Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
极具默片韵味又不乏视觉想象的黑白影像，原味戏剧的舞台感成了风格实验/返祖的完美道场。
全片表演最好的还是（是不是也只有）Frances McDormand。在拍摄方面最好的几处构思都是和女巫、幽灵、“移动的树林”等有关的，灵逸逼人。打不到四星的原因是灵魂人物没撑起来。
黑白冷峻的舞台剧风格，比恐怖片更恐怖。
蓝色背包好看，做爱要戴套，除此之外没别的感觉了。
形式很独特，独特到了对内容没有帮助。台词像是背课文有啥意思。麦克白的老婆不适合演这个角色，像村姑一样
太美了！经久不衰的麦克白，保留莎士比亚剧本精髓的一次改编。“I have no words; my voice is in my sword…”
3.5 Joel Coen并不在乎麦克白，只在乎如何把舞台布景变为电影布景。
啊 fiet长的实在过于精致了！！洋娃娃一样！！
毋庸置疑，丹泽尔华盛顿是好莱坞的演技担当之一，在戏里的表现也相当出彩。电影的色调与构图、舞台化的背景和原生态的台词，让我想起《白蛇传·情》，东西方的故事和表现手法迥然不同，但是对于传统文化的表达，却是异曲同工的。但，影片这样的安排还让我想起了好莱坞的zzzq，麦克黑、棕雪公主、墨人鱼、00黑妹……我的天，非要拿他人的历史文化和自己的传承相结合，有必要吗？
「黑白电影年年有，二〇二一尤其多。」不得不称赞一句，镜头布局可太爱了，戏剧改编也真就很drama。
虽然男主lives with enough shit already，但我还是经常笑的像个神经病，幽默的表达太合笑点了。
看的生肉。整部影片就是把糖喂到观众嘴里了，剧情就很一般噢，不过有戳爷的颜值在，什么无脑的剧情都能hold住。就是他的那个女性朋友似乎有点多余，实在很难理解兼职女中学生和家庭主妇在办公室接吻偷情，当然了，大家都觉得not a big deal.
印度小哥好闷 跟troye没cp感 不如跟姐妹的戏份真情实感
“我厌倦了等待真爱”
其实就科恩的水平，即使单飞也能把这样一出反映命运对人类捉弄的本子拍出新意，毕竟这也是他们曾经常用的主题，但是他不仅没有这么做还拍出了一部华而不实的无聊作品，着实让人失望了。
这种小情侣的甜蜜日常我能看10000集
2021版麦克白(不想数之前有多少版了)，值得一说的大概是这算是科恩兄弟分家之后 科恩哥哥的单飞之作？另外就是极简主义的舞台剧式布景和极佳的黑白摄影，以及值得称道的男女主角的表演。Period.
主cp甜甜甜就不说了，这个剧的副cp算是我这么多年以来最不反感的oe了，大概是因为相信他们一定会遇到一定会重新在一起，只是时间早晚而已
中规中矩的青春成长故事，糖果色调，温馨的亲情友情，还有可爱的戳希文(๑• . •๑)
