On paper, it's a deceptively simple moment. Just a grizzled, middle-aged cowboy (Heath Ledger) opening his closet to straighten his late lover's old, denim work-shirt and thumb a faded postcard of their secret romantic getaway. Yet in a film where the central characters leave so much unsaid, Ennis' tearful final act speaks volumes about the nature of love, loss, and self-denial for two men torn apart by the unforgiving forces of time and circumstance. —
