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.
911事件导致的连锁反应，人与人在危难之中的互助充分反映了人性光芒，政治立场就不太好评价了，毕竟是美国主旋律舞台剧。
911 20周年纪念， 同名百老汇托尼奖音乐剧电影版，诙谐与感动充斥于歌词与音乐中。。。(*￣︶￣)
下回去纽约 晚上啥也不干 把各种正在上演的百老汇全部撸一遍
真是以小见大的好作品！用纽芬兰小岛上的温情和爱来对抗人类历史上最具毁灭性的恶性事件，非常令人感动！对迫降事件后，社区各个层面的反应刻画得也非常还原。考拉唱得真好！
看过现场，重看官摄还是很激动。记忆全部都回来了。有几个演员是发福了啊😂
这是一部融合太多情感的剧，剧中有911大背景下每个人的焦灼与痛心，更有人与人之间相互依存取暖的温馨与感动。或许人与人之间的相互信任同协互助才是对恐怖主义最好的打击吧。
They say no man's an island, but an island makes a man.
2021上映，刚好在疫情期间，又是“911”20周年，演出这样一幕剧再合适不过。来自不同地方讲着不同语言的人，因为怀有同样的普遍的人类的情感而得以相聚相惜。
19年买了票，20年全部演出取消，21年终于看到，大家都是来自远方，也欢迎远方。
it's all about recovery and salvation. 能够关照到911之后第二天的日子和远离纽约的加拿大小镇 这个视角太绝了 人文关怀就是如此。当初在伦敦没能看到现场版太可惜了 演员们的转场和角色切换就几乎在一秒之间 情绪拿捏得恰到好处 this is the stage energy
人类在遇到遭遇苦恼的另一批人的时候，是会选择善良对待，还是像b站911视频里那些带着仇恨的人一样呢？我选择相信世间的爱，这和圣经的章节一样，希望是能永远不变的。
8.5分 ATC加成0.6分
优秀！怎么做到的又感人又温暖又好笑又启发的。纽芬兰，真是一个好好的地方。
在恐怖主义袭击全球的环境中，来自一个陌生小镇的温情和善良简直让人倍感温馨动容，人性多么糟糕，人性又是多么美好。20年后，在全球矛盾越发冲突的当下，仍在疫情中挣扎的我们同样渴望着这样一抹来自远方的温暖，来自每个人的友好与关怀，尽力给别人带去力量吧。
小舞台，省演员，12人个个分饰多角，营造出人声鼎沸之感。技术上节奏明快，过场如飞，毫不拖泥带水，却一点也不突兀，有非常高水准。故事上就是一报告文学，却让人看得津津有味，灾难之际陌生人似乎更易释放善意，写得足够细腻。当然对于遭受更多苦难与灾难的人群来说显得似乎有些矫情。
簡單來說就是 911大背景下的微觀群像，除了歌頌團結之類的普遍道德之外也不吝著墨於racist gender之類的沖突，其實是挺典的美式主旋律不過真誠得足夠打動人心😭好想去甘德看看
看音乐剧真是双重快乐 萌生了WH疫情音乐剧的奇怪想法
“我是个岛民
太好听了！不过音乐剧还是要看现场的！荧幕上真的差太多
