The film was surprisingly upbeat, & since neither of the real bubble boys who inspired the story had quite yet dropped dead, it was timely in its hopeful content. The real life Ted rarely left his sealed room, but did once attend a Star Trek convention where for once he felt like everyone else, for other young science fiction fans assuming his bubble suit was a way cool astronaut costume. Ted DeVita's & David Vetter's experiences during their brief time in the world weren't conducive to comedy, though no life is completely without humor. The fictional character was born without an immune system, which is more like David Vetter, whose life was even shorter than Ted DeVita's & lent the Travolta film some elements for the early part of this life of a fictional bubble boy. The telefilm was loosely based on the life of Ted DeVita, who at age ten lost his immune system & spent the remaining three years of his life in a sterile enclosed environment.
Travolta was not yet well known 7amp in that decade he was just about as cute as Jake for a later generation. The theme had already had the "serious" treatment as a "disease of the week" telefilm, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976), with John Travolta as Tod Lubitch. Back so few years ago when Jake Gyllenhaal was really not all that well known a young actor, he made one of the greatest horror fantasies of all time, Donnie Darko (2001), immortalizing himself to me from that moment on, & doubtless millions others.Ībout the same time he accepted the lead in Bubble Boy (2001) before knowing what a great film Donnie Darko turned out to be, but it wasn't a bad choice, it shows him cute as the devil with great comic timing.
