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.
什么什么都好但是索然无所的那种莫名其妙的感觉....
马戏团那一小时太过冗长了，要不是为了等到大魔王根本看不下去。进城之后的节奏一下子就对了，所有的贪婪、被包装成爱情的欲望、对“永不”原则毫不在意的放弃都随着宿命化为乌有。
AMC 没看过老版的，故事节奏很差，导致两个半小时让我觉得过于拖沓，毫无必要；马戏团真没必要着墨这么多，和后面的故事发展有很大的割裂感。其他方面都很好，有点可惜。好莱坞大概真的拍无可拍了，不是炒冷饭就是炒冷饭，还炒不好，食之无味。
成功靠实力，运气，机会，等等等等，很多东西，失败只靠欲壑难填
托罗拍出了一种精致的肮脏，但无趣，也许把故事交给科恩兄弟拍会精彩很多吧。
2.5/5 比较喜欢前半Carnival的部分 虽然拖拉了 但至少发挥了陀螺的风格 后半部分叙事乏味 演员之间又毫无火花😪
陀螺这回好像想事无巨细，面面俱到的把故事呈现出来，可结果就是长的离谱，反而放大了故事的缺点。但服化道还是一如既往的精致，另外鲁妮玛拉很美（*/∇＼*）。
这也太长了，节奏慢，实在看不下去了。58分钟弃剧。
前一个小时以为看到神作了，但是后面似乎找不到一个足够怪力乱神的叙事方式来支撑它诡诞的开头结尾，让中间的部分显得冗长不堪，骗中骗的剧情也过分简单，也没能展现出心灵魔术的奇妙所在，陀螺在剧情片掌控上的空白暴露严重，真正好看的部分又游离于主线之外。这过长的片长，也只是为了一种美学的展示而做了拉长。即使我再说自己是陀螺粉，分也确实给不到五星了，（但我还是好喜欢啊）。
我怎么感觉这要是在中国，这老板真是无敌的好老板，这些员工才全是刁民，呵呵
马戏团的戏难道不应该是个少年来演吗？！如同他所有的片子一样肤浅！
这是一部很任性的影片
失败！！！
这么土的译名是为了劝退观众么，听话，老实被劝退吧！！拿Bradley露点来搞票房，不好好把片子拍好看点
这什么倒霉译名？ 铺陈介乎到位与不到位之间 结尾无惊喜
[B-]你说它差吧，前半段拍的又比较完美。用场景来刻画人物心理和表现人物的心理这两点做的非常好，把马戏团拍得诡异，恐怖来反衬男主的心理。你说它好吧，后半段的整体剧情太拖沓了，拖了半天后面也并不怎么精彩，给人一种冰火两重天的感觉。很催眠，只能说中规中矩，能看就行
完全搞不明白它是怎么打败《倒数时刻》的。陀螺舍弃了故事将重心放在了艺术上，两个半小时废话太多，又是铺垫又是悬念的，挖了一个又一个坑然后告诉你这是个反诈宣传片。看不懂，也不震撼。
资本主义国家的资本家真难当。裁员双倍补偿都不行，员工站在工厂门口示威，毫无办法；关心员工家庭生活，不仅要给员工游手好闲的儿子解决工作，还要带着员工一起抓奸；严厉批评完门卫之后还得屁颠屁颠跑去道歉；好不容易潜规则了个实习生，发现还是世交的女儿。这些在社会主义的资本家面前，根本不是个事。。
前半段实在太过冗长了，以至于煎熬了一半的时间，剧情紧凑起来突然觉得轻快了。
想看的内容勉强出现了，然后就没有然后了。喜看老美自己锁死影视行业，拍的都是什么几把玩意
