The Midnight After Full Movie
Karoline Oum
Seventeen people board a Hong Kong minibus which is going from Mong Kok to Tai Po. The driver Suet, Yau Tsi-chi and Yuki, who are visiting their respective dates; Fat, an aging gangster; Mook Sau-ying, a fortune-telling insurance salesperson; Shun, a computer technician; Pat and Bobby, a married couple; Blind Fai, a drug addict; Au Yeung Wai, a music store salesperson; Lavina, a quiet, buck-toothed woman; Airplane and Glu-Stick, rowdy boys; and university students Tsing, Peter, Dawg, and Hung. As the minibus enters Lion Rock Tunnel, Fat notices the traffic seemingly disappear, and several other passengers remark upon how quiet the streets have become. The university students leave on the first stop, and one of them immediately becomes ill.
By the second stop, the passengers come to believe they are the only people remaining in Hong Kong. They propose various explanations, though Mook insists destiny has brought them together to experience a paranormal event. Before leaving, the passengers exchange phone numbers. Yau and Yuki leave together, and as Yuki talks about missing her boyfriend, Yau sees a man in a gas mask, though he keeps this from Yuki. After she leaves, Yau encounters the university students, all of whom have now become ill. They beg him for help as they melt before him. Yau swerves to avoid them on his bicycle as he speeds past, and the last remaining student curses him as he dies. Yau crosses the tunnel to return home but finds nobody there.
Each of the passengers receives a phone call comprising noises and mechanical screeches. They meet at a diner to discuss it, where Shun reveals he has performed audio analysis on it. He decodes English phrases that Au Yeung recognizes as lyrics from David Bowie's song "Space Oddity". No one understands its significance, though Mook continues to insist on a paranormal interpretation. After each describes their background, Au Yeung bursts into flames from the explosion by his electronics and dies. Spooked, Yau describes the man in a gas mask, though Yuki claims not to have been with him at the time. Yau spots another man in a gas mask, and he, Bobby, and Fat chase after the man.
Before catching him, they discover Lavina's body, surmising that she was raped before dying of a possibly-contagious illness. The man, revealed to be Japanese, claims through a mobile translation app to be there to save them and a former classmate of Yau's. Yau denies knowing him. As the Japanese man escapes, he says something about "fuku", which they speculate could be a reference to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Before returning with the others, Yau receives a phone call from his girlfriend, Yi, in which she claims he has disappeared for six years. The call ends abruptly as she makes oblique references to Major Tom and Tai Mo Shan.
Bobby suddenly dies shortly after Yau's return. Fat sends Suet to retrieve and refuel his bus upon learning of Yi's phone call. On the way, Suet is forced to kill a zombified Blind Fai with a cleaver. On Suet's return, Glu-Stick accuses Airplane of raping Lavina, who was an attractive thief in disguise. Glu-Stick says Lavina died mysteriously during her rape, but, undeterred by her death, Airplane continued assaulting her. Disgusted, the others discuss banishing Airplane, though Pat demands Airplane be killed for spreading Lavina's infection and causing Bobby's death. Yau reluctantly agrees, and each ritually stabs Airplane to death, except for Glu-Stick.
While Shun and Glu-Stick disposes of Airplane's body, Airplane suddenly revives. Shun argues his attack was the least vicious and offers to help Airplane get revenge on his killers. Airplane agrees, only to be killed again by Shun. As they board the minibus to go to Tai Mo Shan, the group sees more gas-masked people accompanied by armour. Two of the armour ram the minibus, but the damaged vehicle escapes and continues on its journey. After becoming annoyed with Glu-Stick, they briefly banish him before allowing him back in, along with Fai, who is inexplicably still alive. As they drive toward Tai Mo Shan, a red rain falls on the minibus, and several passengers experience regret at leaving Tai Tai Po and back to Kowloon.
Taipei Trends wrote, "The immense contrast and ridiculously inappropriate reactions from the characters to what is going on around them, as well as the strong personalities from each of them really sets the mood in a good way."[11][self-published source?] However, it also added, "While the film continues to entertain, it soon becomes apparent that none of the mysteries that have been built-up will ever be answered."[11]
Critically reflective of the changes witnessed after the economic liberalization and waves of globalization, the artists and works chosen for the contemporary section of After Midnight distinguish the exhibition not as a sweeping survey, but instead as an exploration of the particular avant-garde impetus within the two historical periods of Indian art. It seeks to engage with art practices that carry dialogues and questions emerging from an Indian context to be located within the larger global framework.
The contemporary element of After Midnight can be characterized as self-reflexive in its collective criticality towards the effects of globalization in India. The works represent issues which are at the core of the nation, including the rise of fundamentalism/fascism, environmental issues, and urbanization. The works of these 18 artists emphatically assert a new ethical underpinning.
In From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf, 2013, the art collaborative CAMP takes viewers on a journey to experience friendship and maritime histories, and to share the economies of exchange between artists and a group of sailors from Kutch, Sindh, Baluchistan and Southern Iran. This work shows a world that is not so easily cut up by nation-states, but rather under threat by globalization and required to set up new boundaries and protocols.
After Midnight illuminates avant-garde practices within two historical moments of Indian art through the juxtaposition of post-independence and globalization as experienced in India. With this group of contemporary artists poised as the phoenix, ready to rise from the ashes of the internationalism experienced by the Progressives, the challenges that lie ahead for India as a nation come into focus.

I havent had any issues over the year that ive had both cameras set up. I use a schedule to turn my cameras on and off, this schedule was initially created when i initially set the system up, and hasnt changed since. The schedule is this:
I then created the schedule to stop at 23:59pm and begin again at 00:00 instead of going to 00:00 then 00:00. i think the schedule was getting confused between the two being that they were essentially the same.
MWARD1308 - if i were you i would consider amending your schedules that cross over at midnight to end a minute before midnight and then begin again at midnight. it worked for me. hopefully it will for you too.
I am having the exact same issue. No matter how I set up my schedule, after midnight it always reverts to Disarm. This is completely unacceptable. At the time I want to rely on my system the most (at night) it fails me because of a software issue with scheduling. This has been reported in other topics of discussion but it is still not resolved. One moderator advised that the problem was fixed a few days ago but it has not been fixed.
I have three Arlo systems in three separate locations. I am disappointed at the lack of responsiveness from Netgear about these issues. I have considered adding extra cameras but at this point, I am considering selling these and starting over with another brand. I have to be able to rely on my security system.
Rather than continuing to "try this, try that," reset the system. Remove all devices from Settings, My Devices. Use the Add Device button on the Devices tab to claim the base. Sync the cameras. Update any firmware if prompted as you go. Rebuild everything.
Completely understood. The catch is that a reset would be faster then waiting for a response and trying thingsbthat bdon't fix the problm. I don't suggest this lightly, just trying to reduce the time and effort in fixing things.
I have two modes that I use with scheduling, DAY and NIGHT. During the day (0700-1900) I have all of the cameras set to a lower sensitivity. At night (1900-0700) the sensitivity increases and I also have notifications turned on so that I receive an email with any activity. That makes it easier to review motion events in the morning. I have attempted to set the schedule seven days a week with the following hours:
Every time midnight rolls around in that configuration the system is automatically disarmed. The hours of 0000-0700 are the hours where I need reliable coverage the most and having the cameras go into a disarmed state is simply not acceptable. I have found a workaround that is not ideal, but it seems to be getting me by for now. If I use the schedule 0000-0700 NIGHT and 0700-2359 DAY the system seems to stay armed as programmed through the night. My cameras are not as sensitive as I would like during the initial dark hours, but this is better than being disarmed altogether.
