Jim Hopper | Full Story (S1 - S4) | Stranger Things

"Feelings. The truth is for so long I'd forgotten what those were. I've been stuck in that place, in a cave you might say. A deep, dark cave.
James 'Jim' Hopper

After Season 4 I decided to make a music video celebrating the (almost) finale of Hopper's story! I was late to the party watching Stranger Things and as soon as I saw Jim Hopper's character dealing with a parent's worst fear of losing a child, I was hooked.

From watching David Harbour's interviews, he openly talks about method acting, and transforming himself into the character outside of the set to really make his performance authentic. I recall he described filming season 1 as one of the best and yet also the most miserable time of his life, as he isolated himself from the world. He was born to play this role, and how seriously he takes it shows through the screen.

When going through the seasons, these were the three arcs I personally believed he went through. I hope you enjoy it!

(Also Jopper nation, we finally won!)

Notes

Clips of young Hopper were from Harbour's performances in Law and Order.

The photo of young Jim and Joyce together was found online, if you are the original creator let me know!
