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.
节奏太慢，看之前以为是赌神+疾速追杀的结合体，看完以后啥也没有，男主牌都没赢就走了，本来就是想看看男主是不是神算子，结果只是装逼子。PS：中间有一段bgm很像怪奇物语片头，我小声说了一句stranger things，听见坐我后面的有人跟了一句stranger things，笑不活了…
赌场构造了一个对于性和金钱极度压抑的红黑空间，而沙发，西装的物象，还有反常的视角和怪异的叫声，让这个片有了《双峰》的味道，故一切念头和动作就有了双峰式的合理，亦可称之不合理。最后长达五分钟，两指隔窗而交的，是红、黑和受到极刑至血肉模糊又再度恢复新生肉体，以罪为界，以爱相连。
stay away from FOCUS company, which is famous of producing profound, meaningful, well acted but ... extremely BORING films!
在赌桌上完成一场又一场的盘算，白天他是精于心计的算牌人。夜晚在漆黑的房间，他坐于桌前剖出最多的秘密。鱼眼镜头里尽是不愿回忆的梦魇，恐怖的画面昭彰着恶魔的来源。
赌场为障眼法，重要的是对两座监狱截然不同的描绘方式，创伤由此展示切口。片尾反在空间隔阂中，用指尖的相连扣了题，精彩。奥斯卡·伊萨克分外迷人。
肉身肌肤上的疮口或许可以随年日慢慢被治愈，但内心里的惊惧忧虑却会一再撕裂，久久不得安心。在睡梦中、在神游中、在散漫的日常生活所有的琐碎当中，一而再再而三地想起从前身困囹圄，心困炼狱的往事。用鱼眼镜头展示出残酷的狱中记忆，如梦似幻，昏昏沉沉，惶惑、迷乱而惊悸。每逢赌场，必有叫喊令人两耳鸣叫的“USA”，暗自嘲讽。这是本片仅有的，乏善可陈的亮点之一二。其余部分实在是索然无味。不知是模仿了谁，是索菲亚·科波拉还是王家卫，风格不成风格，故事不成故事。涉及牌的玩法，想必对于早看过香港电影的人而言，未免显得太过于小儿科了。
ᐈ一个好的牌手能看穿你的想法，无论你是戴上耳塞，穿连帽衫，带上棒球帽，眼镜还是面具，都不能阻挡他看穿你的视线
Oscar Isaac is FINEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
dreaming away your life
La rédemption d’une âme tourmentée.
关塔那莫和拉斯维加斯一次拉郎配组合。讲精于计算的人孤注一掷，作死的历程。一大堆赔率和赌技渲染无非反衬出最后男主非理性的抉择。保罗施奈德似乎擅长这类心执异念，飞蛾扑火的悲剧人物命运设计。
两段扭曲的鱼眼镜头加分，可惜的是后来电影跟德州扑克没啥关系了，我就是来看德扑的啊
形式上的性冷淡感拉的满满的，如同故事的底色般苍白。
诡异迷幻的视觉风格，冰冷的超广角镜头，主角的呢喃，时而出现的呼吸声，一切都是那么的讨人喜欢，只是节奏慢的沉闷了。施拉德笔下的人物都是布满伤疤的，将镜头对准他们的时候就将是他们用得到的伤害去做同等的反击，完成自我的救赎
高开低走，因为配乐和奥斯卡的脸值得一看。三星给鱼眼镜头的噩梦部分，男主角阴影下的脸太迷人了，配乐也可以。爱情线尬到我脚趾抠出巨型陨石坑。而且也没看出算牌和主线有什么联系，其实不算牌，是个谨慎的小偷或者抢劫犯故事都不会受到影响啊！我不理解。
3.5，施拉德似乎在重复同一种主人公，精神创伤的男主角走向自我毁灭的道路…“宗教性”庄重的色调和构图，真是我看过最压抑的公路片了…
保羅許瑞德。Oscar Isaac。好看。
要不是因为Issac 不至于看这片 太催眠了
保罗•施拉德回归“房间里的男人”之作，回归的还有禁欲式的主角，带着伤痕和过去最后实现复仇
很有腔调的一部电影，就即便单独把算牌人的戏份拍出来，没有救赎的戏份都是很酷的，加上以后以及结尾，真的就很累赘了。影片节奏还是偏慢了一点。
