The Real Rain Man
Friday September 5th 2008

Fascinating documentary on the "real' Rain Man -- Kim Peek. A man who can read 2 pages at one time (the left eye reads the left page, right eye reads the right page) in 3 seconds (consuming more than 12,000 books) but is unable to button a shirt. The brain is outstandingly complex, beyond what we can imagine. A great story of a loving father and son who was able to overcome his fate as an invalid left to rot in a hospital -- as Kim puts it "My dad and I share the same shadow".
