Far from the Madding Crowd movie quotes tell the story of one exceptional woman tasked with choosing between three very different suitors. The romantic drama was adapted by David Nicholls from the 1874 book of the same name by Thomas Hardy. Thomas Vinterberg directed the film which opened on May 1, 2015.
In Far from the Madding Crowd, Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) is a single woman in Victorian England who inherits a farm from her late uncle. She is unlike her uncle and unlike other women in her kind nature and willingness to treat everyone as equals. This sparks the eye of sheep farmer Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts) who begins to court her.
Meanwhile, Bathsheba meets her wealthy, handsome, mature neighbor William Boldwood. He too is smitten with her and wants nothing more than to be with her for eternity. As if two suitors were not enough, enter Sergeant Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge). The handsome charmer never turns down an opportunity to woo her with his words. So with three men after her heart and Bathsheba in a unique position to be very picky about her husband, this makes deciding between these men as fun as it is difficult.
Far from the Madding Crowd brings some historical drama to theaters which are showing a number of other films including Avengers: Age of Ultron, Welcome to Me, The Water Diviner, Adult Beginners and The Age of Adaline.

One Day I Will Leave You

Someone to Tame Me

Bathsheba Everdene: Mr. Oak, I want a husband. If I ever were to marry, I'd want someone to tame me and you'd never be able to do it.
Gabriel asks Bathsheba to marry him but is not exactly happy with the answer. She has the luxury of being extremely picky with her suitor and is doing just that.
Care to Lend a Hand

A Language Chiefly Made by Men

Bathsheba has a very unique view of the world, including her take on the English language. She sees it as something quite male-dominated, something difficult for a woman to use effectively as it was crafted by men, for men. This does not stop her from speaking her mind, however.
Astonish You All
Bathsheba Everdene: From now on you have a mistress, not a master. It is my intention to astonish you all.
After inheriting her uncle's farm, Bathsheba makes things clear that she will treat her workers well. Bathsheba is no ordinary woman and her never-ending string of surprising moves proves just that.
Don't Believe Him
Gabriel Oak: You should have nothing to do with him. Don't listen to him. Don't believe him.
Bathsheba Everdene: Why?
Gabriel warns Bathsheba against trusting her other suitors. But whether his concerns are real or that of a jealous man after a woman are yet to be determined.
