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.
算是一股清流，不同于商业片的清流，看完之后是有内心深处触动的，不一样的感受，创作者对战争的理解挺高明的，战争是人性、信仰集中碰撞的环境，这个故事的碰撞不是那种轰轰烈烈的牺牲和壮烈，而是真实的坚持，真实的抉择，还有真实的恐惧和真实的反馈。
这是一部残酷而极富诗意的电影，残酷是来源于战争本身，而诗意则来自于制作团队绝高的审美。
之前有看到这部电影获得北影节天坛奖 “最佳男主角”团体奖项，当时还想说为什么是团体奖，看完之后理解了，电影没有任何人是绝对主角，甚至都可能记不清大部分人的名字，就像电影想表达的也是无数个小人物面对战争下的真实状态。
这部电影还行吧，时长感觉有点短，音效感觉还不错，情景也还行吧。
没废话，不矫情。
想讲的太多，节奏太快，叙事太乱太流水账了，对不了解这段历史的人确实不太友好。池田屋和卡门意外的配。
可以看出导演和主创团队的审美是真的很绝，影片的质感和画风确实很高级，是战争片的一次大胆创新尝试
——没错，就是冈田准一。
还没有哪一部战争片让我有这么新奇的体验，诗意与现实并存，突出战争的残酷，让“浙西南革命精神”可以很好地走进观众内心。
一股子老式日本武士片强波啦的味道我甚至看笑了，拿刀的架势强过攻击力，冲田总司又被月代头毁掉了，感觉是一部可以当作浪客剑心历史背景的记录片，土方岁三跟个唠唠叨叨的老太太一样从头念到尾。
既让我们看到了战争的残酷，也让我们看懂了浙西南革命精神，同时还让我们欣赏到了一副水墨美景，值得细细品味。
这是我看过的最“美”的战争片，江山壮丽如泼墨，革命精神如烈火！
爱惨了这部电影的画面质感，画风非常高级，在战争题材中绝对是很新颖的一次创新尝试。
小成本、0明星大咖，却拍出了很多大制作都没有的震撼和冲击感，《云霄之上》着实是厉害了
女性视角很出色，切实地感受到了乱世之中女性的那份坚韧，“我是土方岁三的妻子”和最后在雪中等来的是土方的遗体这两幕太催泪
说实话，很失望
恰逢七一单位组织看的，当时实在有点没看懂，后来看了影评明白了，信念的力量
故事里的他们操着各地的方言对话，恰似当年来自五湖四海的红军战士们因为战争而走到了一起。
打戏好看，加一星。豆瓣页面简介里把新选组副局长写成“新仙谷副司令员”，乐死爹了
黑白色调凸显战争的残酷，战争越残酷则显得人性越温暖，对比之下更觉得挺进师精神的可贵之处，致敬英雄，学习挺进师精神！
