Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee remembers a striking Heath Ledger scene in the touching neo-Western film and praises the late actor: 'He had a God-given gift.'
Director Ang Lee recalls a striking Heath Ledger scene from Brokeback Mountain. The late actor earned acclaim for many roles throughout his career and is best remembered as the Joker in the 2008 Christopher Nolan film The Dark Knight. Outside his Batman villain role, Ledger was recognized for his work in several projects, including 10 Things I Hate About You and Brokeback Mountain.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In Brokeback Mountain, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist meet during a sheep herding job on the titular mountain in 1963 and strike up an intimate relationship. As the pair complete the job and go their separate ways, Ennis ties the knot with his sweetheart Alma , but the continued relationship between Jack and Ennis places strain on the marriage.
“Ennis is alone, eating a slice of apple pie. Linda [Cardellini] is acting her heart out, she's in tears, confronting Ennis: 'Why did you do this?' But she doesn't get a word from him. Throughout the whole scene, Heath does nothing: he just eats the apple pie.
Both Ledger and Gyllenhaal were committed to putting forth raw and honest performances as the pair of lovers in Brokeback Mountain, with Gyllenhaal previously stating that the two were inspired by "a profound love for a lot of people that we knew and were raised by in our lives.
Ledger proved his deep respect and appreciation for Brokeback Mountain time and again in the three years between the film's release and his death in 2008, leaving behind a dignified legacy as part of the groundbreaking movie. The actor is known for many iconic roles, but Brokeback Mountain remains one of his most impressive and moving performances, earning him a nomination for an Academy Award.
