Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstien, the "father of montage" editing, is well-known for this scene in his 1926 release Battleship Potemkin.


The baby carriage scene is such a classic that even modern-day filmmakers have
attempted to mimic it. In the 1987 film The Untouchables, Brian de Palma
remade the scene in attempt to pay homage to Eisenstein.

    I thought the scene in Untouchables though was a lot more 'realistic" than Battleship Potemkin. Maybe it was the time of the filmatic era it was shot in, but still, althoug Eisenstein was the creator of that dramatic editing shot, I was alot more engaged with the same method of editing in the Untouchables
