turner had a rich history with kent and drew inspiration for his works from a variety of locations including stangate creek , margate and whitstable . now , the turner contemporary gallery in margate celebrates turner’s association with the area .
all in all , the 150 - minute mr . turner is an impressive accomplishment , laudable for the way it uses the figure of a single artist to explore both art and cinema .
from boyhood to birdman , mr turner to wild , this year’s academy awards are in thrall to powers we can barely comprehend . but why have film - makers starting thinking so big ?
mr turner , produced for around $ 15m , was lauded by critics after it screened at the 67th cannes film festival . indeed , timothy spall won the gong for best male actor and pope was honoured with the vulcain technical artist prize by the cst ( commission supérieure technique de l’image et du son ) for “bringing to light the works of turner” via his deft cinematography . here , ron prince discovers more about how mr turner was conceived and shot .

‘mike leigh knew that i could draw a little bit , but i spent a good two years learning how to paint before filming even started on mr turner , ’ spall told me early in filming .
the director has made little secret of his contempt for the awards body . does that explain why mr turner has received so few nominations , or do bafta - voters simply prefer unchallenging , middlebrow entertainment ?
timothy spall’s portrayal of painter jmw turner on the big screen earned him rave reviews and an acting award at the cannes film festival . but it appears his “clenching” buttocks in mr turner also drew the public’s disapproval , surprisingly making it the most complained about film of the past year .
due to its limited screen count , mr turner had to content itself with seventh place in the weekend chart . however , partly thanks to family films and horror pictures fading on monday , mr turner found itself surging to become the top - grossing title on that day , auguring well for continued success . the film expands to about 250 cinemas from its second weekend , by far the widest play for a leigh title . the director’s biggest ever hit , vera drake , enjoyed an exceptionally sustained run , eventually reaching £2 . 38m . it’s now a question of when , not if , mr turner exceeds that figure .
mr . leigh’s twin portraits of important 19th - century cultural figures ( gilbert and sullivan in “topsy - turvy , ” and now turner in “mr . turner” ) extend the range of his sympathy and curiosity into a past that is neither the mirror of the present nor wholly alien to the world as we know it . turner , with his lumbering gait and broad , suety face , dominates the picture , seeming to personify his age and all its contradictions . his speech is a symphony of growls , snorts and flights of guttural eloquence . as he traipses from london to the seaside town of margate and back , paces in his studio and prowls the galleries of the royal academy , we witness an act of creation that seems more sculptural than cinematic , as if mr . spall and mr . leigh were molding turner in molten bronze .

it ' s only fitting that mr . turner takes on the texture of an ambulatory painting that brims with precise orchestration and vivid expression . it beautifully hums and flows like the artwork on display - not just as a superficial marvel but as a profound reincarnation of j . m . w . turner ' s eminent yet occasionally objectionable life . unlike countless biopics of recent , mike leigh ' s stunning epic boasts copious clarity and a seamlessly paced narrative that creatively circumvents the trappings of the genre . incandescent and entirely immersive , mr . turner echoes the enchanting artistry of turner with its own spellbinding piece of magnificence .
for leigh , however , the structure of

was in some ways such a departure from what he was used to that he found the making of it , in a word ,
terrifying .

set in mid - nineteenth century , the story of mr . turner concerns the last 25 years in the life of the esteemed english painter , j . m . w . turner . and although the plot does offer glimpses of what drove or inspired the man & his work over the years , its major emphasis is actually on the flawed…

mike leigh’s mr . turner , about the last decades of the life of the english painter j . m . w . turner ( 1775 - 1851 ) , which the filmmaker has been attempting to make for some time , is a strong and fascinating work . in its own way , it is a quite radical film , which insists on turner’s humble origins and his estrangement from the upper echelons of british society , as well as the painting academy .
mr . turner is about the tensions and contrasts between this very mortal man and his timeless work , between his fragility and his strength . it is also an attempt to evoke the dramatic changes in his world over the last quarter century of his life .
joshua mcguire is one of the only featured actors in mr . turner to be working with mike leigh for the first time . he was recently seen in richard curtis ' s ' about time ' , and following mr . turner , filmed roles in kenneth branagh ' s ' cinderella ' and chris smith ' s ' get santa ' . television work includes siblings ' , ' you , me & them ' , ' a young doctor ' s notebook ' and the second series of ' the hour ' .
in ' mr . turner , ' i was dealing with the time period from 1825 to 1851 [ the year of the artist ' s death ] and that set all kinds of traps , opened up a whole lot of cans of worms .
' ' fences ' ' receives - it has just finished previews and will run through may 25 - it does stand as a testament to the working partnership between mr . richards and mr . wilson . with two plays done and another planned for next year , their collaboration is fast becoming as fruitful as the one between mr . richards and athol fugard , the south african author of ' ' master harold . . . and the boys ' ' and other plays .
' ' i remember thinking ' what do i do now ? ' ' ' mr . wilson said . ' ' so i immediately started ' fences . ' i didn ' t want to allow that pressure to build . ' ' mr . wilson also wrote ' ' joe turner ' s come and gone ' ' - scheduled next season at the yale repertory - before ' ' ma rainey ' ' opened .

in the case of ' ' fences , ' ' mr . wilson and mr . richards had a fair amount of work to do on a tight schedule . the play ran three and a half hours in its staged reading at the o ' neill theater center in 1983 . mr . wilson made cuts before rehearsals began at the yale repertory earlier this year , but another 30 minutes needed to be cut during rehearsals to bring the running time to two hours and 15 minutes .
“mr . turner” is a flaccid , interminable movie by a talented director , mike leigh , which means it has its moments , but moments are all you get . the movie seems as if it were made as a halfhearted response to a question that no one was , in fact , asking , “what was j . m . w . turner really like ? ”
whilst the film , simply titled mr turner , includes visual influences rooted in the romantic paintings of the 19th century , it is chiefly a character study of the mercurial artist – an eccentric , reclusive character , bedevilled by depressive bouts and tangled familial and amorous relationships .
the mr turner production visited the historic dockyard in chatham where they used hms gannet which doubled for a pleasure vessel on the thames as well as the scenes where turner is tied to the mast of a ship in a storm to make some sketches for his painting snow storm - steam - boat off a harbour’s mouth . stangate creek was also used to film a rowing scene .

english painting’s renowned master of light , joseph mallord william turner ( 1775 - 1851 ) , gets a suitably illuminating screen biography in mike leigh’s “mr . turner , ” an ecstatically beautiful and exquisitely detailed portrait of the artist as a cantankerous middle - aged man whose brilliance with the brush overshadows his sometimes appalling lack of social graces . returning to the large - canvas period [ … ]

it appears that turner might just have tumbled out of bed . but then turner , most commonly known as ‘the painter of light’ , was also a brilliant eccentric who cared little for his appearance or what other people thought of him .
but we also know that turner was a visionary , whose later work was not always well understood by his contemporaries .

not here , though . “mr . turner” is a mighty work of critical imagination , a loving , unsentimental portrait of a rare creative soul . but even as it celebrates a glorious painter and illuminates the sources of his pictures with startling clarity and insight , the movie patiently and thoroughly demolishes more than a century’s worth of mythology about what art is and how artists work . you may have had the good fortune to study turner’s watercolors and martial tableaus up close , to linger over his storms and placid river scenes , but somehow mr . leigh makes it all look newly painted , fresh and strange .

not only did he spend two years learning to paint , but he also visited the artist’s homes in margate and london , read more than 20 books on turner and learned about greek mythology and other areas in which turner was an expert .
it might be risking ruskinesque folly to take “mr . turner” as a self - portrait of its director , but turner shares with mr . leigh an ability to travel the circuit between the sublime and the ordinary , to bring into view aspects of reality that had been somehow invisible in plain sight . all of mr . leigh’s films are personal to the extent that they reflect his sensibility , his politics and his ethical concerns , but his methods — characters and stories developed over many months of rehearsal , improvisation and research in collaboration with actors and crew members — resist the imposition of a singular authorial vision . he is best known for anatomizing the pervasive indignities and saving graces of modern britain , with particular attention to the low and middle rungs of the class ladder and the stresses and pleasures of family life . social life for him is what sea air was to turner : an atmospheric element that becomes a vehicle of meaning and emotion .

at 150 minutes , the epic length of the film posed a challenge to programmers trying to offer customers a choice of two evening showtimes , and there was evidence of straddling across two screens , alternating with a shorter film . after the friday numbers came in , some cinemas promoted mr turner to screens with bigger seating capacity .
in the new mike leigh film , mr turner , you can hardly miss the mister . joseph mallord william is a sore thumb from the opening scene , where he’s sketching a windmill somewhere in rural holland , poised like a pot - bellied stork among the rushes . the scene tells you everything you need to know about the man and the places he feels happiest : in short , it’s landscape as portrait , and turner would have smiled at that .
i ' d have given more stars for mr spall ' s acting but was voting on the actual film which threw me a bit as it wasn ' t what i was expecting . i managed to get into it a bit more as it went on and i learned more online afterwards which helped me make sense of the characters in the film . i got the impression it had been put together as pieces of known information or situations in turner ' s life a bit like a patchwork quilt where squares of knowledge were sewn together . i particularly enjoyed mr spall ' s section explaining elements of mr turner ' s life and the making of the film itself as an extra part of the dvd . apparently the man was enigmatic and secretive , i ' d have liked to have known why although i appreciate that may not be something generally known .

there’s also a memorable and devastating conversation , shot in one long take , in which haydon’s colleagues discuss his career , as haydon is shown , through a window , walking farther and farther into the background . it’s a brilliantly composed shot , in which a man’s life is being consigned to failure and disappointment even as he walks along , unknowing . but in the end , what does haydon really have to do with turner ? or with “mr . turner” ?

the length , composition and movement or lack thereof of each shot has given mr . turner the rare quality of feeling like they simply shot a play while still retaining a cinematic feel ( very impressive cinematography by dick pope , not poop ) . timothy spall is also incredible ( keep an eye out for the crying scene ) .
the film is playing an even balance of arthouses and multiplexes , with the former scoring particularly well on friday . growth on saturday came more in the plexes , perhaps as a result of bigger screen allocations or tinkering with showtimes . across the weekend , picturehouse claimed top share , with 18 % of mr turner’s box - office .
i think you have to take the whole picture in terms of what impact imprisonment has on a specific individual ' s life . and the impact statements that have been - - or the , really , character letters that have been submitted , do show a huge collateral consequence for mr . turner based on the conviction .
timothy spall in mike leigh ' s mr turner leigh ' s film won a best actor award for timothy spall as well as the vulcan award of the technical artist for cinematographer dick pope . the salt of the earth , directed by lfs graduate juliano ribeiro salgado was awarded the un certain regard special jury prize , alongside wim wenders .
mr . turner treats the facts with no less mercilessness , but at least it honors turner even as it cherry - picks from his biography . 150 minutes of a stodgy victorian artist few remember become compelling thanks to the leigh’s masterful combination of reality , invention , and myth . turner’s myth , indeed , holds that he strapped himself to the mast of the ship in order to paint the sea , an image that forms one of the film’s best scenes . his forcible affair with his servant , while awful to see , is of a piece with the rest of turner’s character as leigh imagines him . when in mourning for someone close to him , turner visits a whorehouse simply to paint one , out of the same compulsive , hungry need that motivates him in every other corner of his life , for good or ill . all we once had left of turner were his paintings and a few biographies—now we have a vibrant work of cinema to commemorate his art , and where it took us .
unlike “topsy - turvy” ( which centered on the writing and staging of “the mikado” ) , “mr . turner” employs a broader , more episodic structure that slowly and steadily immerses us in his world during the period when he was transitioning from classical representational painting to more abstract , proto - impressionistic forms ( paintings like the ravishing “rain , steam and speed
“no , ” turner barks . “the past is the past . you’re observing the future ! smoke . iron . steam ! ” leigh and spall’s genius is to show us both in one man : turner is future and past , progress and history , tugboat and temeraire .
mr . turner
not only has everything aesthetically a biographical period drama could ask for with gorgeous costumes and product design , but it also has the unique distinction of actually putting the vastly underrated , timothy spall in a lead role for once . a role , i might add , he clearly was born to play as he was absolutely sublime playing the curmudgeon artist , jmw turner . however , the film ' s concept is one i ain ' t buying . i get the point of following the character around through these big moments between rather dull ones , but its slow pace doesn ' t go well with its long run time which ultimately tries the patience . overall ,
mr . turner
has a lot to boast about , but it ' s simply too testy to be worth its audience ' s time .

mr turner is funny , humane and visually immaculate , hitting its confident stride straight away . it combines domestic intimacy with an epic sweep , and a lyrical gentleness pervades each scene , tragic or comic . every line , every detail , every minor character , however casual or apparently superfluous , is absolutely necessary .

at last year’s cannes film festival , his long - gestating passion project , mr turner , was rapturously received . a jury headed by jane campion and including nicolas winding refn , jia zhangke and willem dafoe awarded the best actor prize to its star , timothy spall , for his performance – all bluster , phlegm and heartache – as the painter jmw turner . the acclaim continued when the picture opened in britain in october . what’s more , with uk takings of £6 . 58m , mr turner is among the 10 highest - grossing british films of 2014 . leigh’s move to a larger canvas has resulted in the biggest hit of a career which began more than 40 years ago . it wasn’t far - fetched to hope that its excellence would be recognised come awards season . but artistic achievement , critical accolades and popularity among the public clearly hold no sway with bafta .
sophia booth ( 1798 - 1875 ) was turner ' s landlady in margate , and then his mistress and companion from the mid - 1830s . twice widowed , she had a son by her first marriage . she eventually sold her margate boarding house and moved with turner to chelsea .

and while all the wonderfully played characters in
mr . turner ,
from the winning mrs . booth , the mistress and companion of his later years ( marion bailey ) , to the critic john ruskin ( joshua mcguire ) , are based on real people rather than created from scratch , that didn ' t change the way leigh and his actors worked .
mike leigh has solved all these problems in mr . turner , his glorious new film about the last years of the english landscape painter j . m . w . turner . and i’m not even quite sure how he’s done it—his brushstrokes are as subtle and difficult to distinguish as the ones that make up his subject ' s shimmering seascapes and ominous , billowing clouds . writing about mr . turner a few weeks after seeing it , i feel a craving to be again immersed in its world , which is rich with colors , textures , and , it sometimes almost seems , smells—not always pleasant ones , given that this is the early 19 th century we’re talking about . more than any period film in years ( paul thomas anderson’s there will be blood comes to mind , as does leigh’s own topsy turvy ) mr . turner seems to be taking place in something like the actual past , in a world distinctly different from our own while remaining contiguous with it . as the inscrutable turner , a work - obsessed loner who for long stretches communicates only in grunts , timothy spall—a key member of leigh’s informal ensemble company for decades now—creates a character so embodied and complete , it doesn’t matter that we don’t always get the motivations behind his impulsive acts . the seeming disconnect between this painter’s chaotic personal life and the harmonious compositions he creates only deepens , and enhances , the mystery .

in perhaps the greatest of all movies about the lives of painters , maurice pialat’s “van gogh , ” not a single van gogh painting was ever shown . leigh doesn’t go quite as far in “mr . turner , ” but his sensibility is largely the same , striving to capture the temperament of the man and his times rather than reducing them to a series of iconic images and eureka moments . scenes of turner scribbling in his sketchbook and slathering paint on canvas are used sparingly , and never without a clear purpose . shooting in widescreen , the director and his regular d . p . dick pope strive less to re - create turner’s canvases cinematically than to capture something of the land and light as it might have inspired him : a steam locomotive cloaking the horizon in its exhaust ; boats at sea wreathed in a magic - hour glow . whereas leigh’s much - vaunted work with actors has often dominated the discussion around his films , “mr . turner” should leave no lingering doubts that he is every bit as masterful a visual storyteller .
musical remake annie is the biggest unreleased title in the leak ; due in theaters worldwide next month , it opens wide in the u . s . on december 19 . still alice , the alzheimer’s drama that’s propelling julianne moore into the oscar race , hits limited screens on december 5 . mike leigh’s period biopic mr . turner is set for a december 19 limited bow .
usually , an artist biography attempts to account for the art , to make a bridge between who the artist was and what he created . “mr . turner” doesn’t do that . turner’s ability to paint is just a gift of vision that he happens to possess , just as his inexhaustible interest in seascapes seems innate and unexplainable . that , in itself , presents no problem — mozart’s genius remained a mystery in “amadeus . ” but this film offers little in its place but a grunting man’s day - to - day life .
now mr . wilson is back again with a new drama entitled ' ' fences , ' ' starring james earl jones as the proud but embittered head of a pittsburgh family . ' ' fences ' ' reunites mr . wilson with the yale repertory and its artistic director , lloyd richards , the director of both ' ' ma rainey ' ' and ' ' fences ' ' and the man who might be said to have ' ' discovered ' ' august wilson .
the stunning new biopic of the romantic landscape painter j . m . w . turner improvises on art history to ( successfully ) create art itself .
the pair have an on - off sexual relationship , but in between times turner is cold , distant and often absent for weeks at a time .
their focus : judge aaron persky , who sentenced turner in june . several speakers called for persky to be removed from office through a recall election .
i wondered in the first few minutes if i would be watching the film through to the end . then i watched a little more . then i was hooked on this film - wanting to see how this famous artist ' s life would play out . timothy spall is amazing in this film and the class and lifestyle of mr turner was quite a surprise . loved this film .
in
mr . turner ,
as in all his films , leigh ' s specific way of working , his use of months of pre - shooting improvisation , building characters with his actors from the ground up — spall took painting lessons for two years to allow him to feel comfortable with a brush in his hands — makes his people and his stories singularly lifelike and convincing .
“sir john soane [ the neo - classical architect played by nicholas jones ] always wore britches and black stockings and that was a written fact . and it was great to play up the rivalry between john constable and turner and constable not being successful in his lifetime but turner being very successful . constable was painting in his shirt sleeves next to turner and that’s how james fleet decided he would play constable . there’s very little evidence for how people looked when they were painting . there is a painting of turner on ‘varnishing day , ’ so we know how turner would be . it was all about your rank and your status and how you’re perceived by your colleagues . you rarely see such social scenes played out in period films to that detail . ”
the portrait painted of the artist in
mr . turner
is as muddled and murky as his paintings were perceived to be by victorian london . despite exceptional costumes , sets and locations , despite very good acting , and despite a sublime soundtrack ,
mr . turner
is a complete failure of storytelling . turner ' s motives are never explained other than that he is a fading star whose avant - garde work is not appreciated ( although that is not a clear motivation in his relationships since his mistreatment of women seems to far predate his fall from the artistic firmament ) . is he a misogynist who rapes and abandons the women in his life and who has merely moved on to the next ? or does he love the women in his life but feels he must hurt and deceive them in order to protect them ( . . . from what ? ) ? the unanswered questions are legion and should not be mistaken for subtle script writing where clues supporting either conclusion are placed throughout the film . there are no clues , and any conclusions drawn by the audience are necessarily based on pure speculation .
mr . turner
should have been a five - star film , but the lack of a discernible story leaves the film a mere period atmosphere piece with no compelling reason to see it .
the biographical drama takes us back to the nineteenth century when turner travelled and painted some of his renowned works , even though he was struggling with the death of his esteemed father . the film also highlights turner’s eccentric behaviour which resulted in his being both celebrated and reviled by the public and royalty alike .
although he has two grown daughters , family life is not for mr . turner . his art is all - consuming and he travels wherever he believes he ' ll find inspiration for his next works . he finds himself in the coastal town of margate , where he rents a small seaside apartment from widow sophia booth ( marion bailey ) , who goes on to become his last mistress .
mr turner does not want for admirers . “mike leigh and timothy spall’s great achievement is showing us how the artist approached the physical business of painting , ” sir nicholas serota , the director of the tate galleries , tells me . “but they also convey the spirit of a man whose reputation as a curmudgeon is unwarranted , given his passionate interest in people and the world around him . there is a great humanitarian streak in turner and mike leigh has found a way of capturing this on film , as he has done so often before . ”
additional international titles announced in special presentations include mike leigh’s “mr . turner , ” laurent cantet’s “return to ithaca , ” abel ferrara’s “pasolini , ” zhang yimou’s “coming home , ” david oelhoffen’s “far from men , ” ruben ostlund’s “force majeure , ” shim sung - bo’s “haemoo , ” peter chelsom’s “hector and the search for happiness , ” saverio costanzo’s “hungry hearts” and wang xiaoshuai’s “red amnesia . ”
georgiana thompson ( 1811 - 1843 ) was sarah danby and turner ' s second illegitimate daughter . she died in childbirth , having married three years earlier .
additionally , the judge said he ' d considered the
severe impact
a state prison sentence would have on an offender of turner ' s age .
j . m . w turner is an artist best known for his atmospheric paintings of landscapes . but he had another less known talent . he created bespoke galleries specially designed to display his paintings . in 1822 turner opened a gallery behind his west end house . the painting above by george jones shows us what it looked like . every aspect of the gallery – from its heating and lighting to the arrangement of paintings on its walls – was carefully planned by turner .
* grumble * meet the unexpectedly hilarious - and i mean in chorus laughter from the entire cinema audience - life of mr . j . m . w . turner , celebrated british sea - view painter . * snarl * there is a scene in here that features an art critic circle discussing gooseberries growth and it overtrumps the best monty python sketches , i almost died laughing in my chair , an effect few comedies have managed to inflict on me and here mr . turner , announced as an drama / biopic , does it again and again and again . * grunt * * spew * featuring little plot besides seemingly unimportant and , above all , random passages is his life , the film is full of eccentric characters who turn uneventfulness into brilliance . * snort * we never get to care too much about…
immersive , unhurried and beautifully created ,
mr . turner
will premiere in competition at the festival de cannes on thursday with timothy spall commanding in the title role . it ' s a marvel both in its presentation of a very specific individual in his particular world and as an examination of the demanding power of the creative impulse . the film will be released later this year by sony pictures classics .
typically for director leigh , he expected his cast and crew to approach the film with devotion and artistic vigour , becoming experts on turner’s art and victorian england .
as spall explains : ‘turner was charismatic . he may have been funny - looking but women liked him because he was a genius and they knew it . ’
apart from the fantastic characterizations and top - notch cinematography , the real beauty of turner ' s vision was his ability to find beauty in the seemingly ordinary .
gage , john . j . m . w . turner :
a wonderful range of mind .
. new haven : yale university press , 1987 .
with this play , mr . wilson also has begun to learn more about theatrical form - how to communicate to an audience that two weeks have passed between scenes , for example , and how to allow an actor time to change costumes between scenes .
in recent weeks mr . turner has come under fire for taking such liberties , especially regarding the depiction of turner’s unfavorable characteristics . in all of his films , leigh has the cast improvising their characters , with their best , most spontaneous lines becoming the content of the script . so however much research is poured into the roles ( reportedly months for most of the cast members here , and two years for spall , who took the time to learn how to paint ) , ultimately , the scenes that make it onscreen boil down to the imprecise art of chemistry and playacting .
bringing on screen the life & career of one of the most prolific , gifted & distinguished painters to have ever lived , mr . turner could ' ve been a highly fascinating & interesting biopic as the icon it tries to resurrect on the film canvas was considered a highly controversial figure of his era but what it instead turns out to be is a 150 minutes of mostly lifeless cinema that feels twice as long .
mr . turner is much slower moving and less incident - packed than topsy - turvy , leigh’s bawdy and rollicking 1999 backstage comedy about the original production of gilbert and sullivan’s the mikado . especially in the middle hour , there’s a sense of narrative roominess , as if leigh isn’t so much shaping turner’s life into a story as simply letting it unfold before us in a series of everyday vignettes . but mr . turner does resemble topsy - turvy in its meticulous yet vibrant recreation of the past and its ever - expanding thematic amplitude . this is a movie not only about one particular artist , but about art as both a field of human endeavor and an object of shifting cultural and economic value . late in his life , turner’s work began to move toward a kind of proto - abstraction , with broad washes of color so loosely painted they’re all but unrecognizable as landscapes . popular opinion turned against him ( as leigh shows in the form of a mocking music - hall skit ) and his once - coveted paintings ceased to sell like as they used to . but turner’s late style , now recognized as a radical innovation in painting , was praised by a few of his more forward - thinking contemporaries , including the critic john ruskin ( who appears here as an insufferably self - impressed fop played by joshua mcguire ) .

' ' a trial in prague ' ' suggests that it was precisely the idealism and dedication of these people that made them perfect targets for public purging . after yugoslavia strayed from the soviet bloc , stalin wanted to ensure that none of his other satellites would follow suit , and he set out to intimidate their captive populations by making examples of leaders like slansky . of course slansky himself had been preparing his own show trial and had been involved in the repression that followed the communist takeover in 1948 .
“in conclusion , this trial found no difference—not even a trend—favoring staged multivessel pci over culprit - only primary pci in stemi , ” he emphasized . “larger trials are needed to clarify the [ best ] revascularization strategy in stemi patients with multivessel disease . ”

this is a movie i made in prague during my trial . i filmed the footage with a canon eos 60d , edited it with final cut pro x , and wrote the music using reason . i wanted to release a slightly different version of the film right before my judgement was rendered by the court ( the very last shot in this version was not there until after i was pronounced innocent ) . my idea was to show my mind set through film and music during the process of my trial , and have a more ambiguous ending heading into my final day in court . i did not know what was going to happen to me , only that i felt i was doing the right thing by being there . working in a creative capacity during the trial helped me to remain calm - it is what i know how to do , so i wanted to share it with people . i showed the clip to my lawyer and he advised against releasing it until after the trial was over , thinking the authorities might not understand what i was trying to say with the movie . it is all over now , so here is my poor attempt to try and create art in a time of great personal uncertainty .

meta - analyses of the randomized studies comparing ppci and fibrinolysis have shown that the 30 - day absolute mortality reduction is within the range of 2 % to 3 % , 17–19 ie , a benefit similar to the use of fibrinolysis compared with placebo . 20 , 21 in the present long - term follow - up study , a nonsignificant absolute mortality difference of 3 . 5 % based on the 8 - year kaplan–meier estimates was found in the overall cohort . in the referral hospital substudy , the absolute mortality difference of 6 . 6 % reached statistical significance in favor of ppci , whereas in the smaller and prematurely stopped invasive hospital substudy , there was no mortality difference . the curves for cardiac mortality in figure 2 , although not reaching statistical significance , seemed to diverge over time in favor of ppci . none of the randomized studies comparing ppci and fibrinolysis had sufficient power to show a difference on short - term mortality , but all studies showed a trend toward a mortality benefit of ppci . 1–3 five - year follow - up in one of the first randomized trials showed a significant mortality reduction from 24 % in the fibrinolysis arm to 13 % in the ppci arm , 12 whereas 5 - year data from the prague - 2 study 11 and 3 - year data from the danami - 2 study 6 showed nonsignificant absolute differences of 4 . 0 % and 1 . 3 % , respectively , in favor of ppci .
now this initially started in the war zones . they were doing it in yemen , in places like that , because they were looking for particular handsets and then they were aiming missiles at them .

people who developed that solution then moved to a different agency . they’ve been moved to a different area . they started to cross - pollinate government agencies , and internationally . they create a private company that commercializes these products and things like that and suddenly , we see things that were used in very narrow circumstances where there was literally no alternate mechanism for addressing what they claim as a legitimate governmental need for intervention is suddenly being used against everybody in their daily lives as a matter of course .
in the us , this intervention is mainly done by neurosurgeons as well as by radiologists , whereas in europe it is done by radiologists in 90 % to 95 % of cases , and by a few cardiologists , neurologists , or neurosurgeons , widimsky noted to heart wire .

study coauthor dr petr widimsky ( charles university , prague , czech republic ) described the results as offering more freedom to clinicians when selecting an antiplatelet agent for their stemi patients , but others suggested that the design and power of the study made it difficult to draw any firm conclusions .

the benefit of ppci over fibrinolysis was maintained at a long - term follow - up . ppci reduced the risk of reinfarction in the overall cohort and in the referral and invasive hospital substudies and reduced mortality in the referral hospital substudy . this result reinforces that ppci should be offered to stemi patients when interhospital transport to a pci center can be completed within 2 hours .

and if it ' s creating more metadata that’s associated with user preference , they can be intercepted , they can be manipulated , they can be interjected as a stream , this is in general a very bad thing . we need to be able to reduce the amount of metadata that ' s linked on a part of a user ' s communications invisible to them , not increasing .
the procedure is not available everywhere in europe or north america because of lack of expert neuroradiologists , he continued . since there are many more interventional cardiologists than interventional neuroradiologists ,
maybe if cardiologists could train a few months or a year in this procedure and then start to do it , this is faster than training a new neuroradiologist , which takes 7 years ,
he said .
they might be the most enlightened people in the world today , but they might not be in five years , in ten years and the only safe political principle from dealing with that is to focus on safety first .
surgical ablation procedure can restore sinus rhythm ( sr ) in patients with atrial fibrillation ( af ) undergoing cardiac surgery . however , it is not known whether it has any impact on clinical outcomes . there is a need for a randomized trial with long - term follow - up to study the outcome of surgical ablation in patients with coronary and / or valve disease and af . patients are prospectively enrolled and randomized either to group a ( cardiac surgery with left atrial ablation ) or group b ( cardiac surgery alone ) . the primary efficacy outcome is the sr presence ( without any af episode ) during a 24 - hour electrocardiogram after 1 year . the primary safety outcome is the combined end point of death , myocardial infarction , stroke , and renal failure at 30 days . long - term outcomes are a composite of total mortality , stroke , bleeding , and heart failure at 1 and 5 years . we finished the enrollment with a total of 224 patients from 3 centers in 2 countries in december 2011 . currently , the incomplete 1 - year data are available , and the patients who enrolled first will have their 5 - year visits shortly . prague - 12 is the largest study to be conducted so far comparing cardiac surgery with surgical ablation of af to cardiac surgery without ablation in an unselected population of patients who are operated on for coronary and / or valve disease . its long - term results will lead to a better recognition of ablation ' s potential clinical benefits .
so when we think about things like the end to end principle , for example — the idea of a simple core and smart edges — that ' s what we planned for . that ' s what we wanted . that ' s what we expected , but what happened in secret , over a very long period of time was this change to a very dumb edge and a deadly core .
the aim of our trial was to assess the long - term efficacy and safety of surgical ablation compared to pharmacological treatment in a nonselected , typical , realistic population of patients undergoing cabg and / or valve surgery . therefore , no narrow selection criteria were used , and the only exclusion criteria were unwillingness to participate or emergency surgery . our patients underwent a wide variety of surgical procedures . together with a highly heterogeneous nonselected patients set , a comparison of 2 randomized groups ( 1 with and 1 without ablation ) should clarify the real benefits of ablation in real clinical situations . subanalysis will be done according to the types of preoperative af and the types of surgery to show the different effects of ablation relative to different subgroups of patients .
so , yes , everybody knows about that , right , but we need to think about – when we think about identity , when we think about these other things , we need to think about other human rights principles which are very difficult to enforce through national mechanisms , right ? we can pass the best human rights laws in the world in the united states , in the european union , in canada , wherever , it ' s not gonna help people in russia , in china , in brazil , anywhere else .

conclusions transferring patients from community hospitals to a tertiary angioplasty centre in the acute phase of myocardial infarction is feasible and safe . this strategy is associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of reinfarction and the combined clinical end - point of death / reinfarction / stroke at 30 days when compared to standard thrombolytic therapy at the community hospital .

the present study examined long - term outcome after ppci compared with fibrinolysis in the danami - 2 trial . it represents both the longest follow - up and the largest randomized study on this issue performed to date . we found that ppci compared with fibrinolysis carried a sustained reduction in the primary composite end point of death or reinfarction in the overall cohort . in the referral hospital substudy , ppci significantly reduced the composite end point by an absolute 9 . 3 % , all - cause mortality by 6 . 6 % , and reinfarction by 6 . 4 % . our long - term data thus reinforce that ppci should be offered to stemi patients , not only those admitted to an invasive hospital 1 , 2 but also those patients for whom transport from a referral to an invasive hospital can be completed within 2 hours .
these are not things that are crazy . these are not things that are extremely paranoid . these are obvious solutions that are being developed today because they ' re cheap and they ' re easy . this is something you don ' t even need a grad student to do . this is something a couple of bright undergraduates could do in a couple of months .
it ended up a small study , but it ' s a clear indication that there is no obvious clinical difference , and in this case i think we should be grateful for that because i don ' t think that study will be done , ever again .
things scale up in ways that when people are designing the protocols they cannot anticipate .
in recent years , unfortunately , we ' ve seen this happen again and again and again to people who were basically working , precisely with journalists , because you don ' t really see a lot of actual spies . the thing back in the day of people selling out government secrets for money , for personal gain , that ' s really not something that we don ' t have a big clash of ideologies in the world today that motivates that kind of thing that we used to see back in the ‘30s and stuff like that .
but focusing too much on bitcoin , i think , is a mistake . the real solution is again , how do we get to a point where you don ' t have to have a direct link between your identity all of the time ? you have personas . you have tokens that authenticate each person and when you want to be able to interact with people as your persona in your true name , you can do so . when you want to be able to switch to a persona - a common persona , an anonymous persona , a shared persona , you can do that . when you want to move to pseudonymous persona , you can do that .
present and former police officers gathered near the swedish embassy in prague on friday to show their support to swedish policeman , peter springare , who is facing disciplinary sanctions for stating on social media that immigrants are responsible for most the crimes in the country . police officers in sweden are not allowed to record the ethnicity of suspects . however , springare ignored this when he shared his views on a social media platform . lukas heinz , policeman ( czech ) :
we ask for equality before the law for everybody without any difference . peter , we express our support to you and believe strongly that justice is more than crime .
dusan stuchlik , journalist ( czech ) :
falling into the chasm of a loss of freedom starts usually with limiting of freedom of a single man . don ' t allow the policeman peter springare to be the first of them in your country .

we don ' t know what the actual cost is of , for example , losing middleboxes , putting in the middleboxes , all of that stuff that everybody in the room really hates right now , for example , that we’ve seen . if you could help us understand that a little bit better , that would be valuable because it’d allow us to have a more nuanced conversation .
if the idea of an airplane circling a city that ' s manned and has a limited flight time that ' s figuring out what building every handset lives in and then associating what other handsets spend the night in that building with them scares you , think about 20 years from now when there are drones that are powered by solar and are in a persistent orbit doing this 24 / 7 over every major point of presence , so even if you ' re not connected to the internet , they can see that your handset id , that mac address on your macbook or your iphone or whatever has moved from city a to city b to country c to conference d .

the results of major adverse cardiac end points are given in table 2 , and kaplan–meier curves detailing the occurrence of the primary composite end point of all - cause mortality , cardiac mortality , noncardiac mortality , and reinfarction are shown in figure 2 . the composite end point was reached in 37 . 2 % of the patients , and 28 . 1 % died during follow - up . ppci was associated with significantly lower rates of the composite end point than fibrinolysis . this difference was driven mainly by an absolute 6 . 8 % reduction in clinical reinfarction and , to a lesser degree , by a nonsignificant absolute 3 . 5 % reduction in all - cause mortality .
the fibrinolysis group was treated according to the documented optimal standards in 1997 to 2001 . the danami - 2 study had a very low rate of crossover between the 2 groups , and < 50 % of patients in the fibrinolysis arm had pci performed within the first 3 years of follow - up . 6 a recent french registry study found that a strategy with liberal use of early angiography / pci ( 96 % coronary angiography , 84 % pci ) after fibrinolysis yielded 1 - year survival rates that were comparable to rates for ppci . 22 it is thus possible that a strategy of fibrinolysis combined with invasive treatment within 24 hours will be comparable to a strategy of referral for ppci , especially if transport to a hospital with interventional facilities cannot be completed within ≈1 to 2 hours . 16 , 23 however , the french registry data still need confirmation in a randomized design . until such data exist , interhospital transfer for ppci should be the standard treatment , when it can be completed within 120 minutes .
as mentioned in the introduction , there are many types of energy sources that are widely used for creating the lesions : cryo - energy , radiofrequency , microwaves , laser , and high - frequency ultrasound . in addition , different sets of lesions are used in different cardiac surgery departments , from simple pulmonary veins ablation to extensive biatrial lesion sets . finding the best and most effective combination of energy source and lesion set for each patient is a very hot topic for discussion today . in our study , we decided to choose and define the lesion set ( described in the surgical procedure part of the article ) , as it was the standard frequently used method in participating cardiac surgery centers . the energy source was left to each participating center ; however , it was in almost 97 % cryo - energy , again as it represents the most frequently used method in those centers .

edward snowden : one of the biggest challenges , i think , for a free internet , or an open internet , a safe internet for the users is that we have an ability to divorce ourselves from physical identity .
the other ones are inaudible mixed in networks , for example , where we have multiple steps just like tor where they got these mixed inaudible in the bitcoin universe where they tumble the transactions of the bitcoins that go in it to pay for your purchase aren ' t the same bitcoins that go out .
just like we ' ve got a presumption of innocence in courts , we should have that in the community as well . we do have to be careful . we do have to be suspicious , but we should really evaluate people on the basis of their work as opposed to whispered campaigns and things like that .
unfortunately , the internet has many ways of providing a very cheap and effective means of interfering with those rights .
objective evaluation of the benefits and possibilities of surgical ablation among the unselected cardiac surgery candidates with af is difficult . nevertheless , we consider studies in a prospective randomized fashion to be the source of the most objective data .
the primary end point of this long - term follow - up was a composite of death or clinical reinfarction . this primary end - point definition differed from the previously published 30 - day 3 and 3 - year 6 reports in which the composite end point consisted of death , reinfarction , or disabling stroke . the rationale for the different primary end - point definition in the present study was that a clinical diagnosis of disabling stroke ( severe handicap ) could not be extracted from registries and was therefore removed from the present longer - term analysis . secondary end points were all - cause mortality , cardiac mortality , noncardiac mortality , and reinfarction . as in the prior danami - 2 publications , the end points were subsequently analyzed separately in the referral hospital substudy and in the invasive hospital substudy . furthermore , the primary end point was applied on a number of prespecified subgroups .

fast and efficient reestablishment of coronary blood flow is the primary aim in the treatment of st - segment elevation myocardial infarction ( stemi ) . the first studies of fibrinolysis versus primary percutaneous coronary intervention ( ppci ) included only patients admitted directly to hospitals with interventional facilities and demonstrated that ppci reduced a composite end point of death , stroke , and reinfarction . 1 , 2 widespread adoption of ppci was potentially limited by the anticipated delays associated with transfer of patients from noninvasive hospitals to centers with facilities for coronary intervention . the danish acute myocardial infarction 2 ( danami - 2 ) trial compared onsite fibrinolysis with ppci with the majority of patients randomized at hospitals without ppci facilities and thus transported for ppci . 3 this study , the largest of its kind , demonstrated that ppci was superior to fibrinolysis when transport could be accomplished within 2 hours despite a transfer - related treatment delay of 55 minutes . 3 other minor studies have shown similar results . 4 , 5 we have previously shown a persistence in the superiority of ppci over fibrinolysis at a 3 - year follow - up . 6 the present study tested whether the benefit of ppci could be extended to a median follow - up time of 7 . 8 years .
