Big (1988)
If Big were made today, it would likely retain its overall concept but with one significant modification. The film’s central plot point that revolves around the somewhat awkward relationship between Tom Hanks’ character, Josh Baskin, a 12-year-old trapped in an adult’s body, and Elizabeth Perkins’ character, Susan, a fully grown adult, would certainly be altered or approached differently. The evolving understanding of appropriate relationships and consent would necessitate a more responsible portrayal of the interactions between characters, ensuring that the age and power dynamics are addressed sensitively and ethically.
