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.
小孩子们纯真的友谊实在令人感动。
最美的修女，最天真的孩子们，如果有选择，谁又愿意当坏人的平民。
最后小女孩是真的回到了家还是妈妈的幻想呢……
只有最后的10分钟是精彩的，前面所有的线索集中到一起助小男孩反杀真的有被爽到，至于中间就比较单薄无聊。看完此片后陷入深深的焦虑，对于动手能力和智慧都为0的我来说如果被绑架是别想逃出去了
有点浪费一个好题材。拍的不聚焦导致了没有一个主角，每个演员都各司其职完成了表演但彼此没有什么融合，也没有凝聚到某一两个人身上，散而杂乱。甚至到最后有几个人物都没有交代到底怎么样了。
孩子改变恶人的电影不要太多，人物和故事稍显生硬，拼凑之感。
被推送到的电影。
『6.0 黑色儿童教育片，面具设计的挺好，感觉不同的样式不同的人格？但戏也太少了没分裂里一美那种演技时刻可惜 』
那两个英国飞行员太惨了，开始误射新娘的出租车，杀死4个丹麦平民，最后因为飞机失事撞上学校，导致其他两组飞机错认目标继续轰炸，又炸死无数学生修女！话说那个时候导航员看地图也能搞错吗？
可是啊，很多和平就是一次又一次的战争换来的，凝视战争凝视死亡，最后没有胜利者，松散但最后的部分把视线拉回，我们如何讨论正义。。。
看到一半意识到我好像知道黑色电话这个故事，但怎么也想不起来在哪看的。整个故事看着就像鸡皮疙瘩那个系列的儿童小说，甚至还没有鸡皮疙瘩那么有悬念和惊悚效果。不开倍速实在看不下去，惊悚和恐怖效果都太弱了，故事太直白，坏人毫无角色刻画（伊桑霍克跟这个导演是绑定了吗这种角色也接），唯一的优点是结尾还可以
隐约地觉得像沙马兰的《分裂》，但恰好相反这部的反派塑造有些肤浅薄弱单一。
爆炸前那几秒真让人绝望。
片尾的长镜头使人能够想到小女孩喝粥的宿命结尾。
核心是青少年的成长，但真的太无聊了！可惜了伊桑霍克，这都要的啥啊～
果然孩子们还是善良，是我在凶手睡着的时候就直接扎破他的颈动脉再逃走
黑phone里，那双眼动人（没想到竟然是个（）片，美国电影里的变态实在是，过于礼貌了
很多細節的設定都很不錯，但整個敘事過於破碎
战争是为了满足个别的的贪婪，受苦的永远是人民。
这一个多月以来才意识到我们生在和平岁月这代人对战争态度的傲慢和天真。不明白点对点精准打击只是个看上去很美包装后的概念，没见过枪炮，没见过尸体，没见过死亡，没见过应激创伤，没见过销烟后的残垣断壁。可以不了解，但至少别丧失敬畏
