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.
还有端起酒杯时 或真或假的风流往事。
立意题材明白了，电影的语言手法真是大锅炖，啥都往里加…
有点大杂烩了，加了太多东西进去，曾老说印度这个民族永远不会灭亡，是有道理的。
观影结束后我甚至想站起来鼓掌👏
至少敢拍，能拍，还能放映，超了几条街了吧。如果警方定不了罪，那把他们当场释放咯，看看人民的愤怒是不是能撕了那四个人头。如果不能，这就是没血性的名族，也就不用去辛苦定罪了。还十四年，强奸，谋杀，焚烧毁尸，想想都气。知道为什么权贵帮他们四个人吗，不光是他们帮权贵做事，而且权贵也会追求刺激做出和那四个人一样的事情，所以当然他们轻拿轻放了。还有一开始的时候，上面老头一派胡言，竟然不敢扔鞋子，还谈什么读书人，百无一用
什么时候内地观众审美这么开放了？居然能容得下这样悬浮文艺视角下的中年爱情故事？女权台词这么多也没被冲？全上海话台词也没被喷？这种欧洲风格作者电影明明只有豆瓣er才爱看！江女士评价此片：男女还是他妈不公平。你看徐峥胖得跟猪一样还有片拍，剧情还是三个美女围着他转。你看吴越，倪虹洁和马伊琍一个比一个瘦，腿都跟筷子一样。一看就是为了能有戏拍没少饿着。
这是个操蛋的世界，还好可以从电影里找到希望，看到未来。
印度电影就是每每让我的第一感叹都是怎么这么长！
上海话就听不大懂，全程盯字幕，必然影响观感...我理解导演想表现上海这座城市:全程上海话，弄堂，海派洋房，咖啡店，梧桐，上海菜，为了提现国际化背景中的外国人及毫无意义的外国人房客等等，但过犹不及...
节奏太慢了，法庭对轰开始部分各个角色的描写太不专业了，故事各种转折也很粗糙。
阿三也开始跟进棒子的步伐了，社会出现什么问题，用电影实时反馈给社会
也没多复杂的剧情 东绕西绕扯了将近三个小时 实在有点受不了。
又当又立的易高潮体质
“因为你的沉默就是他们的通行权”看前面就想道我们的唐山事件，面对不公总有人选择站出来
对于一部题材如此大尺度的电影，你不得不感慨，虽然印度穷乱，但是印度的电影却一直在往新的高度挑战。
阿三哥都开始反思自己的民主制度了。看短评好多脑瘫都在这电影面前自卑自己的制度了。也是，所谓民主西方世界，也就有一些好电影充门面了。
剧情是很不错的，后半部分的翻转，挺让人意外的。但印度式的全程bgm和慢动作，硬要表现出正义凛然的画面 实在太腻了。后面一直再快进，近3个小时的电影完全可以缩短到一个半小时。政治的黑暗，所有人都是棋子罢了，正义，几乎不存在
反转来得出人意料，却又在情理之中，期待下部
和《杰伊·比姆》成为双生花，道理和讽刺再多，你有勇气付诸实践吗？
电影给了社会重重的抨击，最后的反转也是很精彩，不过如此长的电影，中间的铺垫细节（虽然每个都很残忍）却有点像蜻蜓点水了。不是在说这些不应该批判，只是做为电影个人感觉可能太泛
