Ariel Sharon as Serpico

... just in the sense that he falls into that roll of the peace-maker who gets killed. Seems like the more he tries to broker peace the more at risk he becomes.

Also like Chris Chambers in "Stand By Me". This quote from the movie always gets me:
Chris did get out. He enrolled in the college courses with me, and, although it was hard, he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument—one of them pulled a knife. Chris, who had always made the best peace, tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly.

Just seems like alot of people have alot at stake in perpetuating conflict. Like the movie "Why We Fight".
