What Would They Say

?

The first movie of actor John Travolta, -The Boy on the Plastic Bubble- is an amorous, gentle, love story of childhood. Close to mnemonic encounters (this is explaining in the Russian movie -The Sacrifice-) where Twinkle meets Star, or in the must see music video "Video Killed the Radio Star" (you probably saw it at your uncle's) this boy will tender you. He left this world, this cathedrals for sick people, this "whole nation of sick people", for a ethereal dream: a pure oxygen bubble cell where he can only exists in glass. He meets a "leftie" and they set out a story: she tries to prostitute him and he resists. The -overture-, the jump of the horse over glass, and the first dramatic scene where the doors open from his internal ether world of O, will make -Saturday Night Fever- jump your penis in your pants!
