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.
为Oscar Issac加一星，实在太有范了
男女主真的很搭，但是转折的真的太硬了，咣甩过来个包袱，很生硬的只为了推动剧情发展，四星～
本来想打三星或者是三星半，但实在是太假了，或是太做作了。欧~

很难再有如施拉德这般的创作者，一生中轮回一般的拍摄同一部电影：于过往伤口的裂隙中，洞悉魂灵流放的准则，但严格的自我鞭笞与暗示践行却仍无法放下赎罪的执念，舍弃掉成为幸福之人的机会，重新撕开疤痕下从未愈合的伤口，以自毁完成受戒，实现神迹的手动圆满。现代社会中精神世界远离宿命信仰的人们无法逃脱的虚无焦虑，成为对黑色电影语汇的超验，奥斯卡·伊萨克与先前《美国舞男》《迷幻人生》《第一归正会》中的男主角们高度重叠，喃喃自语，背负原罪，在自我封闭的冥想炼狱中写下孤独存在的证据，并迎接那亘古不变的布列松式结局——触不到却存在的稀薄的温存。舞男、毒贩、神父和赌徒，不同身份象征却陷入相似的困顿，几十年来，支撑施拉德坚持拍摄这些寓言的又是什么，新好莱坞的伤逝，美利坚的幻灭，他又何尝不是自己笔下镜头下的那些角色呢。
亲的时候没啥感情，还是吵架的时候有感情哈哈哈
我好像浪费了时间看了个什么电影，只记得男主那身紧身衣加棉裤……非常Mugler
就是一部很轻松的恋爱电影，俊男美女，适合闲着的时候无脑看
哈哈哈真的太搞笑了，这对欢喜冤家像极了我和我弟弟
看片名以为会是个决胜21点的故事，实际上还是保罗·施拉德《第一东正会》那种受困过往回忆的主角渴望救赎的路子，所以突破性不太大，赌博在这里不过是暂时逃避痛苦的手段，同时也指代了男主未知的命运，关塔那摩监狱那段的鱼眼变形镜头还挺妙，荒唐与扭曲被呈现了出来，整体还是很克制，有种苦行僧的感觉，伊萨克花白头发造型好评。
拍得煞有介事，但缺乏直指人心的力量。
回想起来很多美国纽约的场景，其实电影并没有在疯狂拍外景，帅哥美女的颜值已经深深刻画在观众眼里。是一次次试探，是一次次被吸引，也是一次次难以抑制的喜欢，还是那个经典爱情片的味道，看着欢喜。再加上圣诞的氛围，婚礼的仪式感，职场的小火花，这样的商业片足以，慰藉孤独与麻木的日常生活。有滋有味多好，因为那个人在你身边，点燃你的火花，对生活对自己，突然清醒。老套路，但是感情依旧，让人买账。好喜欢这种简单的美好的电影。相信还有美好的感情。只有那种绿色能衬托你的眼睛。
拍得煞有介事，但缺乏直指人心的力量。
谁能告诉我，男主让女主站在镜子前的那段，最后女主为啥那么惊讶？get到了啥？
在一部爱情片里面，男女主角居然都令人生厌，唉服了油。
可是个人感觉好像也没有那么欢乐。
不是很对我胃口吧，不太好看的那种老套，人设也都很奇怪，看着看着觉得很难忍于是后半倍数看完的。一个他们这样工作不会效率很低吗，要分很多心思时时关注对方，另一个是我还在猜竞聘结果会怎样原来根本没跟她争，有一点无语。然后我个人没太喜欢傻脸娜系的脸，但是感觉这个类型在那边还蛮火的。
必须承认romantic comedy的男主一旦不那么混蛋就失去了吸引力，也显得女主更神经质了……
很可爱的爱情轻喜剧，男女主身高差好萌，Lucy离开《美少女谎言》后拍电影了，很好很适合她
这样天天对着又男帅女美怎么不可能产生爱情磁场 好几处真撩人
