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.
Take nothing for granted.
我們需要這類的電影，雖然在某一節點上屬於挑撥觀眾情緒的視聽手法，但是其電影所呈現的角度確實犀利的，值得人們思考的，也願意去挖掘更多背後的歷史價值的，那其實就是一部好的電影。
我惊讶于萨莎·拜伦·科恩能这么正经
10-18 去年就出了，就收藏了，竟然拖了一年还没看，大概因为觉得是庭审相关的会有些不感兴趣，但是昨天又突然觉得能静下心来看它了，就点开了。讲越战的，最近是把美国的历史捋得越来越清楚了，这场战争真的是从影视剧里认识的，但是也就这两年才看懂了。This is us里按照生日来征兵，教父2结尾里michael自愿参军，去年看的《早安越南》基本绕不开越战。（准备去多看点相关的纪录片和电影了），这里是讲本土民众如何反对战争的，台词紧凑毕竟是索尔金，就还是蛮好看的，有些写的真好。但是人物太多了，有点流水。
3.8/ 最有冲击的剪辑部分在暴乱过程的交叉，历史总有记录，却也总有人掩盖。「全世界都在看」。名单一出，鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。霍夫曼说「给我点时间，我还从未因为我的思想被审判」的时候突然让人觉得魅力四射。BTW：没有出租车的豆瓣，现在搜索出来的V相关信息是「制作V：自由永在」那么，在哪里？
其实一篇民主党檄文未尝不可，一个偏颇的、被编辑的视角也未尝不可，问题在于所有的闪回又都是全知，艾伦·索金有何资格以这种方式自称上帝呢？相比起来还是迈克尔·摩尔更坦诚可爱一些吧！
“审判分为：刑事审判和民事审判 不存在政治审判。” 哎哟喂！脸好疼...

好好改改剧本说不定能拿奥斯卡，剧情不怎么样，但是还是值得五星。
剧本和剪辑确实漂亮。通过庭审过程中的不断闪回，逐步勾勒了和平抗议如何变成了暴力冲突，没有浪费笔墨在还原冲突本身上。
没话说，泪目了，终于等到亲吻了！“我们现在算是交往了吧” “这还用问 当然是啦！” 什么时候还能看到再合体！新兰党好难😭
大胆发言：虽然身处不同文化、阶层和时代的趣味里，但艾伦索金的问题和李炳宪是一样的。
且看且珍惜，工藤新一大号又不知道多少年后才出场呢，真史上最惨男主！（另，新兰永恒。）
一场伟大的战斗，在抗议活动一线，更在法庭上，任何对文明社会有追求的公民都应该一看。
the whole word is watching
不顶不是美国人！THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!
Be rational, be spiritual, be devoted, be strong, be inclusive, be righteous, be a man-- u see, the world is watching!!!
把波澜壮阔的社会大事件装进审判厅狭窄的空间里展开故事，很考验编剧和摄像的调度能力，当然对观影者的法律、民权运动等知识的谂熟程度也是一个大考验。
