"Q" is quelling

So Ennis and Jack ... rendezvous two, three times a year, going on ''fishing trips'' to Brokeback Mountain (???) where they can be at peace with one another, quelling their longing and loneliness.     Love Story by R Shulman

At the end of the movie, Ennis regretfully said, "Jack, I swear."

Ennis and Jack's chances of having a happy life began to shrink as soon as they left Brokeback.

Ennis and Jack pay no attention to the twitch of Alma's mouth when Ennis says: "Two little girls: Alma Jr., and Francine. Love them to pieces."

"V" is validation

"The stricken face of Michelle Williams as Alma conveys the seismic catastrophe of love that must not exist but will not disappear.  The moment she knows her marriage is over is a miracle of economic acting.  Lureen’s (Anne Hathaway) bitterness at husband Jack can be measured by the amount of peroxide in her hair.  Finally, Ledger’s sterling last moments on screen are a validation of the entire bold enterprise."

Alma’s knit dress in the scene where she sees Jack and Ennis kissing is made of multicolored yarns.
