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.
概念老土、创作功利、质感粗糙。如果能真的把家庭部分处理得像情景喜剧，可能会稍微好一点。
我吐了，看的人真他么着急 ，那个女的也是真变态 我c
小女孩孵化出自己的黑暗面，挺不错的恐怖片。
故事还是挺新颖的 不过小女孩的演技欠佳 这个狗逼母亲是真的该死
电影真正的重伤大概是没有那种引人入胜的浸入感吧。剧情对成年人吸引不够。
最后母亲亲手杀死自己的“梦想”。我觉得女主“孵化”出来的另一个“自己”才是她内心真正的自己，杀死自由自在不受约束的邻居小女孩和她的狗；母亲的外遇“野种”；及最后对母亲的反抗。
貌合神离的家庭，想要取悦母亲的女儿，顺从你本心的怪物，纯良的本性被杀死替代，谁说最后不是皆大欢喜呢。
剧情确实有很多很现实的金句，
挺有意思的，小女孩演技不错，只不过本来以为是恐怖片走向，临了倒有了点非超自然的味道
郑渊洁童话拍成电影就没有其他人什么事了，童年的梦想。。。尤其后期那些，生化保姆病毒集中营 之类
前边明明还不错 除了反刍有点让人难以接受之外 整个家庭氛围还挺压抑窒息的 角色人设不错 画面也很精致
感觉有点高开低走了......然后小女孩演技差了点
用孵化怪鸟代表了女孩受到剥夺她自由和喜好的强势母亲管制后分裂出的邪恶人格。女孩被杀死，善良人格死去，邪恶人格仍在，预备弑母。
好喜欢这几个孩子的选角，太符合中国审美了！孩子们演的也都超好的～做为儿童片大人看也不觉得情节低幼，最后我和崽都看哭了谁能信？！！
北欧盛产荒诞暗黑电影， 小女孩颜值和演技在线。奇幻恐怖寓言，最终鸠占鹊巢，题材挺新颖的～
挺失望的，感觉改编的很奇怪，真人出演也是很硬拗
嗯﹉那个爱告状的女生，李小曼，长相和形象和我自己现实里的一位女同学非常像，代入感太强了。

有些片段足够恶心，很有水平
现场的小朋友看的很投入，跟着片中角色“哇哇”大哭！
