Accomplished television actor John Schneider (most famously Bo Duke in DUKES OF HAZZARD) also has a contemporary career as a conservative, faith-based film auteur. His most recent opus is the gritty, psychedelic patriot drama TO DIE FOR, where he portrays Quint North, a disabled veteran on a mission to protect the American flag from unsavory elements that would like to see it disrespected. Enemies of the flag include the local high school’s star quarterback, who has drawn media attention by taking a knee while the national anthem plays at his games. Quint also contends with his neighbor, a Native American man who doesn’t see the symbol of the flag with the same degree of pride as Quint, igniting racial tension between the two men. But the most crushing blow to Quint’s daily life comes when his own daughter files a restraining order against him to prevent him from driving too close to the local school while displaying an American flag, because today’s politically correct standards render the flag an offensive symbol. John Schneider uses a bizarre combination of on-location filming mixed with green screen effects, frequently on very different perspectives of size and scale, which create a disorienting visual environment that perfectly complements his character Quint’s descent into madness as he is pushed to the limit for the simple crime of being a proud American. Quint’s genuinely troubling depiction of alcohol use, and his untreated PTSD go completely unremarked on throughout the film. Could these medical issues explain why Quint’s relationships are so unsuccessful? This 4th of July, the fireworks aren’t just a boisterous celebration of American strength — they’re also a cry for help.
