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.
1938年英法德意在慕尼黑讨论捷克的苏台德，捷克只能在会场外等待宰割，而今天俄罗斯与美国欧盟欧安讨论乌克兰问题，乌克兰都无法坐到谈判桌上，历史多么的相似。
不得不说，后世评判起当时的人物来确实有种上帝视角的傲慢，但是作为身处那个时代的领导人，制定前瞻性的战略可太需要全局观和充分的信息了。还有，这几位主角真是too handsome to play historical figures。
张伯伦的功与过通过两个小人物的热血鲁莽的政治行动又被审视了一次
合格分的二战爆米花，就是最后的字幕太屎了，绥靖和战胜纳粹都快吹成因果关系了，减1星。
是这样的，上一次八月君在酒吧碰到可疑的人，他去搭话被爆了蛋蛋还丢了命，所以这次他没有马上出击。你们上班时间怎么可以喝酒。
风烛残年的老人，看得要比年轻气盛的小伙子更远。
片头开始 忍不住想 两次大战怎么会如此密集地发生在这样的地方。这些年轻人如何进入战争 带着信念 不再回来。
合着英国佬还觉得二战的爆发没自己的锅了是吧，张伯伦尽力了，换邱吉尔全杀了是吧
还行。纯纯当练听力了。铁叔和Jannis好帅啊……
我们不能选择我们所处的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。
希特勒是个魔鬼，但是所谓的聪明政客团体依旧无能为力，苟延残喘般说为战争争取了时间，却没有想过更有效阻止战争！没有一片雪花是清白的。
但是真的我靠二战前夕英德cp（友情或是爱情或是大于这两种情感的情感）真的很揪心 一觉醒来还是加上了这一⭐
毕竟大家都知道…希特勒是个神经病，用什么办法，目的都是一样的
execuse me？导演拍这部电影完美诠释啥叫普信没有国界
事後諸葛，洗白傾向十分明顯。但是青年演員真的很棒，只靠演技就能表現出少年成年時不同的差距，恍若真實。面對主動且動機明顯的敵人，一位地退讓避戰幻想就是一種錯誤甚至罪惡！學學邱吉爾吧！！！
“这太重要了……”
Paul并没有准备好牺牲自己。其实很想看看Paul怎么从刚开始的pro Hitler到后期加入secret opposition的过程。
i know it's not the best,but it made me break.
1938年在捷克没有出席的情况下就把苏台德划给了德国，2022俄罗斯美国欧盟在讨论乌克兰的领土问题。硬要给张伯伦妥协找借口，其实马克龙对英国的评价一针见血“英国从来就是个墙头草”。剧情一开始就很抓人，每个人都有自己的立场和观点，执政党反对党军方间谍错综复杂，演员非常棒。
中规中矩的历史片，如果不是剧情过于戏剧化让人出戏，几乎可以算得上很有质感了。对绥靖政策的放在当时历史背景下的解读不错，但是张伯伦试图赢得战备时间就纯粹是小说原著的无力解释了，毕竟德国才是充分利用时间完成战备的那一方。
