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.
虽然他们两个在一起没啥化学反应，但整体温馨就好。
如果在12月上映绝对有机会超越love actually成为最难看的圣诞电影
really surreal and silly but kinda feel we need it
圣诞气氛营造得还不错，一边打破stereotype一边制造出更多的cliché. 看到结尾女主拿着纸板道歉只想说大可不必，love actually真是被碰大瓷了。
不错的chickflick了，Nina老太快了，哎
#打卡圣诞爆米花电影大作战 结尾致敬真爱至上的桥段还是太犯规了! ps.我会选择跟Josh这种特别聊得来又细心体贴的男生做一辈子的好闺蜜诶嘿嘿嘿
感觉各个桥段都比较刻意，比如临近结尾为了欲扬先抑女主角在惊喜订婚派对上的坦白演讲，还有男主角在疗养院的那番关于面对真实自己的话，女主角最开始留下包括当众求婚那里还勉强可以用“她内心里其实喜欢他”来解释，但其他部分，包括描写男主如何如何跟女主很相配的那种细节都因为太过用力显得完全不是细节而是导演在尖叫快看啊快看啊快看他们有多配他好了解她他们才是天生一对……大概就是这种感觉吧。优点是总体来说也没什么硬伤，又是一部平平无奇的圣诞爱情电影罢辽，没什么值得回味的，但看着也挺开心的。（但当众求婚那里女主角前脚说了自己不喜欢被强迫的桥段后脚就被架在火上烤一样的被迫同意求婚，感觉这场景还挺讽刺的……）
放早了，再等一个月最好
离谱，明明是女主被假照骗被catfish为什么还要她道歉？？？
还是有不少脚趾抠地的情节 比如照搬酷memow人设让亚裔老太太饭桌上大开黄腔 这是什么 逆向文化挪用吗
This one was to reflect and to finish our dishonesty and false signals in relationship lies. Do the right thing. Hold up your precious love.
氛围感电影。挺圣诞的但是剧情不能细想，奔现发现网恋对象照骗就应该跑了
还不错，真的还不错呢。典型浪漫轻喜剧，所有爱情片元素，重点是两个不同文化的主角。有趣的圣诞影片。
上一次看Nina，还是吸血鬼日记。时代的眼泪🥲
欧阳的演技挺好的，只是女主看起来太不像会喜欢男主的类型，多少有些不真实。
也是还是不错的 很cozy。网络恋爱不就是找一个很懂自己的人吗？
咋说呢？我还是挺喜欢的这个反正。追求真爱嘛。没有一个坏人的故事。男主欺骗女主用的是照片，但是之后的聊天思考陪伴都是真的啊。而女主骗男二可是totally虚假的爱好。所以是女主求原谅没啥问题。但是男主真的不好看。明明爸爸妈妈哥哥都好看，怎么就男主不好看。
很俗很浅很假很dramatic，毕竟圣诞电影，但算及格吧，主要看下吉米欧阳
面部的衰老挡不牢身材依然可以保持曼妙，网飞可以多一点这个类型的电影～
而我想找回来的是那个一起偷报纸的人
