"If summer doesn't sing in you, then nothing sings in you. And if nothing sings in you, then you can't make music." Alyssa and Sunny are so, so wrong about the movie. It is not about how much Bernstein likes men, it's about his struggle to express his full self. Felicia's story is a reflection of this, too. In the movie, she shrinks to make room for Leonard and his affairs, his personality, and it causes the summer to die in her. They reconcile because only they fully understand one another. It is NOT about how gay he was.

The whole thing is a metaphor for artistic and self expression! My god!
