Character Tic: Kaspar learns to speak, but when he speaks, his cadence is oddly formal and rigid. Even more noticeably, when he talks he presses his thumb and forefinger together and gestures in rhythm with what he's saying. One of the theologians debating God with Kaspar gets irritated by this and tells him to stop. | |

Based on a Great Big Lie: Or more accurately, based on a scam and myth. The real-life Kaspar Hauser is believed to have been a con artist and fraud. This film presents his story as true. | |
