Interesting how there is also mise en scene in the Moment the mother carries her dead Child towards the troops up the steps framed by the dead laying left and right and also the large shadows! This clip really explains what he talked about in the lecture.
The Odessa Staircase from Battleship Potemkin? It's the probably the most important scene in cinema history. There's an homage to the scene on "The Untouchtables" (Brian de Palma) and a satirical use in "Bananas" (Woody Allen).
The Tzar's army is the White Army - hence the white umbrella 'attacking' the camera. Eisenstein also uses the steps of the staircase to mark the passage of time and it's interesting how we perceive events shown between the staircase shots to be happening at the same time (in paralle time). The first time I saw the scene was on Brian de Palma's The Untouchtables - and though I was a young teenager and had never even heard of Eisenstein the baby stroller going down, step by step, inside the trains station, marked the time. Brian de Palma's version make the effect more noticeable. In Eisenstein's film the effectiveness is really noticeable also when the baby stroller goes down the staircase.
If it was some boring subject like economics, I'd understand them using their laptops for other things. But who the fuck goes to Facebook when learning about mise en scene and the history of montages?
The baby carriage makes me think of something from Ghostbusters (I or II) when the ghost steals the baby. It's not a downhill kind of thing but kind of along the same lines.
Videos like this are ripe for AI augmentation. Where's the aspiring film production student savvy with AI who takes this lecture and supplants the image of energetic lecturer with examples of all the cinema and themes and historical footage he's speaking of. Eh?

Oh no, I feel like I just saw him age seven years with the click of a button.
Well, you did.
The students with laptops are totally checking their Facebook. Caught!
Yes. It's sadly that in the middle of such a great lesson the student opens facebook to chat with friends.
this is brilliant!

Not a future filmmaker, that's for sure.
Eisenstein reminds us that there are things you may not want to survive.
Love it
