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.
好像比 绿色屠夫 观赏性强一点，但虎头蛇尾。自己猎杀素食者的动物世界平行剪辑还有趣，还是比较暴力血腥变态的
“你这么快就带男人回家了么？”
你们不吃肉是你的自由，麻烦不要来妨碍我们吃肉的自由。(如果结局他们没被抓，我会再多给一星。)
素食者和肉食者有什么区别吗？没有，他们一样虚伪！
在诚挚的反思过后，一切似乎又来的不甚解渴…
Le porc d’Iran 真是笑死我了
精神的剥削比肉体的受难来的更苦一些。不同时空场景的转换和对比。大型PTSD现场。男主给我的感觉非常像麦叔，看评论很多都再说跟原著差太多，可能因为我没有看过原著，所以觉得作为一部完整的影片来说还是蛮不错的。最近看的一本书还有这部电影都提到了《奥德赛》，我决定找时间来看一下。
人们天真地以为，只要维也纳还在跳舞，世界就不会毁灭。他们不知道，原来要将一个人摧毁，可以这般轻而易举，兵不血刃。而人类用了多少年，耗费多少智慧和精力，才建立起来的文明高塔，也同样如此脆弱，不堪一击…
很容易联想到之前看的新鲜，不同的是那个走香艳路线，这个走的搞笑路线，把吃人这种恐怖题材拍的笑死人还蛮带感的。素食者、伊朗肉这些设定也可以细品。
看过之后还是很震撼的，唤起了我之前看过这本书的一些片段。这个电影让我再次看到了对人性的摧残是多么无所不用其极！也让我更加珍惜精神的力量。就像茨威格说的那样：今天的我们，应该矢志不渝地抱有一个信念，那就是，唯精神坚不可摧。（1941）
挺有意思的电影 ，看上去有点血腥却用诙谐的手法去表现。PS：女主很有味道！
法国人的肉蛋奶消费，为什么会影响到巴西热带雨林的存亡？
比较而言，还是更喜欢茨威格原著的叙事结构。
让他被ntr吧，把他逼到那个境地，一个普通人也会动杀心的时候，这样故事就更合理了。
3+，屠夫狩猎素食者，冲突加剧，双方都走向极端，忘乎所以。
小众片子。污名化素食者肯定的。但也没给吃肉开脱吧。
看了开头忽然意识到，万一这个电影影响我吃肉的心情怎么办？放弃了。
血腥搞笑喜剧，把ZZ不正确狂踩了个遍，素食，动物保护，黑人，女权，穆斯林……狂Q黄秋生的《人肉叉烧包》
男主演技出神入化，像是从原著小说走出来的。
另外，很好奇，头是怎么处理的……
