Richard Linklater’s Last Flag Flying: The great pressure on artists to pull their punches
By David Walsh

Directed by Richard Linklater; written by Linklater and Darryl Ponicsan
Richard Linklater’s new film, Last Flag Flying, concerns two Vietnam War veterans who help a third bury his son, killed in Iraq. The movie is set in December 2003. It touches on America’s endless wars and their countless victims, but shies away from some of the more difficult and painful realities.
