1. Kuyini ‘Mthandi's Rock' mayelana?
Yahlala eNtshonalanga London ngeminyaka yawo-1980, Lovers Rock ulandela intokazi okuthiwa u-Martha (Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn), enyonyoba ukuze iye ephathini ye-Blues nomngane wayo oseduze, u-Patty (Shaniqua Okwok). Umbuthano wokuzijabulisa (ohlelwa abantu abaNsundu abanqatshelwe ukungena kuma-nightclub amhlophe) uqhubeka amahora amaningi ubusuku bonke, futhi phakathi nemikhosi, uMarta ushaya insizwa ebukekayo okuthiwa uFranklyn (Micheal Ward).
Ifilimu emfushane cishe ihora ubude, futhi lezi zenzakalo zonke zenzeka ngobusuku obubodwa. Ngeke nginikeze imininingwane eminingi kakhulu, kodwa mina intando usho lokho Lovers Rock ikude nokwejwayelekile kwakho, ukugijima komshini indaba yothando . Kuzwakala njengephathi yasendlini egxilile, ngaphandle kwalesi simo, kukhona umdanso oshisayo, izingoma ze-'80s reggae kanye nephunga lokudla kwase-Jamaican okubabayo. (Iqiniso elijabulisayo: Isihloko sefilimu empeleni sibhekisele ku-Lovers Rock, uhlobo oluncane lomculo we-reggae olwaduma phakathi nawo-1970 futhi lwaziwa ngomsindo walo ovusa inkanuko nokuqukethwe kwezothando.)

Kalula nje, Lovers Rock izizwa njengencwadi yothando eya kunoma ubani ofisa okuqukethwe okwengeziwe ngobuhle nenjabulo yabaMnyama. UMcQueen akakushayi indiva ukungezwani kwezinhlanga okusekhona nanamuhla (kwesinye isigcawu, uMarta unocingo oluseduze lapho ehlangana neqembu lamadoda amhlophe ebusuku), nokho, uyakwazi ukugudluza ababukeli agxile emphakathini wabaNsundu kanye neqembu labo. uzophumelela kuleyo ndawo. Njengoba kubonakala kuyo yonke ifilimu, bayaziqhenya futhi abanalo icala njengoba bezidedela endaweni yabo encane ephephile.
Ngajabulela ezinye zezikhathi ezilula ngoba zingikhumbuze eyami ingane, kusukela kubapheki ababecula njengoba benza izitsha zeCaribbean kuCynthia ecindezela izinwele zakhe ngekama elishisayo. Ngangithanda kakhulu ukubona isixuku sihlanya njengoba u-DJ enza umlingo wakhe. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngangingakwazi hhayi yeka ukuqunjelwa uMartha noFranklyn. Abazange bashintshane ngamazwi lapho beqala ukuhlangana, kodwa bebuka i-chemistry yabo endaweni yokudansa, umuntu angacabanga ukuthi sebeneminyaka eminingi bethandana.
