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.
极简风的宫殿以及打光有着十分强烈的舞台剧色彩，而对于声音的运用(放大的血滴于地上与脚步声相呼应等等)，三姐妹恍若分裂人格的展现手法以及面具意象则充分发挥了电影画面的优势。黑白色调更是赋予这个故事应有的沉郁感。
虽然但是有什么必要来又看一遍麦克白的故事啊
#Alfie 太好看了太好看了。除了极具德国表现主义风格的舞台剧布景，这个版本更注重女巫的预言力量。麦克白杀人前后的自我挣扎，尝过罪恶之后的无尽堕落和痛苦折磨，丹泽尔演得太好了。麦克道夫家的屠杀就是故事中的永久高潮。结局还是波兰斯基版本的更残暴更有力量。
至于画面、故事、美术那差的更加不是一星半点。
在大荧幕看4:3的黑白电影，十分魔幻。全片简直像把舞台剧拍成电影，摄影很美，黑与白之间的层次感把握得好，构图出彩。然而对白基本上没听懂，文言文一样，完全没想到这么艰涩。
我就是为了摄影才看它的，黑白的层次真丰富啊。故事也没有太大的改动。
科恩重演莎翁，在多版本的《麦克白》改编中，能否排得到前列恐怕还是打个问号。但是影片在风格化和形式感上确实做得十分出彩，精美的黑白影调干净、简洁、漂亮，渐进地模糊了戏剧与电影的界限，视觉享受直接拉满。
对我来说只是科普了一下世界文学。 摄影美学，光影，都一流。
建筑设计很有意思，新古典主义美学在光影中被推向极致。行善只需要跟随内心的声音即可，而作恶却需要很强大。
镜头语言和转场极佳，演技饱满，背景音和极简的布置给冲突带来很强的张力。可惜本科读文学时没有专门选读这部戏，在电影院看没字幕有点生涩难懂🥲
那三女巫是咕噜吧！极简布景确实有点好看。但实际上也没啥“新东西”（我也并不求啥新东西）演技是挺不错的
p.s.好的，我们已经看过了黑人演的麦克白，估计不久的将来我们也可以看到黑人演的维纳斯，默罕默德二世，明治天皇和林肯。不知道将来有没有希望看到黑人演的希特勒，白人演的马丁·路德·金，以及同性恋演的耶稣和跨性别者演的J·K·罗琳。
如果只是把莎翁的剧本一板一眼影像化而没有呈现什么新的东西，那这样的电影又有什么看的必要呢，唯有享受台词以及两位主角的表演了吧。7/10
{★★★} 因为我不懂莎士比亚，所以这部电影对我而言是一则经典的Intellectual vs. Visceral范本：两种审美价值在窄小逼仄的画幅内冲撞博弈，一边是字字珠玑的海量文本、另一边是表现主义的张牙舞爪。二维抽象的舞台剧风格确实为观众转移了一些被繁冗的台词捆绑的注意力，但到头来仍没做到尽兴。只是别因为我的话就不去看它，今年的冲奥份额未必都有它的胆识、知识和古典血统。
1.看到大家都听不太懂台词我就放心了 2. 继法兰西特派之后又一部想朗诵并背诵全部台词的电影 3. 看到麦克白是个黑人就知道又要有人拿这个说事儿 4. 演员的独白部分太棒了，麦克白和夫人，女巫，甚至那个疯疯癫癫的门房，功底可见一斑啊 5.我对麦克白夫人那套王后的裙子很感兴趣啊 6.如果没有音乐和舞台剧感的处理，这部电影算什么？|我想看这部电影 2021-09-29
真的一点都没看懂…..没看过原著真的不用看了
3.光比控制极佳，对于意象性的形式辅助完全拉满。
电影还是舞台剧 我分不清 全程靠台词堆积 没看到华盛顿的表现力
and then is heard no more。
莎士比亚的话剧对白 配上乔治德基里科似的画面，体验非常奇妙
