The London system offers white a setup that is flexible and hard to break down. White can proceed with a buildup to a king side attack or go for positional maneuvers.

It’s so cool that Stanley Kubrick came back to teach us a little chess.

At 4:52 the stronger move for white is e4, and not Ne5. The move e4 produces greater pressure in the center, and it prepares white's advance of the e4 pawn to e5, which is crucial in the London system.
