Some of the most resonant scenes in Moonlight that explore vulnerability and intimacy occur between Chiron and his older male mentor, Juan (Mahershala Ali), who acts as a father figure, in a revalorization of black fatherhood and masculinity — for instance, the moment when Juan gently holds Chiron in the ocean to teach him to swim, and to trust.
Key & Peele, Chappelle's Show, Katt Williams, Chris Rock, Trevor Noah, Richard Pryor, Kevin Hart, Deon Cole, and Tracy Morgan are all on the docket; on Sunday night and as a kind of capper to the whole mini-marathon, the channel's airing Roy Wood Jr.: Father Figure, the first-ever hour-long special from the popular Daily Show correspondent.
I take off the ears, I start taking off the make-up, and by the end of the story I'm showing them pictures of my life—growing up with a single mother and a Dad who died [when I was] 13—and how I ended up living my dreams through the president as the father figure I never had.
Photo by Javari Jackson, courtesy of Rexx Life Raj On the first track of his new album Father Figure, Rexx Life Raj has some kind words for his barista's flat white, and, sure, there's probably an easy joke to make about a rapper from Berkeley, California, making time for an interlude about coffee in his music.
The Hawkins police chief, Jim Hopper (David Harbour), had been leaving a stash of her beloved Eggo waffles in the woods, suggesting that she hadn't gone the way of the almost-certainly dead Barb (Shannon Purser) or the absent Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), the scientist who had acted as her malevolent father figure in the lab.
David can't be himself and Baldwin, the son of a man who made him feel repellent, wasn't entirely himself in this book, either, a book about that which could not be, or at least could not be for Baldwin: the dream of the love of a "real" man, he who also would be, miraculously, a loving father figure.
Khar's voice can take on a certain glibness, prone to simplifying complex situations into a few trite words ("I had struggled with the urge to kill myself — to cut myself out of my own skin — for many years"; her mom's boyfriend is "the father figure I needed, the kind my dad was just not capable of being").
In it, he raps with some of the nimbleness that's been missing in recent years, takes on a beat that necessitates a scattershot flow, retells the story of his arrest in 2007 in New York, and says that he has blocked his former mentor and father-figure Baby's phone number while pledging allegiance to Jay-Z's Roc Nation.
Whether he's investigating human fantasies of robots, the controversy surrounding the burial of Boston Marathon Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, or his own double-life as a gay city-dweller and suburban father-figure, Mendelsohn often looks to the works of Ancient Greece and Rome to not only find answers to modern questions, but to demonstrate that the same questions existed thousands of years ago.
Inspired by an encounter the artist had with an 80-year-old man throwing away a stack of X-rated VHS tapes, this account of a perverted, yet ineffectual father figure, rendered in bright colors and naïve design, could be read as a metaphor for Hong Kong and its precarious, often humiliating relationship with the alluring yet authoritarian power of China.
Which brings us to "The Umbrella Academy," based on the comics series created by Gerard Way (the multitalented artist who was also lead vocalist of My Chemical Romance) and Gabriel Bá. Like "Doom Patrol," which Way has generously cited as an influence, it's about a superpowered band of outsiders assembled by a possibly mad, definitely abrasive genius who doubles as father figure.
Chiron is played by three different actors over the course of the film (Alex R. Hibbert as a young boy, Ashton Sanders as a teen, and Trevante Rhodes as an adult), while the supporting cast includes Oscar nominee Naomie Harris as Chiron's mother — who descends into drug addiction as the film progresses — and Ali a local dealer who becomes a father figure to the young Chiron.
While actor Mahershala Ali has been turning in memorable performances on TV and in film for many years (see: Netflix's House of Cards, HBO's Treme, The Hunger Games franchise), he's generating a lot of attention for two current projects: his role on Marvel's Luke Cage as the quietly powerful Cottonmouth, and his performance as sympathetic father figure/drug dealer Juan in the indie drama Moonlight.
"I took a birthing class, I read Happiest Baby, but the majority of things — whether it was clothing or gear or research or classes — the vast majority focused on the mother," Andrew Bentley, an entrepreneur in D.C. who left a job at Google to stay home with his son and then launched Father Figure, a clothing line tailored to new dads, told Refinery29 in June.
The line between political intrigue and tense family dynamics is a fascinating one, but worryingly, might be overshadowed by a "father figure" for Al. According to Ingold, Al's surrogate father is a bartender who lives in the slums where she grew up, and inspired by Humphrey Bogart's pulpy detective in The Big Sleep, or his washed up hero in To Have and Have Not.
Whose habits she addresses goes unnamed, but how he, or they, harmed her, and how it affected her status as the princess of pop, is clear in the third and fourth stanzas: Britney shows self-awareness and blames "manipulation" as the root of her issue, going on to point out a father figure who did her wrong; an evil dad motif seen throughout the Old Testament.
In each segment, Chiron struggles with his sexual identity while various figures drift in and out of his life: an unexpected father figure in dope dealer Juan (Mahershala Ali); his disturbed, drug-addicted mother (Naomie Harris); his flirtatious pal Kevin (brilliantly played as an adult by André Holland); and an alternative maternal figure, luminously manifested by singer Janelle Monáe in her first major film appearance.
Shunned by her friend, a man whom Susanna Moore, the novelist and one of Ms. Griscom's oldest confidantes, called "a glamorous and worldly father figure with whom one could be a little bit in love," Ms. Griscom found herself ostracized and isolated in the small sphere of New York society where women branded home wreckers are hardly more welcome than they might be in any American suburb.
Mr. Lynn's terrain here is the loving but also fractious rapport over time between the French leader Charles de Gaulle (a sonorous Laurence Fox) and the father figure of sorts that he found in Philippe Pétain (a twinkly Tom Conti), the hero of the Battle of Verdun who went on to be convicted for treason after World War II — hence Mr. Lynn's oxymoron of a title.
We were living in a hippie commune… My grandfather became very much a father figure to me...

Beyond the central foursome, the series also builds out a pretty stunning bench of recurring characters, from Toby Huss as the head of the company Joe hijacks, who becomes an unlikely father figure to Cameron, to the folks who work for the early internet company Cameron and Donna found, to Donna and Gordon's two daughters, who grow up into complicated characters in their own right.
