Have you read what Diana Ossana said about the filming of this scene in her tribute in The Advocate? I found her tribute very touching.
"One of my most endearing memories of working with Heath on set was the day we filmed the final scene in Brokeback. Before the first take, Heath walked over to me, a big smile on his face, and said, "I think you're going to like what I've done with thhis scene." Then he headed inside that bleak little trailer house, and the cameras rolled. I watched the monitor as Ennis opened his tiny closet door and revealed the two shirts he had found hidden inside Jack's childhood bedroom, like skins, one inside the other... and realized that Heath, as Ennis, had chosen to reverse the order of those shirts, with his on the outside, embracing Jack's. Such was Heath's commitment to the truth of our story and to the rawness and depth of his portrayal. Afterward our grizzzled and thoroughly macho first assistant director marched over to me, bent down, and whispered in my ear, "Diana, I've worked in this business 50 years. This is the first time an actor's brought a tear to my eye."
Here's the full article:

I have debated whether to post the following 2 pieces or not, but anyway, here they are, I got them from dcf:
About Heath's Portrait
I know the portrait of Heath by Vincent Fantauzzo is quite controversial, here's an interview of Vincent by the Art Gallery of New South Wales during which he has talked in depth about Heath and the portrait, here's the link to the interview which I think is worth watching:

An Article by Luke Davies, the author of Candy
Luke Davies has written an article paying tribute to Heath in the March issue of The Monthly, here's the link:

I'm not sure why you hesitated posting these but a big Thank you for doing so! I watched a little bit of the Fantauzo interview but being at work I can't watch the whole thing at the moment but I will when I get home. I can't wait!
What exactly is the controversy about the painting? It's absolutely beautiful and makes a wonderful tribute. I think we are lucky to have it.

Thankyou so much for both of those.The interview with the artist was so revealing.At first I really did not like the portrait,I think it seemed too raw.The more I see it and read about its conception,the more it grows on me.The 2nd tribute piece,just reduced me to tears again!!!!!
The author so eloquently captures how so many of us feel at the death of Heath.He is not mocking or condescending,but genuine.He also captures the "spirit" of the Heath we all felt we knew, beautifully.
So again,big thankyou.
