Kim Peek - The Real Rain Man [2/5]

Part 1: realrainman.blo...

[@kaikangas1809]

So incredibly touching when the doctor goes into his childhood. "Im sorry i missed your golf game" "He doesn't belong here" Incredibly facinating and touching story. Propably the greatest father, sacrificing his entire life for Kim.

[@stijnbillen4463]

This guy needs a statue, and by that I mean his dad. Bless em both.

[@svamandolin3546]

for real. Love and commitment. Definition of a Father

[@Jotinko]

Both of them deserve a statue.

[@k_h_nobody]

Any parent needs to make that commitment, before they have children.

[@fiddlepants5947]

Narrator: Kim seems to soak up everything... Kim: Poverty.... SUCKS! Well that just about sums up the knowledge and understanding of the narrator

[@rinnywee]

Not only is Kim an amazing person, but his father is also amazing. Single handedly looking after him since 1975. Hats off to him.

[@zadeh79]

You so Tilley 😄

[@rinnywee]

@@zadeh79 I have waited 14 years for someone to comment this on one of my comments. Thank you. I Will Diminish, and Go Into The West, and Remain Galadriel.

[@helenTW]

5:34 - "Hi sir!" So sad, amazing and hilarious at the same time

[@danielsilva-us3zn]

+HelenTheWolfy401 do you have a good memory too?

[@kurzification]

I just came to comment on this haha, I was in tears! 😂 so funny

[@yvmz]

It was “aye sir” an old english way of saying yes sir.

[@catinheels88]

His father was wonderful too!

[@LoneYukon]

His father's love is just amazing!

[@Kingbilly11]

5:35 the way he was like “ hi sir” made me smile, what a character.

[@pink_alligator]

The father is so precious ❤

[@angela1894]

I love the IQ test part, where she'd ask him a question, and he'd give an answer, plus an additional quip, like "........and another good lady are you".

[@jamesmcallister9645]

At 2 years of age memorized 8 chapters of an encyclopedia, mind blowing, i am a born again christain and find this overwhelming as its so hard at times to memorize scriptures. Brilliant video, powerful dad and Son relationship. What a godly dad. Glory to God for these inspirational men.

[@Djabberr]

When he started to sing, it actually made me sad to realize this lovely man isn't with us anymore.

[@Metatron141]

I like the part when he says to the researcher, "you're a good woman" at 8:06 ha ha. Kim is great. I applaud Kim's father for being there with him through the good and bad times. Sir, I take my hat off to you.

[@killthetorment]

this just shows you never think badly of a person never put someone down you never know what they are capable of kim is amazing!

[@talkintan]

"You're a good woman."

[@SydneyHwangRocks]

He visited our school, Price Harris, and it was really amazing and fun!

[@GabrielGabriel-xe9tk]

And in addition to what you've said, the matter is further complicated by the fact that there are millions of others whose substantial "lack" do not become "contributors" to any outstanding advantages.

[@TheGreenCommunity]

5:38. Hi sir !

[@septemberxv]

just amazing! imagine if we all had this ability

[@Cesariono]

"They call me a mega savant" Idk, is it me or did that line sound really awesome?

[@FreeLoader626]

"And another good lady are you." "Your a good woman." Why I am...how could you guess? Kim is a Stud

[@loesjuhb]

It's cute how much he liked the female doctor... Don't know why. And his father is amaing. :)

[@LtStarkiller]

Glad that he was shared with the world. SOCKS!

[@SteveMorrow8859]

There can never be a substitute for this person. The only person in existence to be his rival would be Daniel Tammet. Kim will never be forgotten and probably studied many centuries later by the scientists of that decade.

[@anke8402]

Notice the expression of pride on Fran's face when looking at Kim

[@Pwnableful]

He was a great guy.. People like he is, are needed in the world.

[@rideauosprey]

i wonder how unique was Kim. Obviously rare, but how many "Kims" go not noticed not recognized and are wasting away in our institutions. He bloomed so much as to take on self respect, pride, humour and empathy.

[@monstermash654]

couldn't have said it better myself. Kim is incredible

[@joeytrimble1558]

gotta get those senior citizens outttt lmfao this guy was the man!!

[@gaston24uru]

i agree humility is only something that was thouth to us as an a good thing he speaks his mind without filtering thouth just like a child

[@bulletbelt97]

Poverty...SOCKS!

[@Redthepunkrocker]

He is the most incredible person I have ever seen R.I.P Kim

[@barneyronnie]

Kim Peek was the most well known Savant of our time!

[@mujotomi]

I must say I adore people like Kim's parents who don't "believe" doctors' declarations, and take care of their disadvantaged children, and prove those "well meaning" doctors wrong. Francis Peek proved he was a parent Kim could be proud of.

[@thomaslambert3161]

Such an unbelievably touching thing to hear. What stories they must have. I only hope, I as a man, can be as loving as Kims. Theres no weakness in love

[@M2Shab]

His dad is the real hero! R.I.P. Kim Peek

[@giandoe]

RIP Kim, thank you for existing.

[@howcomeitnotcome]

his father is a hero!

[@eatingfatty]

Rest in peace Kim... rest in peace.

[@DJ_BGO]

@ 08:49 THAT LADY SAYS ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS YET PROFOUND SENTENCES I HAVE EVER HEARD IN ANY DOCUMENTARY I HAVE WATCHED THUSFAR

[@1stindianonthemoon]

5:38 "hi sir" Hahaha Fantastic mind, beautiful person.

[@boredcrab2]

RIP. so dssapointed i never met him.

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

He spent the whole test trolling her with chat up lines... 😂 😂

[@Vegeta379]

Rest in Peace KIM PEEK

[@mbdmurray]

I love the beginning of this part. "Daaaad! He's dragging it around me!" and then gives his characteristic chuckle. I would love to have been able to hang out with Kim

[@janecroft]

Such a sweet, sweet superhuman guy with a superhuman sense of humor as well.

[@blackshirts848]

Dr: Push towards me Kim: (leans forward) hi sir 😂 that made me giggle

[@samueljaworski5737]

Hi. You're not pushing though

[@skateforpeace123]

i can't believe he's gone. i didnt even know! how sad

[@SteveMorrow8859]

Kim was amazing as was the man behind him (his father). What an awesome dad to have such a loving, mind blowing son.

[@thenobleone-3384]

I had low self esteem growing up and I discovered Boxing it builds confidence that saved me. I will be a spokesperson for Autism and give money to fighting this cause

[@NinaNinche]

Wow, he sure liked a good music! :))))) "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" :)

[@xPHINNEYx]

This man is incredible.

[@the4cherriesontop]

I can't say I'M INSPIRED. INSPIRED TO DO WHAT? I'M JUST AMAZED. SPEECHLESS? YOU BET. NOTHING MORE.

[@bubbleboo09]

he's not ugly! hes absolutely adorablee! :)

[@KarlNemetski]

What I find particularly amazing about Kim Peek's phenomenal abilities is that despite his perceived disabilities, he is strikingly adept at making rather funny jokes and being quite skillful at humor. At times, he does not even really seemed disabled. I am most intrigued by this absolute genius extraordinaire.

[@myopic_cyclops]

I'm 3/4 blind with Aspergers, OCD, ADD and seizures. I am watching Kim Peek because even though not everyone should be written off, some people CANNOT be written off. Kim is one of those people. I'm a smart fellow, but Kim is an inspiration. Get off your high horse.

[@mooseroochy]

You cannot be wise untill you know everything; otherwise you cannot know what your actions will cause in the future. So wisdom doesn't exist or is just subjective.

[@babypanda3694]

I think all through out his life, Father God is with him. what a beautiful soul he has and his father. bless them

[@12345698662]

[@hotgirlsarehot]

SAW: I want to play a game. You must answer correctly to be set free. What is 7856 x 6845? SAW: Remember, you will have exactly 5 minu-- Kim: 53774320 SAW: That is incorr--wait a minute.... how'd you do that?! Aw, faaaacck.

[@R3c0gn1z3d]

Kim Peek, the legend.

[@lJUSTwanaCOMMENT]

I would argue Google has become a digital Kim

[@jenwatters562]

These doctors learn from literature that Kim probably already understands better than them lol!

[@gimlisbeardcomb]

Kim was lucky that he had good parents. I'm so happy we learn from people like him now and don't just kill them.

[@bulboflight]

hahaha, "Dadd! He's dragging it(the camera) around me!" haha :P cute

[@thenobleone-3384]

South Asian people are just different I do consider myself part of this community. Culture is what shapes and every culture is different

[@snowlover71]

He taught himself to read before he was 2? Incredible

[@adamu328]

What an amazing partnership. True love. It is sad to think of the people with similar gifts to Kim Peek who wasted their lives in mental institutions.

[@breebw]

5:30 "How hard it was for Kim to follow directions". My daughters kid's must be savants like Kim. They too have no ability to follow directions.

[@nights1900]

The day I watched this documentary first time, Kim Peek died the very next day. I never knew he was ill at that time and in the end of the documentary they tell how his father is worried about dying before his son. From what I understand, Kim fulfilled his father's desire. Rest in Peace Kim. We all love you.

[@ACEshredZ]

What a pure human being. R.I.P. Kim. My little sister is an autistic savant who has recovered fully from her autism but her amazing memory is still there. These people are amazing.

[@__Mr.White__]

correct

[@Yesjfi28]

Happy for you! Can I ask how’s she doing?

[@leonardbyrne76]

this guy kicks ass

[@joeyfoy]

Unfortunatly Kim peek died. In December 2009 he was and is amazing to watch unbelevable stuff

[@ClintonDenoni0]

You aren't amazed!!! When reading books Kim reads the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye in approximately 8 to 10 seconds, all the while, consuming 98% of the information.

[@richis2fast4u]

Goodnight Irene!

[@SantasEvilHelper]

wow! this guy is amazing

[@quitethechallenge8641]

I am pretty sure this guy is banned from Jeopardy...

[@squeezemyparticiple]

Knows nothing about mathematics? No. He just can't reason them out. There's a difference.

[@RMJ1984]

Shame that he died so young, but when you look at it, its probably good that he didn outlive his dad, i dont think anyone else would be able to take proper care of him. parents could definitely learn something from his dad, such amazing dedication to give kim the best life possible. he could easily have put him in a metal hospital and just forgotten about him. That would have been a horrible, good thing that didn happen!.

[@Facks2you]

'poverty sucks!'-- kim peeks you live on in our imagination!

[@n311go]

What an amazing glimpse into the power of the mind.

[@Schoolgirl325]

Can Kim really remember the EXACT words of that terrible neurologist from his infancy, or did his father tell him?

[@helenTW]

Maybe he can, I mean, noone believes me, but I really do remember one moment from my first months. I remember laying in a wooden baby bed and looking at a bright ceiling lamp for a long time, and I remember the voice of my mom whispering me something like "don't look at it, your eyes will get hurt" on a soft voice.

[@orangejoe204]

+Schoolgirl325 Could go either way with him. But more likely his Dad's outrage and his constant proximity to his Dad percolated into his memory very quickly. Honestly, I think it's a good example of why you can't expect caregivers to have a rational opinion. There wasn't even a name for what Kim had until 20 years after they met that neurologist, and he didn't start to display any signs of savantism for another 4 years. Any 100 neurologists would have diagnosed him the same way. His Dad is simply highly sensitive to the idea that his kid should be diagnosed as hopeless. He's clearly not "hopeless", but certainly he was by the standards of the time.

[@danielsilva-us3zn]

+HelenTheWolfy401 you are cute.

[@orangejoe204]

daniel silva Gee, I'm sure she's impressed.

[@iBleedHotSauce]

Such a beautiful mind....

[@schniffylein]

Fran is just an amazing dad,

[@Jaronamooo]

Freak'n Hilarious... He's so hitting on that chick.

[@AWellDoneSteak]

Such an amazing person. I only wish that I knew about him sooner, and that somehow I could have gotten to meet him before he passed away. :(

[@A_Dopamine_Molecule]

That's good to hear, and I hope you're right. I'm pretty well-versed in the field of pharmacology, so I'm hoping to land a well-paid, high-ranking job in the industry. Wish me luck.

[@gewinnste]

Whenever you hear this kind of "inspirational music" you should be sceptical about the content.

[@neXus200xx]

Part 1 is blcked by Stanford university. This is knowledge, and knowledge must be free.

[@fixinmytie]

RIP what a remarkable person, truly inspirational! Is it just me or the music in this sounds like the soundtrack from the movie Crash.. by Paul Haggis... does anyone know who this music is by?

[@sayjaibow]

RIP kim

[@supravsg35]

I wanna see this guy on jeopardy

[@ErikTheCueist]

Jesus, this man is a library on legs!!

[@Figgy]

woah this is scary, if someone knew my birthday without looking anything up i would shit my pants i definetly wouldn't react like that

[@DrAldobaglio]

Hahaha this man is nonstop flirting with the world.

[@blahbiddyblah1]

The most adorable man who ever lived. The best part is when he used his exceptional charm on the female psychologist evaluating him.

[@__Mr.White__]

The father or the son?

[@krystalharwood3123]

that number sequence test...i went to a child psychologist at age 25 for an SSI Disability insurance placement and was given a series of questions just like this...and failed because of my short term memory. i was also asked highly personal questions "Do you cook?" which I don't, but by choice, not my fault. My mother's name was placed on my check because I guess they figured I was retarded. BIG MISTAKE! I graduated high school after 4 years of attending, not 8 years, which is required for special needs students, which I definitely was not!

[@helenTW]

Yeah, they do often misdiagnose children. It's the easy way to get rid of both of them - the healthy and the retarded ones. So cruel :( Every child deserves a happy and fulfilling life!

[@LainXIwakura]

Scott McKenzie - San Fransisco you're quite welcome :D

[@WestliFerZul]

haha u knw wat i'd do? i'll memorize every single werd in my lecture notes on the 1st dae of class n then slack off..haha

[@Fractal_blip]

No, it is merely love.

[@travpark8163]

because he was either reciting one of their "theories/calculations" and found an error, or he was disproving it all together...
