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.
In my potion of view, this is the best film of 2021. If you're nearly thirty and still in a hard time chasing your dream. This film could give you some inspiration.
删减了将近六分钟，说是有一条LGBT线，但有两个地方我也感觉不连贯，一个是老太儿媳妇得病那里，一个是电影男主演去找那个侍者
老钱们带着历史的积淀始终从容优雅，但也无法躲过历史的滚滚车轮，看似体面的大宅子楼顶用塑料盆接水，死亡悄然降临；默剧时代的红人们害怕有声时代的到来，在银幕前露怯的声音在现实生活里拼命掩饰，转化成肢体与行动上的利剑去伤害更弱小的人们，在最后的大美满里感受到了一丝丝的无聊，但还是为唐家屯所温暖。（托马斯的戏份被删减，所以最后的离开显得如此突兀，2022年审查的忧伤）
于我而言算是这两个月最好的院线电影了，虽然可能情怀分就占了一半。如果说摩登家庭算是美国“亲戚”的话，唐家屯就是我的英国“亲戚”，能知道他们的“近况”，哪怕是干看他们坐着聊天我都能满足。剧情两条线，总的还是些日常琐碎，还没上一部国王来访噱头足，中间还有死去的大表哥突然出现攻击我……而本来上一部电影最后那个托孤就有预感，以为这次会以葬礼开头，没想到编剧把它放在了结尾。另外最后想知道的是，托马斯那条线删了多少，到最后离开庄园的原因都圆不回来了。
It’s the end of an era,as the opening of another.
Tomas出场的几次，连背景音乐都是暧昧，结果最关键的一幕给我整个一剪没。但不管怎样，又是经历了一次唐顿的花开花落。
两小时长度的片子还是觉得节奏很快，塞得满满当当，但瑕不掩瑜，有很多细节动容得恰如其分，一些人类的品质在感慨的时候发现我们都快要流失了，老夫人的刻薄深入我心。
{★★★} 作为上一部电影（却完全不是电视剧）的爱慕者，我几乎在第一时间翻出了这部续集。结果是在承认第一部电影描摹贵族生活之余还勾勒时代云涌前屹立不倒之事物的前提下，我发现这一次只剩下絮絮叨叨的贵族生活。这未必全然是一件坏事，因为Julian Fellowes写作人物与台词的能力在这个时代如若凤毛麟角--但坚持你走下去的不该只有情怀，而我怀疑这个IP到底还能透支多久。
国内删减5分钟
为了去电影院看电影从一堆垃圾中选出来去看的，原谅粗鄙无知的我没有一点触动，电影里的冠冕堂皇和扭捏作态简直要让我窒息了
虽说是新时代到来，传承的精神和两代掌舵人会做的选择是一样的，这可能是我没那么买账的原因。
迷你剧和第一部都没看过，不影响对内容的理解。剧情的安排和设定像流水一样自然铺开，感觉像是英式贵族传统与新兴平民媒介的冲突与融合，庄园的未来发展暗含更多可能。
就是电视剧拍法，故事也是电视剧，除了美丽的衣服和布景外没啥好说的，但是我好感动，大家都很礼貌，每个人都柔和镇定，结局也很正向。不过同性线删掉真是讨厌啊
再看，无论什么剧情，无论什么表演，看的就只有情怀了。
老夫人感叹自己回忆往事仿佛去了另一个星球那段很棒。不由得想象要是现在英国那位老太太走了，这new era会是怎样 。
熟悉的人看着亲切，可是一个个都无法掩藏的变老，唏嘘
其实唐家屯一直伴随着隐约不明显的世界线，但有种奇怪的感觉，好像到今天，岁月才终于在这些我们熟悉的人物脸上留下痕迹。时代落幕总让人唏嘘，哪怕是毫无意外的Ending。
我虽然没看过，倒也还好点，还能看进去
这个电影恍惚间让我觉得自己在玩模拟人生，剧组进入家庭篇。这个故事设定的年代是默片没落，刚进入有声片的阶段，所以除了行外导致的一些笑料外，也有一些早期是如何解决声音问题的看点。
前半剪辑节奏有点凌乱无法入戏，后半渐入佳境
