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.
隐秘的 无法言说的 涌动着
It is hard to love bravely.It is even harder when religion mingling with les love in 1991. It is not too young to make a decision but too young to see the truth.
当你相信的东西明显束缚你的时候为什么还要自欺欺人呢？宗教洗脑太可怕了，就是骗女性牺牲自己的人生去繁衍后代。
节奏把握很好，和黑人小黑这种才是真友谊的感觉。虽然整体莫名看得要把我掰直了，可能和宗教联系的部分就让人略出戏，最后车里戏份车外美景前后呼应，泪目。。。咱加拿大美景确实震撼，是个适合酝酿美好感情的温床。
怎么说的，整个观影过程非常沉浸式地替双方害怕被发现，一看到她俩开始亲密就忍不住想帮她们锁门关窗拉黑幕。从小被洗脑长大，真的很难改变，但是能不能用魔法打败魔法？本be爱好者其实期待女主最后说一句:我已经有女朋友了(。
（果然又是被世俗打败的爱情）
从她们看电影后开始哭哭到结尾，狠狠地代了。
一般般吧 不甜也不刀 很平淡 看完感受就是：远离邪教！！
宗教题材第三部，还不错吧，就是前头进展有些快，怎么就看对眼了，每次约会我都胆战心惊很害怕！厕所那里居然还能忍住！我不信……女主颜值还是在线的，就是特么多年后2人严重掉线……另一个消失的妈妈
主角两位的火花太弱了…而且长得好像will和rose😅
她是高明的猎手，和她一样。
谁遭一次遥远小镇的疯逼邪教徒的爱，谁都得一辈子来回舔……
可恶/勇于做自己吧/很美 演员 画面 暧昧都是/厕所那段 果然女铜才是最怂的
我好想你。
起承转合挺不自然的。但是对这种宗教与同性恋、信仰与爱之间的冲突比较感兴趣。女二后面明显老了很多……
当她父亲在教堂大谈特谈爱是忍耐和包容时，宣布了女儿订婚的“喜讯”，宗教下的多盲目和“虔诚”，只不过是为了自己的目的而美其名曰。两个女孩子的交往和大多数人的经历都差不多，初见的惊鸿，相处的融洽，爱恋从懵懂到每天想你无数遍，悸动的青春，拍的很好啊，只是在宗教背景下，那定是没啥好果子吃，you can live forever，在心底吧。
很美，看哭了。
结局挽尊，二星升三星了！你最好是给我逃了蛤！
这是现在lgbt电影公式化的结局吗？和剧情发展好像两码事，故事加了宗教因素并没有多一重色彩，反而像为了be而存在。
22.7.18 镜头技巧平 故事背景施压 无聊 但是religious play真的很涩
