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.
器大活好皮靓还能聊人生的sex partner如此难得，不谈性色变不耻于追求高潮的氛围更难得。
PS. 电影看到三分之一处就决定看完要推荐给两个好友，而电影最后Nancy也向她觉得真正有需求的好友推荐了Leo哈哈。
这电影放到中国拍，斯琴高娃和彭于晏演，炸不炸？
近乎令人心碎的诚实，然而性的愉悦不正是建立在此之上吗？
三星半。年长女教师与健硕青年性工作者的四次约会，让两人的关系从性事，转向幸事。前三次约会中的大量对话，一方面从心理层面分析着两人的社会属性成因，另一方面也为第四次约会的情绪变奏做着坚实铺垫。艾玛·汤普森的表演能力太过了得，几个看似不经意的肢体动作，就令影片焕发灵动之感。
当然不是因为电影技法而五星。庆幸在这个年纪看能引起极大共鸣的自己。
女主的尝试是新观念向旧观念的挑战,也是人性的觉醒和胜利。性,欲望,衰老,原生家庭,直面自我，剧本精巧。
安全词的重要性。
直接告诉我到底有多贵吧？要够得着我也一年买个4次！
而有人喜欢手牵手看电视，有人10分钟/一小时
They didn't do 69.
老妇青鸭版《性爱照进现实》。记忆里劝妓女从良是中老男熟客办完事儿之后的爱好，这下性别反转了，只是老年人喜欢教育人罢了，不分男女，还是青鸭比较专业。
坦诚的力量是很大的。所以Nancy在被动又尴尬的场域里一次次问起Leo的私事，也毫不忌惮地说自己的家事，这是她展示肌肉的方式。也因为如此，在Leo坦白自己和母亲决裂的缘由后，Nancy打破了自己最大的恐惧，在自己的学生面前承认了她和Leo的关系。 P. S. 真情实感地代入了Nancy的每一场尴尬……
其实在讲性交易合法化之前我就已经度秒如年了，先不说又是女性面对欲望、接受自己的老一套，光是doi前啰啰嗦嗦半天像上亲子关系修复咨询课程就已经很让我犯困了。整洁私密的酒店房间，高素质女客户，优美高雅的男妓，互相尊重，彼此倾听，性交易合法，一切美好像个梦，可以的，富婆快乐球了解一下？
好温情的对谈，一个女人不断探索，发现和解放自我
观影体验并不差，实际上如同很多评论所描述的一样清新畅快并且享受男主美好的脸庞和肉体。但当影片结束意识到这是两个几乎工整到完美的角色在水晶球里表演体面和愉悦，就只能衬托得它试图谈讨的现实的性与欲望更加残忍丑恶。影片意图是美好的，但呈现是伪善的。
最后两句台词扣分，回归了居高临下的审视角度。感想颇多的一部片。 1080P 22/06/24
open minded。相遇是为了治愈。外求有的时候也是机遇！
这不是一个therapy嘛，当然主要还是对于Nancy来说，我喜欢两个演员，喜欢长篇的对白，喜欢对内心世界的挖掘，喜欢郑重其事地把性讨论开来，也喜欢冲突的设置和结尾的对视。命题并不复杂，剧情设置也不难猜，但是真诚而可爱，我50几岁的时候还能不能直视自己镜中的身体、面对自己内心的欲望呢？男主角不得不说，挑得太好了（我猜我愿意为此倾家荡产？）如果说他拿出和我同款音箱的时候我还只是笑笑，但他开始按摩肩颈的时候，我已经想给他打一个巨大的笑脸feedback了。另外，oh poor Becky!
问：这个世界上做什么最快乐？答：爱。和自己。
