Big (1988) Final Scene

I just see this movie and the final scene is just too powerful.
Usually I find in youtube things that I like to share, but in this case I couldn't find this clip so here it is.

I do not own the rights to this movie.

This scene is just mesmerizing! The kiss on his forehead is so touching. At that point she knew he was a kid and couldn't kiss him as a grown man would be kissed.

This scene…..
The genuine grief felt for Elizabeth Perkin’s character watching her love walk away for reason s she doesn’t understand
To watching magic and truth revealed in front of her very eyes
To seeing childhood innocence smile back at her
Washed away by a tidal wave of joy by a mother finding her lost child
I cannot think of a more powerful, genuine ending to a movie. All aided by an incredible score.

Omg that look that he gave her after he turned back! "I gotta go, I love you but I have to go." Such an adult expression but from a child. Brilliant actor ❤

When he turns into a kid again, I love how we get what he is saying without him saying a word. Also his mum's joy that he is home is wonderful.

This makes me miss being a child again. You dont know how good u have it . Until its gone

[thewolf]

I like the fact that’s she’s not in utter disbelief in this scene. I get the sense she truly believe him.

[pedrobakale]

Even though it's a "sad" ending to a movie, it's also optimistic in a way. Suzanne for the first time in a long time is able to see life from a better perspective, she is hopeful and optimistic, and although she will never see him again and the impossible lovers part, Josh has given her back an intimate part of herself that she believed. if not dead at least forgotten. Growing up, Suzanne had become hardened and cynical due to the imperatives of life, but now she is able to face life more emotionally.

I’m glad that she ended up happy for him when he became a kid again. I hope they kept in contact. Too bad they didn’t have Facebook back then

That kiss on the forehead was her recognising josh was a child in a adult form

[Mrjordan]

movies like this just dont exist these days

[karlmartin]

I like to belive at some point later in life they found each other and fell in love again.

[gaspanda]

I like the way it's ends with two friends just walking down the street having a normal conversation.

[CincyWahoo]

I think about this movie often. It makes me grateful for the childhood that I had. It also made me savor the childhoods of my three children.

"Josh, I gotta ask...why did you marry a woman about 15 years older than you the moment you turned 18?"

[A_Final_Hit]

As an 11 year old kid, this ending felt sappy and lovey dovey, which I didn't like. Now, as a 45 year old adult, you realize that Josh got to live the dream all adults have at some point, which is to be able to be a kid again, even if only for a little while. Such a wonderful movie that, sadly, Hollywood has no interest in doing anymore.

[Jbaxter]

At that moment, Josh had to make the hardest decision he had ever made, despite he had everything he wanted as an adult - a job, apartment & girl of his dreams but deep down he knows he miss his family & his family misses him dearly. It was nice of Susan drove him home & watched him become a kid again so he can reunite with his family 👪, I know Josh will never forget Susan, you don't forget your first love. This was, still is a happy but sad bittersweet ending. I love this movie a lot, real classic.

Seeing Tom Hanks so young, knowing he's 68 now, makes me realise how fleeting youth is. You blink and you're an old man.

[bryanrizzo]

Cried my eyes out. One of the saddest endings to a movie I've ever seen.

[andyjh]

Definitely the best of the numerous "life swap" movies that popped up in the 80s, and this final scene is utterly hearbreaking. So little dialogue, but the whole story is etched on their faces right to the very end. Brilliantly done.

[animalfinatic]

Susan declined Josh's offer to become young again for a reason. For those of you saying Susan would wait for Josh, I wholeheartedly disagree. Susan truly loved Josh, and that means wanting the best for him as a person. That is what makes the ending so touching, she understands he is just a child, as should behave like one. This movie teaches us we shouldn't wait to become big, but we shouldn't long to become small either. Where we are right now is exactly where we need to be. We don't always get what we want, but sooner or later, you'll realize, that is a blessing in disguise. Yes, Josh and Susan will never forget eachother, but that is because they both loved eachother and made eachother happy, but not all love is romantic, at the end of the day, love is love, and that is why Josh must reunite with his childself and his family, and live his life and Susan lives hers. The movie ended perfectly.
