The movie BIG is about a kid who is trapped in a grown up body. He makes a wish at a carnival to be a grown up person and his wish quickly comes true. He also wants to have the responsibilities that comes as an adult and starts applying for jobs. When he goes to his first job interview, he gets hired on the spot after director discovers that the person who is assigned to take care of some computer assignments is just too busy with the planning of her wedding. During the interview, the director asks the kid who is in a grown up body if he knows anything about computers, his response is yes, and gets hired immediately. This kid on the other hand is thrilled to find out he will be working in a toy company not really understanding the responsibilities that come with it. After running into his boss at the toy store, the boss realizes he enjoys playing with toys so much that he will now name him director of the toy quality control department.
The deeper meaning I get from this movie is that you should have a passion for what you do. When we go into a job we gets lots of responsibilities but if you love what you do they will not feel like work but more like everyday play and having fun. As on the movie he was surprised to get paid while doing something he loves, I think we should take the same approach be surprised at how much we can earn if we only do what we have a passion for. Don't be afraid of the unknown, this will only limit ourselves, just like the movie he dove right into his wish of being a grown up without thinking of the responsibilities that came as an adult. At the end he loved what he achieved, I think that is how it should be for each one of us too.
