      Isn't life exciting just because of the unknown, uncontrollable and no regrets?

      This movie is not a true story change, it can only be said that it borrowed the phenomenon at that time. But I really didn't expect that there would be that era, how many people were imprisoned in a small world like this all their lives, and they couldn't see the mountains, the sea, and the crowds.

      In the end, the movie is a happy ending. The parents did not tell him the truth in order to protect the child. Although the male protagonist has been deceived for many years and missed a lot...

      NO REGRETS

      Jimmy was born without immunity and could only live in the little world his mother had set up for him.
      In this bubble, there will always be only one kind of magazine and one TV series, and of course, there are mother's love cookies, mother's Chunchun teaching, and mother's endless (transition?) care.
        
      This boy who grew up in the smell of disinfectant has messy hair, his face is a little pale because he has been staying at home for many years, and his puppy-edged eyes are...

      After all, the bubbles embrace each other in constant love

      Beijing TV used to have a column "HP (Lenovo) Universal Pictures". Every Sunday, 2 or 3 of the latest movies would be edited and played in about ten minutes. It was such a chance that I knew about this movie— — but didn’t see it for the first time until today, 13 years later.

      Although the child with a deficient immune system is a sad story in reality, as a romantic light comedy, this film is even more exciting than what I remembered at the beginning. There are many bright spots that...

      to get married

      This is part of the movie rather silly
      story of a bunch of bubble boy miscellaneous people around Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jimmy a no immunity
      is actually quite poor shot

      which just remember a scene
      Jimmy sat listening bubble girl love Chloe excitedly told Jimmy that her boyfriend called her. . .

      (Jimmy) Going to the movies? (Chloe) didn't
      (Jimmy) go fishing? (Chloe) is not
      . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

      (Jimmy) Are you going to get married?...

    Evaluation action

    *In the 1970s, John John Travolta also starred in a similar TV movie "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble", which also described the life of a boy who was born with a lack of immune system . However, that movie was a big one. A tragic scene, John Travolta's performance earned the audience's tears.
    *Some real patients with immune system disorders were outraged by the film, one ten-year-old said: "They say it's a comedy, but we don't think it's...
