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.
整体三星吧，最后结局完全是吊人胃口嘛，警官怎么样了也不知道。爱情吧没拍的那么动人，事件吧也没拍出多少曲折看点，就题材而言实在有些浪费了。
叙事结构可以再紧凑一些，配乐很赞，最后10分钟发现局长秘密要去解救情人时，背景音乐突然转为快板女声伴唱急促实为神来一笔，以及恭喜网飞借此片介入波兰政治。
“我欺骗了所有人”“至少你没有欺骗自己”。
节奏非常快，感觉像看了一部Neo-noir风格的罪案惊悚片。网飞选在这个时候发布，说没有政治考量我是不信的。眼看着波兰右翼越来越疯魔，80年代迫害性少数的风信子行动也改头换面卷土重来，用仇恨围剿LGBT。最近的宪法官司让我分外好奇欧盟接下来会不会开除大波波...
故事讲的完整有逻辑，这么简单的事情，很多电影做不到。
风信子的花语看似是“蓝色忧郁”其实是“伤感悔恨”，其实是“纯洁挚爱”，其实是“燃生命之火，求真实人生”，就像这部电影……
视听语言和cp感都很赞，几处玻璃折射的运用尤其不错；但案件、背景、男主的觉醒与男主男二的爱情，短短不到两个小时，根本不够展开，再加上未婚妻的设定，显得男主爱上男二挺突兀的。结尾说当年的很多档案到现在都还没能解密，想到网上经常吐槽都xxxx年了，日光之下总无新事。
去除掉同性的部分，就是一个情节普通的犯罪电影。愣头青小警察一意孤行深入案件，发现强权政治下的秘密。但正是因为同志情节及其上映的时间，让它有了特殊政治意义。
好久好久好久没看GAY文艺片。想说，这部电影里的80年代破旧社会主义老建筑，好迷人啊。
还不错
爱欲和良知将我们唤醒，但从来不能向最黑色的部分复仇。
你说，人不能什么都怕，尤其是自由，所以我大胆的和黑暗对抗，摆脱束缚，做了一回真正的自己。流弹四射，我送你逃走，无论我能不能追上你，我的心，早已和你一起，获得了自由！
迷惘和道德的模糊邊界上，怦然心動始於悄然之間
中规中矩，结局也emmm。
这样真实的历史事件真的是悲哀，只因为性取向就剥夺别人正常生活的权利，乃至于生存的权利，太费解太没有人性了。我只为生活在那个时代的人们感到悲哀，也为没生活在那个时代的自己感到幸运，不过历史就是由前人的错误来驱动转动的，不忘历史。男二标准美人了，且又衷心。男主的心态变换有些不明不白，怎么就弯了爱上男二了，描述的不明白。包含的东西还是挺多的，隐晦的多，不太能看懂。
老亨利闪电般拔枪屈膝射击的姿势太正点了！！！
我比较担心的是较强的戏剧性会否削弱对真实历史的反思力度呢（上世纪80年代，数千同性恋受到波兰安全局的扣押监控，同时，波兰安全局设立了11000多个所谓粉红档案，利用相关档案勒索及压迫同性人群，至今大部分档案仍未被解除。）
结局“我会去找你的”两个人不再有隔阂了。
枭雄迟暮隐身形
中规中矩，结局也emmm。
