
乡愁类电影的创作，应该是个人化的。但电影创作的初衷或者说任务是被人观赏，与观众共情是创作者的“责任”。一味铺陈过度私人化的、对他人而言大多无法触碰与理解的记忆碎片，纵然有那不勒斯的美景相称，也如隔靴搔痒，难以直击灵魂。
又是怀旧年代片，又是少年时代回忆录，又是青春记忆的散文诗。《罗马》《贝尔法斯特》《甘草披萨》之后观看《上帝之手》不免感到审美疲劳，毕竟私人化的回忆与情绪打动不打动观众，还真要看机缘。但是导演的视听技法实在是好，对影像的构建依旧精准。即使这片里的意大利时代背景我看不懂，七大姑八大姨的各路亲戚朋友看得我脸盲，且不知道在讲啥，影片的一些段落仍能打动我。少年视角其实稍显窄了点（《罗马》会是一个走史诗路线、规避个体体验的狭隘的正面案例），创作时的“神迹降临”“满满乡愁”终究有些痕迹在，有些遗憾。（但依然碾压《贝尔法斯特》这个水货）
生活不能一直用喜剧来掩饰裂痕，这样日积月累之后，即使是上帝之手也无法缝回。更喜欢前半段的故事，用喜剧来掩饰悲伤，后半段直接把悲伤演出来，反而无法共鸣，男主还太年轻，hold不住这悲伤的重量
那不勒斯的魔幻一度以为是南美….整部男孩的成长有点《天堂电影院》的意味…只是天堂让不要回来，本片让不要离开…….零散的记忆隐喻稍微让观影障碍…氛围感以为是一部轻松的电影…悲伤的转折并不能共情，后半部分抽象又哲学…..（可能是我太零散的观影过程了….）
