DVD Reviews of The Boy in the Plastic Bubble
DVD Review: Rivetting, and sensitive performances!
Summary: 5 Stars
John Travlota gives a rivetting and sensitive performance as Tod Lubitch; a boy forced to live in a plastic insolation chamber due to a deficient, or lack of, immune system. Despite numerous challenges, frustrations and obstacles, Tod Lubitch never gives up and continues to reach for what seems unobtainable, he dazzles would-be taunters with his keen wit and charm, successfully wooes the ever popular girl of his dreams, and helps design a spacesuit to wear that will enable him to leave his "bubble". Without giving too much of the plot away its worth saying that this movie is a collector's item.
I believe that the person who wrote the review on November 23, 2004 misread the review by the person in Atlanta. The person not once states that Tod Lubitch has AIDS or HIV, but expresses concern over how society treats those who are sick; our elderly, young, poor etc. And how health care has quickly become a luxury rather than a privilege. Not one person in our rich Nation should go without adequate medical coverage.
Lastly, much can be learned from this movie by those who are open-minded and receptive to it. One of the most important messages it delivers is that with a little kindness, compassion, and acceptance one can overcome just about anything.
Remember, it much easier to judge and hate than it is to love and accept those who seem different.
