I think so too!

For some people football is religion - with emotion and passion. Caravaggio shows that the good guy does not always win. The defeated can win too! In that strange way that images communicate.

The emotion seems the same, the connection and bond between men, the colour of the flags and of the flowing robes of Christ, the contrast in colours of those holding the main characters, the light of the lamp and the TV lighting, the turning away from the main scene of characters, the waving to those outside the picture, the natural lighting - but most of all the struggle to understand in both scenes - for both those in the scenes and those viewing as a spectator.

I find so much about this connection between the painting by Caravaggio and the selected scene from "Little Giants" interesting.

The "lost" painting of Caravaggio and its "new" found importance in the 20th Century has a similar story to "Little Giants". The movie could be said to have been discarded virtually when it was filmed - due mainly to it portraying defeat. It was only 20 years later with that defeat lost its power that in can be watched my many - including the filmaker himself. Why? What does this say?
