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.
很舒服的呈现，二号男神仿佛又回到了《她》。略带伤感，平静的，舒缓的，向前。
黑白装逼电影……画面极其讲究的展示了一部啥也不是的内容……无语……
本质上依然是一部孩童电影，整部作品在基于「儿童」视域下对成人关系和未来世界进行哲理性思考，刻意在理性主义和感性意识上有所平衡，在说教的同时也在学会如何温柔。作者将两者进行交叉式的兼容和推进，被填满的是大人与孩子共同的成长空间。表演是具有魔力的，文本作为表演之外的加工表现出更加轻盈的状态，黑白色调更加延伸了情感的转折与递进，因此反衬的是人物内心更加七彩斑斓的世界。不断闪回的病房是兄妹之间的芥蒂，而舅舅与外甥之间反复的采访片段是不断疗愈的过程，纪录片的制作则是将中心思想向四周进行多角度投射，整体上完成了一次较高维度的立体影像。
Those maternal parts get me so easily
7.4 显然不是最佳译名，“心门今始为君开/打开心门向天开/告诉我”比较合适，古典音乐、黑白画面、家庭/儿童类型，但何尝不是对话成人。
全方位舒适的一部电影。和华叔上一部电影截然不同。应该是我2021的最佳电影了。太喜欢了，是一部有分寸，模糊，细腻的片子。
分不清真实的边界在哪，可控的范围在哪，崩溃的握拳时机在哪。就是生活。
除了摄影，「呼朋引伴」的台词是超越其他同类电影的关键。比如图②。事实上，图片上所截取的诗一般哲理的句子，是来自于CLAIRE A NIVOLA 的绘本STAR CHILD。虽然是引用，仍然匠心无比。

没有波澜起伏的情节，克制的黑白画面，城市的光影依然温暖。很多对白，舒缓而充满奇思妙想。采访和生活两条线都很棒。连孩子都知道情绪是需要表达出来的，为什么有那么多真心话，需要对着话筒才能说？
补标（舒舒服服看完的一部：黑白却不沉闷，各自有各自的困境，却都能在鼓起劲儿后的主动交际中渐渐开阔起来；既然孩子们眼中的世界还能神奇又多少含有希望，也许应该暂时闭上眼换个角度去看看～
很简单的电影，特别平淡，特别温柔。舅舅给小朋友读人类来到地球的故事那一段莫名的被感动了。在大的温情框架下渗透了一些零零散散关于人生的思考，温情又不会用力过猛。看到最后才注意到是黑白的。
黑白的，文艺的，缓慢的，浮躁得看不明白的。2022年2月26日@东莞教师村（居家隔离）
很多时候我也缺少了这种宁静
成朋友的眼光中看向自己，成为自己，找回自己
《如果<这个杀手不太冷>里的杀手是个访谈者会怎样》讲的是记述的价值，能看出视听想要营造出一个沉思的感觉，用孩子的叙述来自我安慰自我解脱真是成人世界的惯用技法，当然我们可以用畅想来解放自我，但是用精心写好的只是借孩童之口说出的台词就只是空中楼阁，现实多的是无法挣脱的“在你面前”，影片呈现的成长和解只不过是套着思维公式的自我解释和循环论证
我觉得主要论点是亲密关系使人成长，同时夹杂了太多政治正确的支线论点。
Very beautiful, if only we all had amazing adventures and amazing people like these when we were growing up. There will be so much for you to learn and feel, things you would have never expected to happen:)) also, I miss California and New Orleans so much.
1、比想象里无聊一些，采访孩子的部分更有意思。2、不懂为什么要用黑白，没有被说服。
