Excerpts from Wikipedia:
This distinction is important. For example, a man M can be sexually/romantically attracted to a feminine ideal; but, in practice, some men may exhibit some of the charecterestics that are a part of that feminine ideal, and consequently, in practice he (M) may be attracted to such men. According to wiki's definition this would make this man bisexual. It seems to me that this man is not an exception, but the common case(?)
I know I have not considered the second definition in detail; I have not even defined what I mean by a masculine/feminine sex ideal.
- Bisexuality is a sexual orientation which refers to the romantic and/or sexual attraction of individuals to other individuals of both their own and the opposite sex or gender.

Bergman is no more.
I have seen 3 of his films: wild strawberries, persona and seventh seal.
The first film is one of my favourites and had a profound impact in my life. I am still trying to understand persona, but it "clearly is a great film".
