yes you are <| sep |> NY cares about the front plate . He may have the front plate hidden below or he may just be paying for a lot of missing front plate tickets . <| sep |> Yeah , I can ' t see it either for reasons you mention . After Spartacus I ' m pretty confident Kubrick vowed to never do anything like that again and most importantly he had no actual reason to . Howard Hawks and Nicholas Ray are better suggestions had they lived the absurdly long lifetime they ' d have needed to see into this generation then I could have pictured it . Both of those guys actually valued the source material less IMO and the interpretationvision as the key thing too . <| sep |> Thank you so much for this story . I hope it brings some hope to others . It had certainly brought me hope .
