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.
UGC发邮件邀请的神秘首映，去看之前连是哪部片都不晓得。印象中很少看这种法国古装电影。
硬核亨利，冷门佳片，很高兴没错过你。片尾曲加分。
电影基于巴尔扎克的小说《幻灭》，每个人物都很真实，讽刺的主题到现在也不过时。纯粹的诗人，艺术家，纯洁的爱情，公正的心灵，在每个时代都是最难守护的东西。电影总统很好，稍微美化了一点点诗人跟贵妇的爱情，没有追随把原著小说里面两人早已显露的对对方的厌烦。不过不影响观影感受。巴尔札克真的太善于运用语言，在电影中每次直接引用原著都让人对原著再添一份向往之情。
物质能够创造一切，也能够摧毁一切，迷失在财富地位和所谓的才华中，待黄粱梦醒方才知晓何为真，唉！
名著已经忘了，但巴尔扎克，批判现实主义的代表作家，好像是这么背的，哈哈。呈现在大屏幕上真的很绚丽，巴黎，爱一个人就把他送到巴黎去，恨一个人也把他送到巴黎去。不会引进的，真的引进就会删掉很多，没法看。
世间皆主义，纷纷扰扰人惶惶。
巴尔扎克的问题（特色）在于他总是用一双惊讶的眼睛看着周围的一切，广告、报纸、消费大众和现代世界，这些东西在他眼里尚未被祛魅，他太相信自己的眼睛，以致于写出的东西抓住了现实丧失了实质。而且她的眼睛是从贵族视角看新世界的，即便是吕西安的失败也有几分外省青年大展宏图后英雄没落的史诗气息
#听说电影获得凯撒奖就去看一眼结果是我天真了
現時世界往往在200年前定了調子，敬19世紀。

虽然很华丽，但拍得毫无新意，一部小说改编的电影还是需要旁白和对白推进故事的话，那我为什么不去看原作呢？
2022年4月20日观看。没读过原著，但这片子拍的还不错。
四平八稳。看到两女深爱一男就觉得他不配，dbq
让法国人来拍这样足够宏大的名著 做到还原是没什么问题的 但是如果不处理再加上用旁白来推进剧情就很没有说服力 may一切都顺理成章但是一切都点到即止 《85年盛夏》的男主不错的
看完电影倒是对鸭鸣报名字的由来有所领悟，一个感受：要在世俗意义上活得有点尊严，有没有才华不要紧，有没有头脑才是关键，19世纪的法国是这样，现在亦如是。
-作者有风格？那就说他言之无物！
他将停止幻想，他将开始生活，他将找到内心的力量。
与当下互文过于密切，以至于看完有一种恍惚，对历史重复性的幻觉
前半部ascension sociale和肤浅的复仇令人反感，幻灭的下坡路开始后才显出一定深度。男女主演技不行，只能用毫无意义的大尺度裸戏来凑。最后才发现叙事者是Nathan. Marquise d'Espard的演员是个妙人。Lousteau选角也不错，不羁又市侩，大难临头也不忘戏谑。由旁白、画面和巴尔扎克撑起来的电影。关于评论界如何鸡蛋里挑骨头的那段讽刺不错。
