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.
Kenneth Branagh有一个金子般的童年，父慈母爱，学习好还有漂亮女孩子喜欢
和我唯一的共鸣就是我也要举家搬迁到月球，妈妈领巴迪送洗衣粉的举动可以看出信仰的力量，只是剧情上又显得那么刻意，个人推测本片在奥斯卡可能雷声大雨点小，最后分享结尾的话，致留下的故人，致离开的游子，致所有迷失的人
装腔作势地跟拍一段无逻辑的运动，随后的大全景自曝其片场实质，电影小镇级别的置景完全僵死，人物在各种精致构图的钳制下如同木偶。为什么要对标《罗马》？几乎和国产片水平差不多，报奥斯卡之前不如先来春节档走一圈，让大伙看看北爱版《我和我的父辈》
彩色会让故事更生动，本来就是个活泼的故事和背景，就没必要去用黑白。何况你的配乐还那么流行。
今天刚出炉的金球奖提名入围最佳影片导演男女配等6项大奖。"For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost."最后结尾的这三句话让我鸡皮疙瘩一下子就起来了。这个电影的主题就是这三句的浓缩，贝尔法斯特是家乡，有留下的老人，伦敦是新世界，有前往的年轻人，离开和到达在那个年代不光是远距离的牵绊，更是感情的遥望。这是北爱的导演自己的一封家书，也是感情复杂的一封情书。男女配作为一线大牌的顶级超模双双入围金球奖最佳配角可喜可贺。
内容撑不起这么高规格的制作。画面很有质感，但从头到尾完全没被打动，只觉得好漫长（结果才一个半小时多…）
每首歌倒是恰到好处，不过好散啊 也没法让我共情……
除了設計感，似乎也怪過多的設計感，讓這個故事始終行走於內心之外，欠缺更多的感染力。
电影回到1969年8月15日，全片是小男孩视角、他的世界是童趣和喜欢的小女孩，工薪阶层的父母为生活奔波和烦恼，爷爷奶奶看尽人生、用温柔和诙谐看世界，当时的社会大热点则是英国新教和天主教的冲突。几乎都是黑白画面的成片，几处夜景的画面光线、构图很美，第一时间没认出演奶奶的是朱迪·丹奇，小男孩和爷爷奶奶的戏很温馨、有点动人。PS. 詹尼斯·布拉纳继续这样拍片也行，别再祸害波洛才是真的。
英伦三岛一直就不平静…屁大的地方，争来争去～配乐真是不错，黑白的太差劲
看的时候我其实不知道当时发生了什么，也不想追究英国当年有着什么样的社会问题，只是觉得故土难离、亲情爱情、两小无猜和思想双标在哪里、在哪个时代、在不同肤色种族之间都是永恒的话题，可能正是这些定义了我们是什么样的人。2000年以前的时光过的也很慢，伴随大规模拆迁也有不断迁徙的人，就像北京旧城改造前，就像三峡大坝修建前…然而时代的滚滚车轮不会扭过来回头看，回过头来的总是那近乡情更怯的灵魂，为了一切忘却的纪念~
深知爱尔兰文化和历史政治变迁的话，会更明白导演想要传递的情感
7分，举重若轻。如果去除掉显而易见的破绽，六十岁的肯尼思·布拉纳在《贝尔法斯特》中给我们留下了什么。我看到男女在思维上的差别，从父母争执中显现了人为什么需要“家乡”，从Buddy拒绝离开中知道了曾经作为孩子失去了什么。死死抱住加酶洗衣粉的Buddy是儿童该有的样子，它要前去的是《月球环游记》的片场。贝尔法斯特是爱尔兰岛东北沿海拉干河港口，但它有另一个名字“家乡”。
非常personal的一部电影，把混乱动荡的历史大背景和纯真无邪的童年相对比，很像很多名著的风格。优点在于把小孩子的世界描摹得很真实，家里的人都很鲜活，对话让人忍俊不禁，没有这种经历很难写出这样的电影，能感觉到年幼时的导演对周围发生的事的迷茫。导演肯定也是非常爱电影的，Buddy看电影时的那种惊奇一定饱含了导演儿时电影给他带来的震撼和慰藉。黑白的style很像《Roma》，选择黑白片可以说跟题材有很大的出入了，不知道这个艺术选择是想表达什么，是代表回忆吗？另外豆瓣的评分真低啊，在外媒看到这步还是Oscar夺冠热门呢
其实……我真的……很想说……有些国内导演……能拍到这个程度就差不多了……基于此……这片也不很差…（ps感觉科林老叔比梅林里长得好看了！！）
片中父亲提出要举家搬迁到英格兰生活，却遭到母亲坚决反对，反对理由是不想让孩子因为爱尔兰口音被同龄人嘲讽，但实际上是母亲自己不愿离开故乡。作为中国人，这就根本不是个问题。这种情况放在国内，还争什么啊，父母全都去海对岸工作了，留个祖孙相依为命的留守家庭。
不可，肯导的能力也就如此了，尽管私人情绪渲染够足够浓，但是太零碎太刻意的桥段铺垫让整部作品都欠缺了真诚感。老戏骨表现太好了，小演员有灵气。总的来说，比上（罗马、乔乔兔）不足，比下，也没有下让它比吧...给音乐加上一分。
不知道说啥，这节奏感不咋地，也毫无诗意。不过我觉得肯定有一大堆因为黑白就给高分的
能感觉到作为一部私人回忆的作品承载了很多回忆和情感。彩色的电影和剧院是那个年纪最大的快乐。星际迷航和chitty chitty bang bang真的是惊喜彩蛋。很喜欢黑白片的光影，还有一些定格镜头的布局。剧情平淡如水，就像每个人的日常生活。
但是，这种生活碎片采集式的手法确实导致整个影片哪里都涉及一点点但没有一处是深入讨论的。尤其是加上大量的插曲——大部分还是直接以bgm附着与故事之外的——更是冲淡了在那样的背景下应有的迷失感与压抑感。
