Film Brokeback Mountain (2005)

  • Brokebackmountain_large

Heath Ledger's death marks the loss of a prodigious talent. His American acting career began with lighthearted fare, but Ledger quickly branched out to challenging, provocative films, most prominently Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain. Ledger gives a note-perfect performance as Ennis Del Mar, a reticent cowboy who must suppress his inner life to conform in an unforgiving society. The film's powerful depiction of  love denied earned it critical acclaim and multiple awards; it's a sad reminder of the power Ledger had to move an audience.
