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.
小男孩在墙上砸出了一个方方正正的窟窿？？？
永远看不厌的阿莫多瓦女性话题。佩内洛普·克鲁兹真女神，希望能一直演下去。
1.平行也会错位，母亲未必天然。2.历史的父亲揭露（uncover）湮没的遗存而确认，现实的母亲忍受（bear）失去的痛苦而释怀。3.5
创作上依旧得心应手，但退步到了在情节剧上外挂议题的程度，政治历史元素之外，阿莫多瓦头一次把自己坚持数十年的母题传达得如此直接，阿莫多瓦也从来没有像这部一样如此依赖过演员，哪怕是当年的《回归》也没有。
不完美，但这是所有抱错孩子的故事中最好看的一个了这么说不为过吧
《平行母亲》，乍一看集狗血之大成。出轨男主老婆癌症，女主独自生小孩，和女二孩子错抱，其中一个宝宝还死了。女二的孩子是被同校男生强迫怀上的，父母为了女孩的声誉选择默不作声。女主和女二喜欢上了彼此并同居……可是，竟然也不觉得突兀。阿莫多瓦的电影最可贵处大约就是不评判，不说教并且永怀善意。我们总要撕碎谎言，直面痛苦，迎接新生。影片的色彩真美，而贯穿其中的长枪党屠杀乱葬岗挖掘事件，大约才是导演的真正意图——这部电影是对年轻人叙述的一种方式，他们必须看一看过去。
有点像活埋，中间确实被吓到了，但是设计的太刻意了，总体来说不是很好看。
这是 狸猫换太子？但是她当下在知晓孩子不对找律师和一大堆人打电话的时候 孩子还没死 在洗澡 为啥不去换呢？甚至也没找过医院？而且没看出来跟历史上的长枪党有什么互文的关系，平行故事。。
就这样，一个小故事在这个精巧的万花筒中折射反射，散发着多姿多彩的迷人思绪。
在历史中消失的人不该忘记，掘根之旅被奇情故事打散在一头一尾略显薄弱，但奇情部分依然阿莫多瓦讲起来依然流畅自如且不尴尬，不过不是他最好的作品，整体有些拖沓了。
纽约电影节闭幕，阿莫多瓦带着佩内洛普和新女演员来了，气氛实在太好了，他人也超可爱。影片本身当然还是有阿莫多瓦的基础水准，但在我看来遗憾颇多，很多地方都过于潦草，挖掘遗体这条历史线我相当喜欢：每家每户可能没见过逝去的亲人，但是他们的故事通过记忆与爱都转述下来永不遗忘——和CoCo有点像，但被另一条故事线喧宾夺主太多了。俩女主中间还百合了一会儿有点不明所以啊。
一个调包孩子的俗套故事的背后是西班牙残酷的历史，阿莫多瓦用了种最耐人寻味的手法将母亲的主题和历史相互映射，但又不提供明显的钥匙。片中一个个“缺席的父亲”和不同的母亲形象都有很多值得解读的空间。
两名单身母亲是平行的，一心想要实现挖掘乱葬坑的Janis/Arturo与那些已进入耄耋之年的祖辈亦是平行的，它们来自不同的时空，但前者通过母爱的本能而联结，后者都把事实上早已远去的家庭记忆看作自己生命不可分割的一部分。两个故事本质上都在讲我们和这个世界从一出生开始就建立起的不可逆的情感联系，而所有的放下和向前看，都是对这种联系在某种程度上的复刻。影片用温暖的笔触为我们轻轻剥开每个人（或者狭义上，每位母亲）生命里不得不去面对和克服的宿命，它没有用传统的性别视角去讨论母亲角色，而是反过来尝试用母亲的视角去感知和构建世界，仅凭这一点就已经超越了很多家庭情节剧。
那条政治暗线和两个母亲之间的明线，始终是平行的，没有很好的串联起来，导致看的时候，感情也是割裂的。一般般吧。
阿莫多瓦是个好老头儿 第一次在电影中暴露明显的政治意图 视角也与简单的控诉不一样 始终关注女人自身 不愧是阿莫多瓦！阿莫多瓦真是爱女人！
男主属于拿着攻略打游戏。虽然逃出去但还是不能改变是笨比的事实。最后大串联的时候还蛮爽的，鸡皮疙瘩有起来。
生活的另一种面向，在既定的婚姻规则面前，因为有前辈女性的坚强与努力，所以不会恐惧，而是勇敢地面对自己的生活及种种不确定性。阿尔莫多瓦真是，不动声色，没用什么高超的技巧，反正就是把事儿讲得真诚又得心应手。好几次我们都以为猜到了，没想到一次次的转折让这个我们自以为熟悉的故事框架出现了新的叙事，这就是一种理想情感的可能模型。能让演员演出层次感，真是太厉害了，Ana的反差很大很像当代的小孩16年未成年的话演得是98/99/00的孩子吧，很有时代面貌，阿老头的观察力很可以了。
不是恐怖片 纯纯超级英雄电影 看到最后电影院的人都跟着一起欢呼起来了 没几个吓人的镜头 但是神经一直紧绷 拍的太好了
运用一段超长的母性主题叙事圆上了一个宏大的历史观，母亲作为叙事主体，可以被众多象征性事物替代，譬如国家、土地、所依恋的记忆。其实作为阿莫多瓦，这部作品每个叙事的节点其实都不意外，但相对来说，有些事物的表达似乎并不清楚，将孩子还给亲生母亲而继续忙于寻找记忆的项目，是说明一代人的事要一代代的解决吗？还是说我们宥于现存记忆而忘却共同伤痕是一种不尽善意的选择呢？两条线索平行但交错却显得头重脚轻，适当将更多共同伤痕记忆融入私人情感之中也许是一种更好的选择，或者说ane本身可以成为一个共同伤痕的隐藏承受者，被动接受并且理解历史的做法也许会更加动人。平行的不仅是共同母亲的身份，也平行了历史之间存在的异同，母亲的身份，同样也代表了另一层时空的我们。（最后一段掘尸的视听表达太完美了，共同伤痕，共同经历很动人的
3.5，阿莫多瓦驾轻就熟地将巴洛克元素以及女性视角拼贴起来，《平行母亲》却像是一部Atom Egoyan的影片，红色背景之下的鼠标取代了眼睛的反应镜头，家族的创伤历史在照片，电脑显示屏以及作为媒介的基因检测报告中显现，并随着悬疑的反转转向一个对弗朗哥时代乱葬坑的考察进度及其民族志，地景与历史并未闯入两位女主角拟母女/拟恋人的关系之中，而是将创伤熔入情节剧的时间，关于“倒错”的结构，以及girls‘ talking。通过基因，一个父系之外的树状历史得以建立。
