Family isn’t always who you are biologically related to. Among the first films to explore this truth is Charlie Chaplin’s early classic “The Kid,” his first full-length directorial effort. Jackie Coogan, maybe the earliest Hollywood child star, plays the kid of the title, who is abandoned as a baby by his devastated mother and ends up in the care o...
Vittorio De Sica’s revolutionary neorealist drama redefined film by emphasizing raw authenticity over crafted drama. Its sobering look at life among the poor in Rome post-World War II is engrossing, and it would fall apart if the central dynamic between Lamberto Maggiorani’s destitute Antonio and his son, the sweet-hearted Bruno (Enzo Staiola) ever...
James Dean’s first lead role is perhaps a smidgen less iconic than his tortured bad boy in “Rebel Without a Cause,” but he mines similar gold playing the forgotten black sheep child whose failures to live up to his father’s expectations give him a major chip on the shoulder. Elia Kazan’s swoony melodrama takes John Steinbeck’s epic family drama and...
“The Godfather” is such an outsized classic touchstone of cinema that it’s easy to forget how simple the film really is. At its core, Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film is a story of a father and the son who ends up embodying his mistakes; it just so happens to be that “embodying his mistakes” means “becoming a ruthless mafia head,” in this case. A...
Many probably wonder what it would be like to meet your parents as a peer. “Back to the Future” dramatizes that wistful thought as a stone-cold classic sci-fi comedy, pushing the rebellious Marty Mcfly (Michael J. Fox) back from his time period of 1985 to the ’50s, when his parents were in high school and about to fall in love. His presence disrupt...
Theguy cry film, “Field of Dreams” is about as corny as the field that Kevin Costner mows down to build a baseball diamond in. Still, if you aren’t sobbing when Costner’s tortured son Ray reunites with the ghost of his father (Dwier Brown), you’re a little bit dead inside. Dramatizing Ray’s struggles to process his estranged relationship through a ...
Shakespeare in the Savanna, “The Lion King” distills all of the complex emotional tragedy and despair in the Bard’s magnum opus “Hamlet” to zoom into the lead character’s central arc of avenging and living up to the legacy of his father. Oh, and Hamlet and the king are both talking lions. Disney’s gigantic ’90s hit is obviously a much more family-f...
Before he dramatized his parents’ divorce in 2022’s “The Fabelmans,” Steven Spielberg’s films were often defined by the absenceof father figures: See the single mother raising the kids of “E.T.” or the frosty relationship between the title character and his dad in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” Of all the daddy issue stories Spielberg has ma...
Tim Burton’s last great film, “Big Fish” is a movie all about the gulf between father and son. The film’s central character, Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor as a young man, Albert Finney as an adult) is a chronic liar whose tall tales alienate his more responsible son William (Billy Crudup). When William is forced to take care of his dad as he dies of ...
When “The Tree of Life” first came out, some decried it as pretentious and emotionally empty. But one viewing of the film makes it obvious how wrong that take is. Terrence Malick’s last great film is easily the most sincere and warm film he’s ever made, an exploration of the meaning of life that zeroes in on one troubled man Jack’s childhood memori...

1. Apr. 2015 · 1. The Kid (1921) The great silent comedy star-writer-director Charlie Chaplin eventually became father to ten children but, ironically, hardly knew his own. Chaplin was born into a milleau of performers and the man who may or may not have been his father floated out of both his and his half-brother Sydney’s life very early.
