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.
每日记录/第一季还有不少岁月静好的段落，往后就是柱灭的开始了…
这类电影很少有对我有吸引力的，不到中间就看得不太认真了
想看Webber, Ashman, Menken的传记片
没必要没必要 这都是动画我以为能有什么特别之处。结果没有
把任何困難都盡全力去樂觀，永遠積極的人，觀眾看著總會覺得他在天才和傻屌之間徘徊，黎明前的黑暗果然就是最黑的，咬牙拼了。故事背後的故事，令人心疼。
新年第一部电影。看着Jon和Susan就想到Mia和Sebastian，然后想到加菲和石头姐，更加意难平，就算不能在一起，能不能再合作一部音乐剧？
想说剧作常规，但作为传记片又好像不是编剧的错，开始意识到很多人（其实也是很少人）的人生大抵也是如此。看的时候当然会忍不住想到爱乐之城，但再也无法有当初看爱乐之城时候的情绪。在什么年龄遇到什么电影确实是一种缘分，而这样同样的电影也会不断不断地以不同的外壳呈现，给恰好遇到那部电影的人。
本来开始对这种励志歌舞片不感兴趣，看的时候发现这时音乐剧《吉屋出租》的编剧乔纳森·拉森。片子以30岁生日的节点引发人生焦虑，但乔纳森35岁就因为主动脉瘤猝然离世了，知道这个设定也就时片名《倒数时刻》的意思，看似是喜剧歌舞，讲的是人生的困惑，而且实在生命最后的时刻。同时电影的剧本也出自乔纳森之手，记录了他创作、与恋人因人生规划不同而分手、好朋友感染艾滋病等等故事，处于对创作的追求和对生活的热爱，乔纳森后来把身边同性恋朋友、艾滋病话题写入了《吉屋出租》。片子的主题、表演都没问题，因为是展现个人创作历程，穿插了太多励志和困惑交替的表达，中段时有点看的泄气了，故事表现性没那么强，最终没能完全打动我，和《爱乐之城》比可看性还是差了些。
这部电影和林聚聚互相成就，很难说林聚聚没有在电影的创作过程中融入自己成名之前的生活经历，幸运的是林聚聚等到了Boom的时刻，而Jonathan Larson则没有，意难平。Andrew Garfield意外唱得不错，而且把那种中二又落魄的文艺青年演得特别可爱，对女朋友那么渣都让人恨不出来。。。
终于看到一部94届奥斯卡不垮的了。凡妮莎·哈金斯唱的一首歌还是不错的。
主题和《爱乐之城》还挺相似，有优点，但都不是源自类型魅力，歌舞部分实在不太行
虽然是总集篇，高画质配合弹幕食用依然可以顺畅看完。
叙事没有什么新颖之处 但情绪推动到位了 给加菲比心♥
已经对这种中规中矩的传记片有些审美疲劳。疲惫又热情的加菲。
爱情，友情，穷困潦倒，三十岁还在追梦，经久不衰的故事，其他尔尔。
两代才子惺惺相惜的隔空致意。加菲尔德太棒了。
传记片嘛，四平八稳是基本面。其实更像马戏之王，而不是拉拉蓝【当然肯定最喜欢拉拉蓝】。所以，觉得还是很不错啦，会有很深的感动，歌也有好听的，足矣。
反观主角，难于两立真实生活（工作、朋友、恋人）和梦想（烙印DNA的音符、止不住的才华喷涌），矛盾疯狂摩擦出缤纷的音色。艺术源自生活，只是这里更应附带一句：“艺术来源于挫折”。永远无法被制作出的《Superbia》象征着年轻岁月才华最后的燃烬，唯遗憾造就究极的艺术，用来形容Jonathan再合适不过。
“你是被恐惧牵着走，还是被爱引导着。”或许也是到了成年人的疲惫焦虑期，这句话让我感触颇深。阅读他人的人生，共鸣彼此的勇气。
十足的艺术，已打动不了人心——我们在《库布里克谈库布里克》时就曾指出：二十世纪所有形式的艺术的某种失败就是对完全原创的痴迷。创作上的准确即艺术上的失误——呈现失误，艺术。呈现准确，套路。呈现套路，魔术。照「艺术家」木心的话说，舞蹈、体操、武术，呈显出来的肢体之美是有意的，劳动、工作、休憩中人体构成的美是无心的，特别美，富诗意——显然，音乐剧电影《倒数时刻》试图通过电影媒介呈现「音乐剧创作人」拉森激荡又短促的生命轨迹。事实上，他严重依赖舞台和言语创作的音乐剧是失败的，而最终胜利的是他一遍遍的行动。影片令人感动之处也是艺术家与艺术舞台上的缪斯分手、年轻人与生活里的伙伴告别这些极富诗意的无心、无奈之美，是一个人、一群人「Over and over and over」劳动、工作、休憩中人体构成的美。
