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.
电影拍的一般，但可以大胆选择这样的题材并且把总理也纳进去，说明了别人已经走在了前面。
沉得住气，每一个铺陈的点都有回声，没有刻板形象也没有功能性人物，每一个人都是复杂又弧线完整的。casting也做得好啊，妹妹的养母，近年也是老演“妈妈”类角色，但是一个很高级的妈妈，最难忘是《拒绝再战》里的母亲形象了……桑德拉布洛克不用说，开场那张又丧又拗的脸，可以入备明年最佳女主了吧。
而且印度片能不能短点啊，有事没事130分钟真要了命了～（字面意思…
死刑就能遏制强奸吗？从法律的角度讲，未必，但是强奸这事必须得到重视，女性的地位和权益需要提升和保护，虚构的故事，直戳残酷的现实！
桑婆难得严肃克制。系统性的恶无形杀人后还要剥夺受害人的地位。对伤痛的表达刚刚好。
可悲
桑爪很赞啊，最后那个大力又克制的涌抱太难了。后半段她的几次情绪起伏都给我整哭了，执着地怀着期待，却被内心的痛苦压抑，无能为力的人生好无助啊，还好一切努力都值得，虽然let it go很难，但日子总要继续。结尾哭抽了。当然大神的配乐也有加持。

印度女性开始觉醒了，好棒！特别是nana虽然走进了监狱，但是从下车开始就赢得了女子监狱的尊重
当我们嘲笑印度人是“阿三”的时候，他们已经拍出了很多吸引关注的佳作，就像本片一样，尽管有些刻意，但好在敢于直面现实，而我们一直在拍战狼。
生而为女，实在悲苦。
议题确实切合印度社会实际，当然较为理想主义，现代社会肯定是无法让强奸罪死刑化的，印度这种男权高度集中的国家就更是如此了。
3星，乍看是姐妹情深的故事，但其实反映了老美社会阶层的鄙视链。
试图以极端化的故事题材激起观众的情绪，但印度强奸问题并非一两个决策者所能改变的，未开化的民众，封建的宗教才是这一状况的根源，不从源头解决问题，这样的状况就会一直发生下去
开头和结尾都很好，几处反转也让人很喜欢。但是当中过程太拖了。感觉压缩减少20分钟完全可以更紧凑
邻近结尾处拍得很棒，反转也挺犀利，不错的印度电影。
能铺垫80分钟还不知道到底要干嘛的谜面就像是先看了一集明星大侦探，还好女总理的一句“Emotions can be assets”和对性别刻板印象的反击总算让人觉得来了点劲。而那个关于强奸的谜底则在母亲的一句反问中完全揭晓，后面的紧张甚至和总理面谈的高潮也变成了可预见的补充。对印度社会问题和女性困境的直击，以及对女警察、女总理、女主播和母亲等女性角色的着力没能挽回叙事节奏的失衡。
桑德拉老成了这样，岁月不饶人那，还是男的抗老。请看基努里维斯。
坚决抵制废除死刑
以印度的这个强奸率来说，判处死刑得少三分之一的人吧🤣
