In the depths of my latest battle with existential questions, a fusion of sound and motion emerged, culminating in this piece. The incredible Dennis Hopper delivers a stirring recitation of Kipling's iconic poem "IF" on The Johnny Cash Show in 1970. At 34, Hopper was younger than I am now—a time before his roles in Apocalypse Now, Blue Velvet, and The River's Edge cemented his place in cinematic history. This montage spans four generations, adding a new dimension to Kipling's timeless words.
