I've only seen the movie once, and it was awhile ago. But, if I had to take a stab in the dark, it would be very simple. People take the little things in life for granted, and they don't realize how some decisions they make can affect those little things. Think about what Tom Cruise decides to do with his life in that movie. He leaves (or cheats, i cant remember) on Cameron Diaz with Penelope Cruz, which causes Cameron to go insane and leads up to the car crash.
The movie's way messed up to get to any really good interpretations out of it. But basically, it's the little things in life that matter and if you don't stop and realize this, your bound to make a mistake that will cost you.

I haven't seen the movie, but we say this if we think the other person is trying to be too emotional or sentimental or tragic about something. In the days before talking movies, the action was accompanied by a small orchestra, and if somebody was saying something sad, the violins would play sadly in the background. Violins are equated with an over-emotional scene.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The key is this exchange:
David: Look at us. I'm frozen and you're dead, and I love you.
Sofía: It's a problem.
David: I lost you when I got in that car. I'm sorry.
The key word in the original quote is "consequences." The little thing with the big impact was David choosing to get in the car with Julie.

I don't remember the context of that quote in the movie, but what it means to me is that the little things in life are what create meaning for us. In a relationship, for example, it's not the big romantic overtures that keep us in love, it's the looks, the small gestures of appreciation and kindness, the daily respect.

There is no hidden meaning. Geez, it's right there to see.
It says the same thing as this old addage:
"Don't sweat the small stuff.
It's all small stuff."
By his line "There's nothing bigger, is there?" he's making the statement that there is nothing but SMALL things.
