Can't believe im only now finding out why and how Dustin Hoffman and rain man won 4 oscar's, its now the 3rd of August 2023 ,what a brilliant dad and son .Thanks for uploading these videos. Blessings from Ireland.
He said Barry influenced him more than anyone but we all know the truth. His greatest influence is his dad which is a great man and a great parent. Kim is an exceptional person, and his dad is an exceptional father. I salute him.
being famous... thats one profession he seems to be doing extremely well... and getting grants for being a study object.. the man holds the keys to unlocking more of what our brains are capable of
The interesting part is the Morse code connection. DOT DOT DOT DASH is Morse for the letter "V". "V" is Roman numeral for 5. Beethoven's Fifth symphony sounds like DOT DOT DOT DASH. That requires a bit of knowledge, plus connections that I certainly didn't see. Like most ideas, they are easy once you get them. The trick is thinking of it first.
"they're gonna fortify mexico", "well they have to do something about illegal immigration" "they should legalize immigration" hahahah simple solutions to our countries big problems. Hes a Great man with a great mind!!!!
Kim is gentle, kind, sweet and wonderful. I have a Bachelors of Art in Psychology and am working on getting my Masters and in the years since I finished college I have yet to see anyone like Kim. I don't want to meet him to ask him questions. I want to meet him just because I believe the world lacks people so full of love and obviously Kim is full of love. He is so wonderful. I just love him so much.
lauren daugharty BUT a BEAUTIFUL PERSON !!! I loved how he touched people !!! Look into their eyes !! Told them “You are an Important PRESON “ Genuine LOVE ! He WUZ such an easy book to read ! No care bout your color ! JUST YOU !! I would like for someone to tell him “THeY we’re smarter than him !! 😂😂 Kim would like dat BATTLE !!
I love the way that Kim Peek says his name. By the way, this man could go on any "Who wants to be a millionaire" or Jeopardy and is almost guarenteed to win.
I think he would crush Who Wants to be a Millionaire. But I think he would have had difficulty with Jeopardy! Jeopardy! has directions that must be followed, such as answering in question form and understanding the playful and abstract themes of the categories. I think Kim would have struggled with that.
I have an autistic brother, and he is in no way as dependent on me and my mum as Kim is on his dad. I think that Kim Peeks has every right to show off his talents and make those people who believe that they can laugh at disability think twice. He's a truly amazing man, and it's a shame his talents weren't broadcast before Rain Man was released. He's an awesome man; as is his father.
Why should he need to? If he is happy then what is the problem? Sure life can always be better, but that goes for everyone all the time and as long as the human race keeps on living. Infact, by the looks of it he is more happy than most of us are.
i would honestly love to spend a day with him! besides his EXTRAORDINARY gift, he has such a sweet sense of humor even if he doesnt realize :] he is an amazing man :]
+NotKelbie You have evidence confused with proof. There's plenty of evidence for God. The teleological argument, the moral argument, the Kalam cosmological argument...
Because he's such a unique mind. He processes data so differently than other people. I want to see what kind of answers his output would contain to such questions that have a number of already similar answers between all the people that can think to contemplate them. I don't suspect a concluding answer to the questions. It's just a little experiment I'd like to occur.
Someone should tell the makers of this documentary that Kim Peek did not make the connection of morse code V with Beethoven's 5th. Kim Peek read it in a book. During WW2, the BBC used Beethoven's 5th famous beginning before every radio broadcast because it resembled the morse code for the letter V, which stands for Victory. Victory in WW2. Kim Peek didn't make this connection. He read it in a book. Us regular humans found that connection way back in WW2.
Ever heard of the Indian monk named Swami Vivekananda? He had 18such qualities. His spiritual master told his disciples about it and said that if any human were to have even 1 of these qualities he would be world famous. Sadly monks don't go around showing these skills. But nonetheless its fun to watch savants who do! I absolutely adore Kim Peek !!
IMO, Kim is a great man. Despite what they call his disabilities, he is able to perform in some very accurate shows. I realize that the word show does him injustice, yet it's the best word I can find. I hope that humanity won't forget men like him, because it would be a great loss. Intelligence on his level is very hard to come by.
@jansenescu i think instead of obligation, he was doing it out of his free will. and yes, i think his father is amazing. taking care of his son for 58 years, by his son's side, every side day.
@LucielStarz123 being a nuerology student can you answer this for me please.. how common IS the birth defect agenesis of the corpus callosum? I was dx with it at age 12 from an MRI and also ventriculmegaly. and WHY can't I find a family doctor who understands it??? I too have quite a photographic memory and nearly perfect hearing which I can use to diagnose car problems without a mechanics stethoscope. I'd be happy to share my experiences and digital MRI pics with you.
Kim : Now there's a plan to fortify Mexico. Father : Well they got to do something about illegal immigration. Kim : They'll have to legalize immigration :-D
kim was admirable but his father should be an example for all of us how he took care of his son even tjough hiis wife left him and even though the first doctors they saw told him to insitucionalize him and forget him !
I've always read the encyclopedia and any other reference books, listened to everything in hopes of retaining it, and experience life to improve my knowledge of the subject, and why? Because of Kim Peek.
@@CoolCat123450 Sorry, It sounded ridiculous to me when I read that - like you are a childish. It's just absurd for me to read encyclopedia or sth like that in hope of retaining information ( maybe for public school it isn't so absurd as this institution is absurd itself ). As I said I also sometimes read fragments of some reference materials out of boredom, but mostly I use them in a normal way when I want to check up sth. People are made to remember meaningful, useful, fairly simple information, because remembering sth comes with it cost (like in case of Kim with ability to actually think abstractly - he can basically only recall somehow all of those facts). I admire Kim Peek. He was truly unique. But I don't wish for savant abilities. Im glad that Im normal and healthy. Well, going outside is certainly natural and healthy and improves knowledge of the world. Physical activity is especially important for learning also! Im glad you still replied under a comment you made 10 yrs ago. Cheers!
@@albertpiekarski4569 I was childish then. After dropping out of college and working a few warehouse jobs, I'm left with having a wealth of useless information and doing nothing with it. But we all grow up eventually and that's all that counts to me.
@@CoolCat123450 Nice. Some questions if case you'd like to answer them. What were you studying(cos I see you subscribe to some math channels and Im considering studying math)? Are you from the US? But were you seriously reading some reference materials hoping to become like Keep Peek? What do you do currently?
He'd know every answer before regis would read any of the choices. You have to qualify to go to that show first and he wouldn't get accepted because there's really no challenge for him. It's just he walks in and they would have to hand him the money because they know he'd win it anyways. No challenge what so ever.
Why is it that just because I did not mention Kim Peek's positive abilities, you feel that I am ignorant? Must I say that he has a memory and a knowledge base like no other person to ever walk the planet? Just because I do not include something which has no place in statement does not mean that I am ignorant to it. It's just as bad to blind ourselves of one's disability as an ability, either way you are not seeing everything which is what it seems like you are trying to do.
@jansenescu poor guy? he's looked at with awe by just about everyone that sees him and after rain man came out he was very confident.. dude that guy had a pretty cool life
He only knew what he read in a book. If you want to know that question read it in a book. If there is no book on your question then he wouldn't know the answer to it. But he died in 2009.

My children and I were blessed to have met this man. He was absolutely incredible
"I may be the star but you are the heavens" was said by Dustin Hoffman to Kim. Still beautiful words about a beautiful intellect.
Mr. Fran Peek, thank you for taking such good care of your son! I'm so sorry for your loss.
R.I.P Kim, you were an amazing man and a terible loss
I'll never hear Beethoven's Fifth the same way ever again.
I HAVE A HUGE RESPECT FOR MR FRAN PEEK! THANK YOU FOR GIVING HIM A GOOD LIFE! YOU'RE A GREAT MAN! GOOD BLESS U AND RIP KIM PEEK!!
someone should make a search engine dedicated to this guy and call it "AskKimPeek".
he's brilliant. and he lived out his destiny. rip.
I love Kim so much. He's amazing. Watching every video about him I can find.
"I may be the star, but you are the heavens." What a stunningly beautiful quote.
"That's Tom Cruise's star!"
"Want me to take it home for you?"
"NO!"
Lol

"Think about yourself Barry Morrow errrrrrrr and then he wandered off across the room" hahahahahahahahaha oh I love you Kim Peek Rest in peace.
"they're gonna fortify mexico",
"well they have to do something about illegal immigration"
"they should legalize immigration"

Hes a Great man with a great mind!!!!
Kim Peek is an American epic! I love this guy. Rock on Kimster.

It’s the love of a child paired with the genius of an incredible adult brain. (Hope you finished your masters and PhD by now 😂)
That's his most essential quality: Love!
WOW! I'd love to meet this guy! what a beautiful mind!
lauren daugharty BUT a BEAUTIFUL PERSON !!!
I loved how he touched people !!!
Look into their eyes !!
Told them “You are an Important PRESON “
Genuine LOVE !
He WUZ such an easy book to read ! No care bout your color ! JUST YOU !!
I would like for someone to tell him “THeY we’re smarter than him !! 😂😂
Kim would like dat BATTLE !!
What a wonderful man!
Grateful to see this video!
wow, my dream is to meet this guy, and ask him soo much questions :)
I am facionated about his talent
Grtz
... Despite his disadvantages, he is AWESOME! ...
"Want me to take it home for ya?"
"No!"
Ahh Kim Peek...if only he truly understood how funny he can be!
i love this guy,rest in peace buddy.
Fascinating man!!! G-d bless his parents, they took a good care of him!!! I wonder how are they doing today. I hope that they are OK.
I love the way he laughs
god blessed him with that type of knowledge, thats serious!
I love the way that Kim Peek says his name.

Hoffman said "I may be the star, but you are the heavens"; however, Kim's words use is beautiful.
Rest In Peace Kim.....
From a Fellow Utahan. We willmiss you.
I love his laugh!

You are so darned lucky to be related to him :D
He seems like such a nice guy
Very cool!
i would honestly love to spend a day with him! besides his EXTRAORDINARY gift, he has such a sweet sense of humor even if he doesnt realize :] he is an amazing man :]
extraordinary people!!! R.I.P KIM
we all have the ability to be like him...but we dont take the time to try and expand our minds!
Such a moving film
I felt very sad when l knew he had die. He was a spetial man. Now he rest in peace. I hope I see you later in heaven Kim.
RIP Kim Peek
this was gonna make me cry
hes brilliant ..
so genius ..
Kim Peek died of a fucking heart attack. FUCK FUCK FUCK. This is horrible news. What a cool guy. I miss you Kim.
beautiful mind.
YEAH..THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
Totally agree. I don't think I could have the patience to do what his father has done.
so beautiful makes me want to cry. real shame he died
V for Victory !
i never knew roger ebert was so good at general knowledge
well done.
I want to ask Kim the universal questions we all ask. Why are we here? Is there a god? ect. What would he have said?
+Commenter Commenting well given that there is not evidence of god, if he is thinking logically he would say "i don't know".
+NotKelbie You have evidence confused with proof. There's plenty of evidence for God. The teleological argument, the moral argument, the Kalam cosmological argument...
Why would you ask such a question ?
Because he's such a unique mind. He processes data so differently than other people. I want to see what kind of answers his output would contain to such questions that have a number of already similar answers between all the people that can think to contemplate them. I don't suspect a concluding answer to the questions. It's just a little experiment I'd like to occur.
God bless the greatest man in the whole universe, Kim Peek
R3c0gn1z3d GOD n HIS SON JESUS CHRIST !!
I’m sure Ken n his Dad would agree !!
he is endearing!
rainman is a good movie.
This is amazing. if i was this smart..... i dont even know what 2 say.

This shit is awsome!
Kim : Now there's a plan to fortify Mexico.
Father : Well they got to do something about illegal immigration.
Kim : They'll have to legalize immigration :-D
orangedac But He probably would add !!
With paperwork n Real Documents !!
kim was admirable but his father should be an example for all of us how he took care of his son even tjough hiis wife left him and even though the first doctors they saw told him to insitucionalize him and forget him !
Google was based on this guy...
it would be awesome
such a suit man!!
Couldn't help but picture Ken Block tearing up those streets hahaha.
@ 9:02, Kim: "K-Mart sucks" - lolz
Not just a rain man.
yah definately!

If you did then you would be able to use your left and right in tandem, which means simple tasks would be nigh impossible as it is for Kim.
kim peek is going be at a study in madison wi.
and he chose my school; Thomas Jefferson to show himself out.
im realllly exitedd to see him
That guy on the trolley at the beginning of this part didn't look to excited haha
BrWithFMJ Kim didn’t smile back.
It's wierd how people with Autism or learning disabilities are the most gifted in certain subjects.
Maybe millionaire, but on jeopardy he would have trouble with the buzzer due to his motor skills i think.
Fuck... he passed away in 09.
He'd know every answer before regis would read any of the choices. You have to qualify to go to that show first and he wouldn't get accepted because there's really no challenge for him.

actually he IS his brain
Good thing his parents didn't beat him when he waz little. LOL!
rip kim
09:18 whats the music?
Please tell me.
Thanks in advance!
@jansenescu poor guy? he's looked at with awe by just about everyone that sees him and after rain man came out he was very confident.. dude that guy had a pretty cool life
What is the name of the music at 2:12 ?
he is like the people in those bing comercials
Did he say Arlington, Texas?! omfg that's my hometown lol.
He only knew what he read in a book. If you want to know that question read it in a book. If there is no book on your question then he wouldn't know the answer to it. But he died in 2009.
Don't ever offend such person. They will remember and hate you for life.
no llores por mi Argentina, Rocky Marciano jejejejejeeje ; )
He´s saying they should use his memory to help him with things like the eye moving, wich isnt so far off
Can't watch episode 5 & 3 from Thailand!?!
