With no explanation, label text_A→text_B with either "DON'T KNOW", "NO" or "YES".
text_A: Jordan allowed the film to be released, as did other Arab nations, and it received a mixed reception. Egypt, Omar Sharif's home country, was the only Arab nation to actively market the film's release, where it became a success through the endorsement of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who appreciated the film's depiction of Arab nationalism.
text_B: Given that some people praised the film's depictions of Arab nationalism, while others found it to be disrespectful, does this passage suggest that the relatively cosmopolitan society of Beirut might have seen academic debates and informal discourse among everyday cinema-goers about the movie that was nonetheless popular around the world?
YES.
