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.
在来西班牙的飞机上看的电影，对美国底层的刻画非常忠实。但看得出赵婷心里是有光的，她并未仅仅以悲惨吸引眼球，她刻画的是一个物质匮乏，但人心却纯洁而亲密的“底层美国”。
诗意的空镜，琐碎艰难的日常被赵婷缝合得天衣无缝。不是无处停留，只是停留在哪里都不对，都是勉强的尴尬，是依然不改的孤独。那么，上路吧。我想起鲁迅的孤独者，有时候孤独是遗传的，是命定的，那么就接受吧！我仿佛看到了自己对自己晚年生活的推演，那么到时候就去承受去感受去忍耐，这是你的人生。
我们要飞到那遥远地方看一看 这世界依旧那么凄凉
预算：N/A
其实不单单诠释的是孤独，而是如何解脱，知道最后Fern都没有走出来，在没有他的世界我该如何活下去？唯有走在路上，孤独的找答案，找到答案的时候，也就是和自己和解的时候。
被全球化進程帶來的美國本土製造業的凋敝甩出的產業工人，拒絕任何中產階級的生活方式，進入一種得到美化和歌頌的流浪生活，且這種流浪遠行的精神，遙承了西進時代勤懇、冒險、開拓、野蠻的騎士精神和60年代自由的嬉皮士精神。後二者也被認為是典型的本土化的美國“國家精神”，片中正隨處可見作為符號的高高飄揚的美國國旗。片末女主回到工廠所在的小鎮，表達的是對製造業和工人階級的黃金時代的懷緬，而作為主角的底層白人房車客，正符合以製造業回流和“美國優先”的民粹主義為基本政策的特朗普的典型支持者的畫像。從這個意義上說，這部以情緒、氛圍和體驗取勝的，類似紀錄片的好萊塢劇情片，包含了清晰、鮮明的政治立場，以及對美國社會問題、特別是階級問題的自我反思。2021年2月10日（臘月廿九）下午、24日（正月十三）深夜於海甸島。
就是用散文诗的方式反应现代游牧民族的生活状态。科恩嫂的演技一如既往的牛叉，配乐非常棒。但是看不到太多赵婷的过人之处，距离李安还是有不少差距！
有选择而浪漫才是真浪漫。
在我人生中的特殊时期看到这部电影，对于失去挚爱亲人的感受非常真实。人的状态始终在坚强和脆弱之间平衡，看过了无数风景，阅过了更多有趣的人，天地之间无限辽阔，生命如此生机勃勃，内心的涟漪却难以抚平，也许会有一天与自己和解，但又执意不愿那天如此快的到来。
挺让人沉浸的作品，剧作上的起始发展，必定牵引出人物剩下的家人，同路人不同的选择，为什么上路的理由是每个人承受的不同伤痛。女主角的表演支撑起整部片子，视角始终站在客观的立场，伤痛确确实实传达了出来。
「When you growing up, you were eccentric to other people, you maybe seemed weird but it was just because you were braver and more honest than everybody else.」「What's remembered lives.」「One of the things I love most about this life is that there's no final goodbye. You know, I've met hundreds of people out here and I don't ever say a final goodbye. I always just say, "I'll see you down the road". And I do. And whether it's a month, or a year, or sometimes years, I see them again.」
写到这里，我蓦地想到《兰亭集序》中一段话，虽意不相通，然情可共，附于此：“向之所欣，俯仰之间，已为陈迹，犹不能不以之兴怀，况修短随化，终期于尽！”
街头语言很缓和，大量的冷色调和清新的配乐，十分适合早春和晚冬看。
虽然和克隆和个体之间达成了和解，也和自己和解，但是就算有百分之九十九的相似，也有一些细微的改变，比如爱狗变成怕狗，更多的还有什么都是未知的，甚至一些我们自己都不知道的，就是有这些存在，才让个体独特，所以再像也不是那个人了。
孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见長江天际流……以前不大明白這两句，昨下午看了這片（赶热闹）算明了一點……人生長恨路長在……
流浪者之歌，听见了诗看见了光，经历过风霜雨露，无需太多感伤，也不需要抒情，懂得人自然会懂
后崩盘时代，零工经济，被迫游牧。也与美国六十年代的嬉皮士文化进行对话，但与他们不同的是，那些中产阶级的孩子们是在模仿贫穷，而本片里的关键是“had to”，不得不离开，不得不上路。这不是“在路上”，而是迫于生计，可与《对不起，我们错过了你》结尾的卡车上路对话。从冬至冬，一年时间，周而复始，重回亚马逊打工，女主角拒绝了一切外力的帮助，她是“无法停下脚步的人”，导演依然进行了有限度的审美诗化。非职业演员表演出色。
金球奖落下帷幕，无依之地成为最大赢家，除了斩获最佳剧情电影，赵婷也获得了最佳导演……在我看，这部电影足以和Charles Chaplin的《Modern Times》比肩，都是在讲经济大萧条之下的人性光辉大爱无言。弗朗西斯-麦克多蒙德和“漂泊者”之间的互助就像Chaplin和孤女，彼此帮扶亲密无间，并且全部都坚信希望之光就在眼前。奥斯卡影后沧桑的面容很富有年代感，她追逐着季节更换工作频繁，与《Modern Times》的Chaplin异曲同工即便相隔近百年！
分了三段看的看完的。每段都有哭，最后看那段视频的时候哭到抽泣。
