Actress Michelle Williams wants her daughter to watch
Brokeback Mountain because this is the film which had brought her closer to Heath Ledger.
Michelle met Ledger on the sets of the cowboy drama in 2004 and welcomed Matilda the following year. However, the couple parted ways in 2007 and a year later, Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose in his New York City apartment.
"What does that movie (
Brokeback Mountain) mean to me? That movie is many, many things... It is a piece of cinema history and I happen to be involved in it. There've been a few films that I have been so transported by the filmmaking that I couldn't focus... I felt like I got really close to the thing that I wanted to do and I was very proud... to be associated with it," aceshowbiz.com quoted Williams as saying.
"I was just an actor who happened to be lucky enough to be in the right place, and it was the place where I met Matilda's father, and that is a lot. It was a lot. And it will be a lot for Matilda too, when she gets around to watching it."
"I will watch it with her, when she's ready. It is hard to imagine what that would feel like, but one day, yes, we will watch it together," she added.
