How to locate death of 1,000 cuts in movies

I guess the best way to get information about death of 1,000 cuts in
movies might be to post a rant about Steven Seagal in alt.movies,
rec.arts.movies.current-films, rec.arts.movies.past-films, rec.arts.tv,
and alt.politics, because when you ask a question about death of 1,000
cuts in movies, everybody answers with comments about Steven Seagal, so
I'm still trying to think up a good Steven Seagal post so I can get the
answers about death of 1,000 cuts in movies.

And, oh by the way... The analogy of a death of a 1,000 cuts sometimes
appears in literature, and in discussions of politics and business.

And like I asked before, besides literature and other discussions, how
about movies? In which movies has the death of a 1,000 cuts been used,
or even mentioned? No. Don't tell me, not some Steven Seagal movie!

Definition:
death of a 1000 cuts - n. - the martial concept that a gradual bleeding
to death of an opponent (attrition) is easier to accomplish than a
single deadly thrust. The concept is extended to politics and the
erosion of personal liberties necessary to establish tyranny. See
boiling frog. In one current online example Commentary: Death by 1,000
cuts in Iraq, UPI Senior News Analyst Martin Sieff uses this term, but
does not define it.
