Heath Ledger (1979 - 2008)

In Memory of Heath Ledger (1979 - 2008)
Who created one of the best characters ever shown on screen.


INT: RIVERTON, WYOMING: DEL MAR TRAILER HOUSE: DAY: 1984:

ENNIS, back inside now, notices that ALMA JR. has left her sweater hanging over her chair.

He picks it up, hurries back to the door, opens it.
Sees she's long gone.

Folds the sweater.  Goes to a little closet, opens the door.  He places ALMA JR.'s sweater on the top shelf of the closet.

And there, on the back of the closet door, WE SEE THE SHIRTS, on a wire hangar suspended from a nail, and next to them, a postcard of Brokeback Mountain, tacked onto the door.

He has taken his shirt from inside of JACK'S and has carefully tucked JACK'S shirt down inside his own.

He snaps the top button of one of the shirts.

Looks at the ensemble through a few swinging tears.

ENNIS
Jack, I swear...

Stands there for a moment.

Then closes the closet door.

He looks out the window, at the great bleakness of the vast northern plains...

THE END
