High on Brokeback Mountain, Heath's character, Ennis Del Mar, muttered one of the most famous lines in the movie:

"You know I ain't queer"

(Well, I won't!  ;) )
"It was only you in my life, and it will always be only you, Jack, I swear."

In a BBM review for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers wrote:

"Ledger's magnificent performance is an acting miracle.  He seems to tear it from his insides.  Ledger doesn't just know how Ennis moves, speaks and listens; he knows how he breathes.  To see him inhale the scent of a shirt hanging in Jack's closet is to take measure of the pain of love lost."

After playing a taciturn ranch hand in love with a man, Heath did an about-face in his next movie, playing the notorious womanizer Casanova during his Venetian years.
