this picture must mean a lot to americans...

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2002)

...but nothing much to the rest of us. And since the rest of us are many many more we can't be all that wrong. 'Big' in comparison is like a milestone in the history of film-making. I mean think about it. 'I wish i were BIG!'. Inspiring. Universal. Forrest Gump on the other hand is despite the budget a mediocre film about an entire nation catching their reflection in the mirror. And staying there forever in awe of themselves. Wish to be small again.
