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.
还是印度敢拍，咱们应该也有类似的事件，但绝不会搬到大荧幕上去的。民众、舆论是很容易煽动的，所以咱们的言论管控很严，想让我们知道的我们会知道，不想让我们知道的我们也不会发现。
震撼！！真震撼！！十分震撼！！！一个中国人看印度电影痛哭流涕感慨万千！不到三个小时的电影里包裹的信息量太大了，完全可以拍一个电视剧的量！好几段镜头反复观看！特别是前20分钟那位女学生带着其他同学来到甘地广场抗议，穿插了老师生前的授课真是看得我头皮发麻汗毛直立！前两年我对韩国电影刮目相看，这两年我又对印度电影刮目相看！在中国媒体的报道下印度脏乱差qj大国，但是为什么人家呈现出来的影视作品如此的高质量！再看看近几年国内电影除了抗战片我想起来的依旧是我不是药神！哎！哎！哎！
法庭戏精彩，最后塞进的反转信息过多，显得稍乱，前面可以减少时长，电影就会精炼些。
看完电影久久不能平复，不是说电影带给了我什么样的冲击，而是在想它在我这儿是不是一部好电影。
关于舆论操控我建议看有关《We become what we behold》游戏的视频，会有更深的感悟。
本片我个人最不能
文化要自信，先要放开约束，绑手绑脚怎么自信？绑人的在那喊自信有什么用？
女性安全、种姓问题、民粹暴力，该片虽然看似自揭伤疤，但是主角们仍是些高种姓，敢想敢拍的前提还是高种姓掌握话语权
当人们站在道德的制高点，陷入一边倒的信息茧房，反而更容易被人利用。在当下的舆论环境里，拥有清醒理智的头脑，独立思考，也许比一腔热血的理想主义来的更加重要
这剧本脑洞太可以了。
开头本来以为是一个俗套的故事，直到后面的反转，真的太震撼了！
个人觉得不够四分。开局还不错，大学校长讲话后我以为会是个性别歧视的片子。结果导演想要囊括的问题太多了，没有重点铺的太开，个人觉得比较失败。
一开始就故作紧张的音乐也吸引不了人看下去。
哪有什么真相
很明显，印度上层在积极推动社会革新，最近揭露社会弊端呼吁改变的电影密集上映，又新选出了一位底层女性总统，一切都在加速变化。本片片名敢用印度国歌的名字，可见一斑。
停在律政片最佳 多了些政治批判也还好 但最后还是免不了印度式复仇的套路的俗
最后的15分钟更像是第二部的预告片，又或者有太多需要表达和传递的能量。电影或者一切作品的初心究竟是说什么故事还是怎么说故事？
有时真的是，大部分人就是真理吗，学生民众很多人被利用情感而煽动
反转再反转，结尾有点仓促，律师那条线信息量好大，可以展开拍个续集
至少在电影这个行业，我们现在是被印度这个“拥有13亿人口的大国”远远甩在后边了，望尘莫及。
