Yeah; I've seen that advice. I don't find it surprising. Wells' story
wouldn't exactly be politically correct in a Hollywood that is trying
to uphold the glories of the American Way.  It was a  rather  radical
tale for its time.  And for this time, for that matter.

(But I haven't seen the movie, so what do I know? ;-)
