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".
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
I used to be a failing student in school. I am now in College and have turned my academia life around and must say I find these people awe inspiring and truly great. Our world really can be saved by these geniuses. I may not have been born this way, but I hope to work hard and attain as much greatness as universely possible.
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.
I met Kim and his family when I was a waiter at the Hilton Hotel in the early 90’s in Portland, Oregon. He informed me instantly that my November 1967 birthday fell on a Saturday. He and his family were very sweet. His mom said “look it up, he’s always right”.
I would like to talk Bible ! n Scriptures ! Then sing Rock n Roll w/HIM !! Talk about the Musicians !! PURE SPIRIT !! Genuine LOVE n CONCERN !! Would love to sit in a Church Bible Study !! 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🙏❤️🎶🎶🇨🇱🖖🖖
that is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen and read about. What a truly lovely person. RIP Kim . the world is a better place after your visit.
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.
seeing this, you so much realize its ALL about love... needed to evolve...let others be yourself. That's what i take from seeing this. The parents are the heros, so strong, naturally and brave...
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.
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.
Simply Amazing guy and amazing story... But it giveS all of us a reminder that no matter what kind wealth that we possess, whether it's material or knowledge or professional (career) wealth, nothing is more important than THE WEALTH OF BEING HEALTHY.
i just hope that every now and then people around him tell him they love him, he deserves a lot of it even though he doesnt know how to act when hes told, he knows what it means and deep inside it is the greatest feeling he can feel.. he just doesnt express his feelings on the outside but he is human ;)
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.
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
That mutual love is just incomparable. Heads off to that amazing that and this beautiful personality paired with this amazing brain. I would have loved to see the results of some mathematical problems to find out how much “good will hunting” was in him. Bless them both and may they rest in peace
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.
They are jealous of this man. He's superior to many of us and whatever he holds in that brain of his, grants us further insight in the advancement of knowledge.These videos are heart wrenching when you consider that people would rather perform tests and research him rather than asking of his fine intellect and getting answers that could change lives. What he knows is more interesting than whats "wrong" with him. Can we pass up the chance to know great things?Imagine what he knows!
His father was wonderful too!
5:34 - "Hi sir!" So sad, amazing and hilarious at the same time
+HelenTheWolfy401 do you have a good memory too?
I just came to comment on this haha, I was in tears! 😂 so funny
It was “aye sir” an old english way of saying yes sir.
I think all through out his life, Father God is with him. what a beautiful soul he has and his father. bless them
Goddess
Narrator: Kim seems to soak up everything...
Kim: Poverty.... SUCKS!
Well that just about sums up the knowledge and understanding of the narrator
This guy needs a statue, and by that I mean his dad.
Bless em both.
for real. Love and commitment. Definition of a Father
Both of them deserve a statue.
Any parent needs to make that commitment, before they have children.
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".
Dr: Push towards me
Kim: (leans forward) hi sir
😂 that made me giggle
Hi. You're not pushing though
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.
"You're a good woman."
His dad is the real hero!
R.I.P. Kim Peek
Not only is Kim an amazing person, but his father is also amazing. Single handedly looking after him since 1975. Hats off to him.
You so Tilley 😄
@@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.
Kim was amazing as was the man behind him (his father). What an awesome dad to have such a loving, mind blowing son.
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.
5:38
"hi sir"
Hahaha
Fantastic mind, beautiful person.
gotta get those senior citizens outttt lmfao this guy was the man!!
5:35 the way he was like “ hi sir” made me smile, what a character.
Touching, moving and out of this world. Thank you so much for uploading.
@5:34 oh my gosh is this so sweet and adorable. "Hi sir." I would have just given him a huge hug!!
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
he's not ugly! hes absolutely adorablee! :)
When he started to sing, it actually made me sad to realize this lovely man isn't with us anymore.
The father is so precious ❤
"And another good lady are you."
"Your a good woman."
Why I am...how could you guess?
Kim is a Stud
5:38. Hi sir !
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.
correct
Happy for you! Can I ask how’s she doing?
Such a beautiful mind....

Our world really can be saved by these geniuses. I may not have been born this way, but I hope to work hard and attain as much greatness as universely possible.
It's a matter of pursuing knowledge, understanding and wisdom; not greatness, whatever that is ...
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.
What an amazing glimpse into the power of the mind.
I met Kim and his family when I was a waiter at the Hilton Hotel in the early 90’s in Portland, Oregon. He informed me instantly that my November 1967 birthday fell on a Saturday.
He and his family were very sweet. His mom said “look it up, he’s always right”.
His father's love is just amazing!

that is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen and read about. What a truly lovely person. RIP Kim . the world is a better place after your visit.
ty for the part 1
He visited our school, Price Harris, and it was really amazing and fun!
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.

seeing this, you so much realize its ALL about love...
needed to evolve...let others be yourself.
That's what i take from seeing this.
The parents are the heros, so strong, naturally and brave...
just amazing!
imagine if we all had this ability
Hi. You're not pushing though 🤣
Ive seen this doc a few times over the years and this part always cracks me up
I can't say I'M INSPIRED.
INSPIRED TO DO WHAT?
I'M JUST AMAZED. SPEECHLESS? YOU BET. NOTHING MORE.
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.
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.
hahaha, "Dadd! He's dragging it(the camera) around me!" haha :P cute
"They call me a mega savant"
Idk, is it me or did that line sound really awesome?
The most adorable man who ever lived. The best part is when he used his exceptional charm on the female psychologist evaluating him.
The father or the son?
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.
Why would anyone even dislike this video? Jealousy?
This guy is awesome!
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!
Amazing!
the guy is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have no other words for it MINDBLOWING
kim peek is amazing as is his compassionate father
Kim is amazing and his Dad is nothing short of a bloody hero in my book. What a wonderful father he is. I would very much like to shake his hand.
He is the most incredible person I have ever seen R.I.P Kim
"Gotta get those senior citizens out!" Lol, he's awesome.
Simply Amazing guy and amazing story... But it giveS all of us a reminder that no matter what kind wealth that we possess, whether it's material or knowledge or professional (career) wealth, nothing is more important than THE WEALTH OF BEING HEALTHY.
Kim always said encouraging words to people , what a gifted compassionate soul.
what an wonderful human being!!!
It's cute how much he liked the female doctor... Don't know why. And his father is amaing. :)
i just hope that every now and then people around him tell him they love him, he deserves a lot of it even though he doesnt know how to act when hes told, he knows what it means and deep inside it is the greatest feeling he can feel.. he just doesnt express his feelings on the outside but he is human ;)
I would argue Google has become a digital Kim
the classic music is beautiful
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.
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.
R.I.P Kim Peek and Fran also. What a phenomenal man!!
couldn't have said it better myself. Kim is incredible
I love the music that starts at 2:40...that's a beautiful melody!
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
He was a great guy..
People like he is, are needed in the world.
Notice the expression of pride on Fran's face when looking at Kim
wow! this guy is amazing
He spent the whole test trolling her with chat up lines... 😂 😂
HE IS AWESOME!
I love when he sings
your brain enhances my life dear sir
Poverty...SOCKS!
What an amazing father. two very special people right there
he's not good at physical things, he's good with knowledge and memories
Really savant.! Long life Peek. love you.
his father is a hero!
That mutual love is just incomparable. Heads off to that amazing that and this beautiful personality paired with this amazing brain. I would have loved to see the results of some mathematical problems to find out how much “good will hunting” was in him. Bless them both and may they rest in peace
This man is incredible.
Rest in Peace, lovely Kim Peek!
Kim Peek was the most well known Savant of our time!
omg this guy is amazing
Kim Peek is one of those people who make the human race look not so horrible as it sometimes can be. Thank you for living!
Wow... I don't know what I would have done without you >.>
R.I.P. brother.Your genius will always be remembered.
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.
RIP Kim, thank you for existing.
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. :(
What an incredible man.
They are jealous of this man. He's superior to many of us and whatever he holds in that brain of his, grants us further insight in the advancement of knowledge.These videos are heart wrenching when you consider that people would rather perform tests and research him rather than asking of his fine intellect and getting answers that could change lives. What he knows is more interesting than whats "wrong" with him. Can we pass up the chance to know great things?Imagine what he knows!
this is a miracle to me
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
Rest in Peace KIM PEEK
I really really hope that he's now in a better place! It's one of the rare occasions that i'm wishing for after life
I was wondering that too? Can't understand it. Such a beautiful documentary.
Amazing man, so sad the he passed
8:38 - "YESSSS"
You will be missed and remembered Mr. Peek...
