    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Heath Ledger, uncertain about the role when he was first offered it, was encouraged by his then girlfriend, Naomi Watts, to take it, immediately after they both read the script. After reading the script, Ledger said he would have flown to Taiwan to meet with Ang Lee in order to be hired for the role.
    • Goofs
      When Cassie dances with Ennis the first time (in the late 1970s), the jukebox is playing Steve Earle's revamped version of "The Devil's Right Hand," which first came out in 1987-8.
    • Quotes
      • Jack Twist: Tell you what... the truth is... sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.
    • Alternate versions
      The 2008 showing of the film on the television channel Rai Due in Italy was cut to remove the kissing of the two men and the gay sex scene.
