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.
怎么说呢，翻拍老片进行一定的改动无可厚非，但陀螺处理本片的问题是他扩充的东西太多了，加了很多冗杂的旁支，又把原作里留给观众自行去体会的东西交由角色讲出来，说了那么多却让人感受不到角色行事的推动点在哪里。服化道非常精美，前半段马戏团部分差不多相当于陀螺翻拍了一段[畸形人]，结尾也停在了当初原作无法实现的最佳位置，但整体还是趋于平庸了。两星半
习得魔术用来与亡者通灵，诊疗病患用来窃生者之私。以为是用看穿的戏法告慰生者，却送了他们了断的子弹。佯装满手鲜血的表演解脱活人，却成了封印在甲醇里死婴的标本。试图扭转倒吊人先兆的塔罗，却还是逃不掉成为嗜血怪胎的命运。若能记得老头死前的忠告，就不会相信自己捏造的谎言，在夜路一去不回。
京阿尼戒断症发作了，心思过于莫名细腻的家伙看起来还真是烦人…整体相当混乱，最后又是在干嘛？

我那么喜欢凯特女王和鲁妮玛拉 布莱德利库珀还演得居然很不错 场景服饰也美得不像样，那么多优点了 但是电影实在是太长了 长就长了 还一点不紧凑，对不起我睡着了，一时不知道是怪陀螺拍得不好还是怪自己欣赏能力不足。
永远年轻永远存在主义危机永远靠吸血幼驯染话疗暂缓崩塌——最后还是塌了，这炒冷饭剧情可怜声优还要想办法夸。
还好还好，挺宿命的，但男主
前面鋪墊了許多，但感覺始終摸不著邊際，演到中段後才漸漸切入主題，走向卻勉強又缺乏說服力。
太老套了！都什么年代了，这种故事不带点新解读又何必翻拍呢……这片子甚至过不了Bechdel测试。鲁妮玛拉和大魔王竟然没有互动真是太让人失望了，这简直是卡司诈骗好么◡ ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ┻━┻
差强人意，陀螺终归倾向于童话式的叙事系统，没有复杂的欲望冲动，也不带有真实的罪恶感，至于几位明星演员则更不能使人信服，还是想念《水形物语》的好
送给老铁一句话：追名逐利，欲壑难填，终将，引火烧身，玩火自焚，自作自受，自食其果 ，心灵魔术灵媒马戏怪咖猎奇秀是时代的产物也是永恒的陷阱，昨日设套圈人心，今时梦醒笼中人，聚光灯下万众瞩目，落花散尽无人关心。
沒想到這部竟然是我在戲院重開後的第一部電影。年少時追的番，約了中學同學去追憶青春。太久沒看，大學篇很多人物都沒什麼印象。凜遙的部分好多啊，真的是“游過十八萬尺後 也不會足夠 永遠要你做對手”。真遙黨要哭了，真琴大天使不但做不了對手，連陪練的資格都沒有😢。不過真琴還是在自己的道路穩步向前，病母倍感安慰。但末段兩人在神社，真琴為何走得那麼狼狽？那個預感有那麼難以啟齒嗎？片末好虐，我站了一秒凜遙。😢不再自由的七瀨遙能把自由式游得好嗎？下集什麼時候會上映？
cp乱炖雨露均沾 但这烂逼剧情让我心如止水 一星给我嗑过的cp
cooper的演技、麻辣兔的人设，和这一整部电影，都只能用平庸一词来概括。大魔王满脸就写着三个字：带不动。
美术和氛围感一如既往地好 但或许德托罗想要拍这样的故事 他需要一个克里斯托弗诺兰或乔纳森诺兰来搞编剧

跟同年上映的SOHO区惊魂夜犯了同样的错误，节奏过于快了。剧本可堪称完美，但伏笔在电影中展示的太过明显，到后面就差不多能猜到结局了。很喜欢开头对布莱德利的角色的处理，不需一句话的将人物特质呈现出来。多加一星给结尾曲Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust。
Bradley Cooper演不出young buck了，大家都好苍老
是个男人被自己的薄情和野心拖进Nightmare Alley的故事，情魔就算了吧
Prop design & set design 绝了👏
