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.
各方利益的纠葛，故事大部分都是用台词来推动，这么有趣的题材视觉上太弱了，显得有些无趣甚至枯燥了。
国产恐怖片还会有出头之日吗？演员一个个都是配音更让我出戏！
Cronenberg在后期没有坚持把写实黑帮犯罪片做下去太可惜了。
没有太五毛钱 太口水 过得去吧 但是有点乱 最后就是一个先生讲的故事 罗生门和无间道都有参考吗
逐渐试图想要把故事讲清，从头到尾说散发的那股子f*ing charming的气质足够了。我的痛苦变成了你的快乐，当surgery is reality，所有的恶之趣味变成一场迷人的危险，刺激与感官所调动的是第二意识的脑子的震荡，所见即感官。我身体的痛苦成为他人骚动的渴望，身体机械势能的血液在流动。变异的怪物在独舞，痛苦的大脑被钻空，我的痛感变成新型性爱。折腾与调度，果然第二意识的归属依然是，安乐死。我得到释放了。
一人一个鬼故事，看来妖魔鬼怪并不可怕，最可怖的是人心。
这世上最恐怖的恐怖片难道不就是人心么？编剧抓住了精髓。。
一种奇观。被高概念包裹噱头的是对人本身的探讨，或是”超人/非人“与人本身的区别何在。器官被撕扯成为艺术的展现，是对人本身的自反。
如果想表达进化之类的主创是不是应该去了解一定的生物学知识而不是在这yy。吃塑料有什么可怕先进的？有异食癖可以去治。
有一说一这情节虽然烂，演员演技不是吊打那些流量吗。
概念大于情节，心理扭曲的刺激大于视觉观感的刺激；一场身体痛苦的艺术表演
如果你期望看到恶心、变态的奇行种，那你要失望了。这部电影非但不重口，跟真正重口的B级片比起来反倒有点小清新。
打死我也想不到莫腾森会在柯南伯格片里当一回处女
皆为人为
值得三星半。故事的叙事结构，怪谈氛围营造都处理得不错。探讨人心尽显嘲讽意味。村子的居民白吃着谢家的米不知感恩反而满是罪恶丑脸，善良的孩子长大后尽为自己利益大开杀戒。难道和谐美好的世界只能在梦中相遇，哦，不对，瞎子看不见现实世界的丑恶。
早前吊人胃口的尺度原是过家家级别，对人体改造/演化的讨论更像是份大纲，同理还有贫民窟般极简复古风的置景和各处细节留白，略显突兀的转折，充分折射了老导演思考的冷峻和压抑。三岛由纪夫曾在《太阳与铁》中提出借运动（打造一副健美的肉身）来保持思想和信念的纯粹，本片则是对其观点的反向推论：当身体知觉退化，器官机能的异变成为“衰朽”的同义词。剧场里奇观化的开刀表演，不过是为了掩盖人物安全感的匮乏，以及艺术创作空虚的本质。于是只能拥抱“非人”的宿命，才能重掌行为主权，在这个理性无声陷落的黑暗时空里，找到和大脑突触间那最后一丝感伤又脆弱的连接。
故事不复杂，但是赢在了叙事结构上，非常引人入胜，比起许多国产院线恐怖片的一惊一乍，这个故事显得有诚意多了。多给一星，是来自恐怖片爱好者的鼓励。
4.5，相较大都会与星图，人物状态明显变得正常许多。相对应的则是对议题更直观的呈现与探讨，偶有高强度的手术段落强化观感，因此成为了柯南伯格寓言性较强的作品。90s概念与10s叙述方式的整合。
可以可以，虽然剧情稍稍有些单薄但真的不尬也不打擦边球，罗生门的手法在现在的环境下能把故事圆得很好，配乐特效演技都挺到位的。五星鼓励！
真是惊喜啊，一部网大能拍成这样的水平，属实用心了，要是表演，台词再跟上点，特效和尺度再提升一些，绝对院线级别！
