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.
看的时候想，啥时冒出来的小俊美帅哥儿，年纪轻轻还要留小胡子儿，看完来看演职表，不得了噢，原来还是编剧和导演，简直是逆天了，前途无量。全片透着一 股轻盈、青春的气息，就像夏天喝上一杯沁凉清爽的类似柠檬汽泡水之类的解暑饮料，连小小的忧伤里都带着丝滑的甜蜜，是，也是只可能是年轻人拍出来的电影，甜到哀伤，用在这里倒一点都不觉得腻味做作，反而很贴切。达妹三十出头，但明显有人妻妈妈的感觉了，西方美女老的确实有点快，要好好保养了噢！喜欢她的自闭症女儿的那个演员，好舒服，哎，这样的小电影小情绪真的蛮适合我的，而且，看似没有剧情的那些有一搭没一搭的台词都写得极好，妙不可言！
明明就是美式玛丽苏狗血片，硬要和青春、成长、歧视搭上关系，实在是低级，以为达科塔约翰逊有转型，结果根本没一点长进，2星半
一位年轻男孩自导自演的第二部作品。
天啦，太好看了吧！让我想起了鲁尼的小说 聊天记录 ，都是青年向成年世界的突围。Andrew真的是那种阳光到耀眼的男生，现实生活中我可能也会忍不住亲他吧！不过看的再上头也要提醒自己，这是第一世界青年的四分之一人生危机！
4/10。前半部分观感还不错，但越到后面越膈应，结尾更是画蛇添足。跳舞这个母题没有与主线结合暂且不说，这个故事到底想表达什么？Domino当婊子立牌坊，反过来说Andrew年轻，这一段感情完全无法触动我。倘若两人最后关系破裂倒还好，和好如初是几个意思？
7.5/10分
对话流电影，自导自演的宝藏导演，直白的讲了一个要爱自己的故事，把时间、金钱、精力、感情都花在自己身上，年轻迷茫的时候，适当的have some fun也无伤大雅，谁能一下子就认清自己呢，其中讲感情的地方又占据绝大多篇幅，如果像这样约好了再也不见面，那一定曾经是相当在乎的人吧。
真是无趣又乏味的电影 浪费时间 非要找优点的话 达科塔约翰逊有熟女的味道了
他们只是短暂地在对方的人生中逗留了一会儿……但男主实在是太温柔了
少年的成长总是伴着无法言说的痛，这样的独立电影每年来一打好不好。
被片名吸引，然后从电影开头起就轻易地陷入，很久没遇到这种看起来毫不费劲的片子了。看完结尾有点说不出的失望。不过Cooper Raiff未来可期。
#SXSW# 一个weety white American boy的故事 难以共情
有种小成本作者电影的絮叨感。Dakota Johnson现在走美艳撩人少妇路线了吗？
其次 这故事蛮不错的诶 有笑有泪感觉暖暖的 居然是男主自导自演
和白男无法共情。达科塔的演技其实也不能算不好，但总觉得她说台词是端着的，彷佛在故意营造一种性感的氛围。
"memories aren't going anywhere", 歌好听
7 温情自然舒服的类型 大家在这里在这一刻相遇了 短暂地相爱了一下 最后又回到各自的轨迹中 达妹举手投足都是风情 卷毛弟弟太可爱了吧
very good parenting，男主的夸奖是典型的白人社交话术，没什么重要剧情，但是对话都很有意思
想要付出 却又要保护自己
没有感到恶心…除了换成男性分娩以外，这种程度的cult已经没啥震撼，唯一那点生出成人的创意早在三池崇史那里见过了，而且比三池玩得差远了，可能就是“恐男”心理这一点还稍微有点意思
