Because at the point of full moon it is about 50 thousand kilometers close to the Earth than usual and therefore appears slightly larger and 30% brighter than usual.

This happens because the Moon does not go round the Earth in a perfect circle but in an ellipse. Its orbit therefore takes it away from the Earth at times and at other times it brings it closer to the Earth.
