Rush 2


At the beginning of the movie, Devdas’s mom is excited about his arrival the next day, and runs to his room to remove the white sheets that she had used to cover all the furniture in his room. These white sheets were my gram.

For a long time as we viewed the movie, I don’t remember seeing any more white fabric or clothing, but was not surprised at this marked absence. The super colorful and vibrant world that is depicted in the first half of the movie didn’t allow any surface to be devoid of color. But towards the end of our viewing, Devdas is at his friend's place, and they're both wearing white. I think that this change in color also marks a shift to a more sombre mood in the movie.

  1. The white sheets make a good anchor point for analysis (and a good selection of gram). See my comments on your rush 3 response.
