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.
看到片尾的字幕，会对这种作品充满敬意，期待有朝一日我们也可以用电影来改变社会
原来是讲疫情的啊。突然想到，时间过了这么久，我们还没有一部电影真实反应近两年的生活状况，可能以后也不会有。一百年之后如果有人想了解今天发生了什么，只能去看微博辟谣记录。所以野史才是信史啊
电影就是要有一些温度和人文关怀的，这部电影做到了，小变态的演技不用多说，感染力很强，其实更该想想的，是为何人家对疫情的反思与反省可以在影视作品中看到，而我们能看到的只有一些假大空的作品，我们真的抗抑成功了吗？伤痛中的武汉人民真的痊愈了吗？或许有人会说，这跟你有什么关系呢？是啊，跟我有什么关系呢？这才是我们该思考的问题。
最后片尾的自白更是对所有人的叩问：
以小见大，深入浅出。将covid和痴呆症勾连起来，用一位社会loser的应聘撬开被遗忘的、看不见的底层的故事。小人物在大时代动荡下被遗弃被遗忘被牺牲，这才会有"亡命鸳鸯"，才会有那段愤怒的独白。回望被lock down的那些时光，回想曾出现在我们自己土地上的许许多多真实事件，谨记要善良，要宽容，不要互相遗忘。
上海解封了。Is it getting better or just stay the same?
反思的力量远远深刻强大过宣扬，这是我们何以作为个体的人存在于机械般运转的宏大世界上。
211102@ 蛋蛋赞 No one told us. Am I going to be OK?I am so sorry, but no one is coming. Good man, very rare, everywhere.相比某国的电影；万岁！杀手演看护，除了这一点，别的都很好
其实拍的挺一般的，但是却能感觉到真实的崩溃。。
老头半夜发热那段长镜头，让人身临其境的感受到瘟疫发生的残酷和无助，能让所有同类电影汗颜，但是导演好像更想表达孤独患者间的相互怜惜——从海报也看得出来，典型文青式的表达我有点不太接受
大流行来临时，养老院里无助的老人真是太惨了。女主算是好心人，可凭她个人甚至救不了年轻的阿尔茨海默患者，就是初次见面那一杯茶和那晚上的冒险帮忙，两人的connection建立了，然后女主就想让他避免中招死亡，唉！来自中国的PPE，不错！
差不多三星半的样子，结尾有点迷。没有淹没在宏大叙事下而是体现个体悲剧才是电影的魅力所在。
本片对个体在公共突发事件中的努力和无力感刻画的十分真实，一个普通人尽全力去挽救另一个普通人的生命，天亮以后就是下班回家而已，没有高光时刻没有英雄光环，这才是存在于我们身边的日常。
看到Jodie饰演的护工在照顾了一夜的感染新冠病人之后痛哭的时候
演的真好。大事件下小个体的挣扎，制度框架下的个人选择，有对抗也有无奈。抛开疫情，这个故事其实也可以成立。
因为经历过疫情的各种魔幻，各种不同体制对人的管控～自己感受过于深刻，因此难以代入其中。

同样的题材 高下立见…不敢多说 btw我是真见不得Jodie哭
沉重的疫情题材，对于一个有着批判的英国电影传统来说，故事过于单薄。在国家体系陷入崩塌，自救与他救，明显电影虚构的困境相比于现实是如此微乎其微。
