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.
当下中国几无可能拍出这般反功利的电影。影片本身蕴含的文化意义甚至超出了电影的范畴。弘扬传统文化之于民族复兴的极重要意义，依旧未能为当下中国社会所普遍认识，而它却多年不间断地在为东亚邻国文化提供养分。韩国人把我们的一些文化传统据为己有当然令人不屑，但同时也是对我们长期漠视自身传统的讽刺。谈回电影，薛景求的古装扮相出人意料地讨喜，至于电影本身，难称经典，但还是不得不说，韩国人能拍出这样的电影，足够令中国人感到汗颜。
大道至简，不过再坚贞的真理缺少了亲历体验，恐怕跟文盲倒拿着书本也差不了多少。传的道或许有些消极，却又是血与泪换来的人生真谛。强者未必权钱在握，但万不能失了风骨丢了尊严。前作《思悼》还没看，导演的古装戏拍得很有意蕴。
这部影片实在是很一般。探讨的内容早已不新鲜，也很流于表面，但不得不说商业化很成功。部分说教台词写得也很精辟，给人一种文化底蕴丰厚的假相，和韩国整个文化产业的基调相同。热评一说得很好，本该是我们拍出的东西。但我们的导演编剧都在干嘛，这也许是一种浪费文化的惩罚？
看前半还以为是讲知识理论与现实的差距，没想到后半越来越混乱。昌大空学一身理论而无任何实践能力，作为一个贱民出身的人反而表现得像个没见过世界的贵族子弟一样。故事越来越离谱，让人很难相信是根据史实改编的，不知道导演到底自我发挥了多少。
甚至不如梅峰老师的不成问题的问题

猛烈讽刺了警界的黑暗，但还是克制了：总警监保有良心，叫女主姐姐穿上裙子的老警员也保有良心。电影上映审查局：嗯，允许上映
【3.0】和大多数取材自真实事件的印度商业片一样过度依赖情绪煽动力，冲突几乎都是由戏剧化的镜头直给，法庭戏也全是对白推进。整体上看，剧本和拍摄都谈不上优质。钱德鲁是位令人肃然起敬的伟大的人权律师，他和他的官司值得更得章法的传记片呈现，及格分是给这个人物的。
尽管外表乌黑而死气沉沉，却一直源源不断给国家输送着鲜活生机，不要做好高骛远的鹤，在乱世中做着脚踏实地的渔民也很好。但是思想虽生机勃勃、自由自在，现实却如鲠在喉。从这个角度上看，是一部确确实实的“文人电影”。
2022 #11。资源下了有好几个月了，一直因为是黑白片的缘故看了一下情节梗概觉得是人物传记类的文艺片，就一直没鼓起勇气看，看完了之后真的后悔没有早点看。虽然看了一些长评了解到后半部分很多内容为导演的自由发挥，但是从影片的评分就可以看出大部分人对导演的发挥还是非常满意的。此处非拉踩，但很多中国导演过于沉溺于拍摄战争时期的电影…其实我们能从古代文人墨客身上挖掘出来的那些“秘史”和“传说”太多了啊。当然肯定会承担很大的票房风险，但拍电影难道和做官一样，都是为了钱吗。
罪恶的种姓制度，竟然在现代世界仍然存在，悲哀。印度共产党有出镜，看来是少数的追求种姓平权的党派。
不知道真实的丁若铨是什么样的人物，但在电影中，他超越了自己的时代。“活得像兹山一样，虽外表看着黑暗，却生机勃勃，自由自在，也未尝不是有意义的事啊！”开阔，清醒，坚韧，乐观，不失去好奇心，这样的丁若铨，好像从电影中走了出来，成为我的老师，我的朋友。另，兹与玆（玄+玄）是两个字，前者读滋，此也，滋生也；后者读玄，黑也。但因为两个字长的太像了，常常混用。所以这里丁若铨写的是“兹”，韩语读音也是“兹”的读音，但意思用的却是“玄”的意思。
现实意义固然重大，但作为一部电影、一个故事，刻板是它的致命缺陷。主角基本就不是个活人，而是一个兼具侦探和律师双重身份、金光闪闪的神祇。叙事节奏也过分拖沓，充满了无关紧要的细枝末节。但我同时仿佛也能够听见印度电影人在说：是的，这片土地上充满了苦难、屈辱、不公和腐败，但所幸我们还有独立的司法和批评的权利。浑浊的黑暗中仍有光芒存在，愤怒终有回响。那至少在这一点上，我羡慕他们。
印度土著贫穷且悲惨！不知道什么时候厄运就降临，家破人亡。PS：去珠宝柜那边抓蛇，已经知道会有问题，放生蛇与大自然和谐相处也预示带来正义与财富。主旨跟《第15条》类似。
如果在印度生为低种姓感觉就是生在地狱。。。殴打的镜头好真实，不会是真打吧。。。
师徒的分歧是必然且无法回避的。昌大非得向上向外飞过，才能看懂兹山沉寂的实在的美。错过，误解，悔恨，都注定无可逃避
剪辑版。考虑到前一阵的一印度女性拒绝一男的，那个男的自杀，那个女的被杀死（好像是被处死了）以及以前他们霸凌网暴老白男强吻的女演员，完全不想夸他们。不过好歹印度拍了这样的电影。倒是也很真实。这个人权律师竟然没有被暗杀
读书人的困境：是秉承理想，还是同流合污？是为了小家，还是为了大家？黑暗但也有人性的光芒，风趣幽默，很有温度的一部电影。
水墨风的黑白色调，却意外地合适。儒学当道，本该以仁义治世，然非但容不下西洋学，将其贬为邪学，亦以百姓为农田，官僚上下串通，层层剥削，几近腐臭。若铨学问再多，儒学佛学西洋学样样精通，却无施展之地，腹中空有书墨，积郁成疾，入黑山后与昌大交往中渐悟，终顺应内心回归自然，书《兹山鱼谱》，既是避世，亦是求实，也承师徒情谊之重，成一美谈。
