The War: Giving

1994 film "The War" starring Kevin Costner and Elijah Wood. Scene is when Wood's character Stu is picked on by the local bullies the Lipnicki kids. Stu's dad played by Costner pulls his son from the fight. Later as the two are walking back to their car, Costner gives away the cotton candy, which he bought for Stu's mom and sister, to two of the Lipnicki kids. Stu protests and asks why his father would give the cotton candy to the kids who beat him up. Stu's dad replies: "Because they look like they haven't been given anything in a long time." I used the clip as an illustration for a sermon in November 2008 on Jesus' parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard. This is not my work. The War is owned and distributed by Universal Pictures, 1994. The song playing in the background of the film clip, "Follow" by Richie Havens, was used by the film's creators and with permission from the artist. WMG administered the sound recording for "Follow" for the film's soundtrack.
