[first lines]
Bathsheba Everdene: [narrating] "Bathsheba Everdene." "Bathsheba." The name has always sounded strange to me. I don't like to hear it said out loud. My parents died when I was very young, so there's no one to ask where it came from. I've grown accustomed to being on my own. Some say even too accustomed. Too independent.
-
Bathsheba Everdene: From now on, you have a mistress, not a master. I don't yet know my talents in farming, but I shall do my best. Don't suppose, because I'm a woman, I don't know the difference between bad goings-on and good. I shall be up before you're awake. I shall be a-field before you are up. It is my intention to astonish you all. Back to work, please.

William Boldwood: You must at least admire my persistence.
Bathsheba Everdene: I do.
William Boldwood: And like me?
Bathsheba Everdene: Yes.
William Boldwood: And respect me?
Bathsheba Everdene: Yes. Very much.
William Boldwood: Which is it? Like or respect?
-
[last lines]
Bathsheba Everdene: Wasn't I your first sweetheart? Weren't you mine? And now I'd have to go on without you.
Gabriel Oak: If I knew... If I knew that you would let me love you and marry you...
Bathsheba Everdene: But you will never know.
Gabriel Oak: Why not?
Bathsheba Everdene: Because you never ask!
Gabriel Oak: Would you say no again?
Bathsheba Everdene: I don't know. Probably. So why don't you? Ask me. Ask me. Ask me, Gabriel.
Gabriel Oak: [lunges and kisses her]

At first, I didn’t believe that this was an adaptation of Hardy’s novel. Except for the detailed description of farming, it seems that the king of BE started from Mary Su’s novel... I don’t like this one. The CM is too deliberate, but the three male protagonists absolutely all have full marks. And, is Master Boldwood sure that he is after the heroine instead of Oak? Are you really sure?

The scenery of Dorset is really picturesque, and every outfit of Bathsheba is also beautiful. Why did I read the story of Mary Su's green tea bitch so well? Sure enough, I'm a bitch in my heart (?!) I really like the director's use of light and the angle of the camera. Matthias, you also ask me if I'm okay [crying
