Yes, de Gaulle (at least that's who it was attributed to) said "Brazil is the country of future... and always will be."
I don't think this is necessarily true.
We've come a LOOOONG way from where we were.
When we left in 1985, we were only just getting our democracy back, inflation was at 10,000% and crime was rampant.
Crime is still (albeit) less rampant. Inflation is below 10%, and we have a working democracy.
And actually, Brazilians think American women are more attractive on the whole. They think all American women are buxom blondes... because they only know America from the movies and TV shows.

Dom Petro, are you Brazilian or American? Because you say "we have a working democracy" and then "because they only know America from our movies and TV shows".
Just a little confused.

Speaking of Brazil:
Say What? Man with Ear Ache Gets Vasectomy
Thu August 21, 2003 08:32 AM ET
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - A Brazilian man who went to a clinic to have an aching ear checked ended up having a vasectomy after mistakenly believing that the doctor had called his name.
A manager at the Doctor Jose Carlos de Espirito Santo clinic in the town of Montes Claros in southeastern Minas Gerais State told Reuters on Wednesday Valdemar Lopes de Moraes, 39, entered the vasectomy room when Aldemar Aparecido Rodrigues' name was called.
"He was called by the full name and yet thought it was him. But the strangest thing is that he asked no questions when the doctor started preparations in the area which had so little to do with his ear," Vanessa Guimaraes said.
"He later explained that he thought it was an ear inflammation that got down to his testicles," she added.
De Moraes, a farmer who has two children, did not want to reverse the operation, performed last week, and showed up for an ear exam on Wednesday at the same clinic.
"A local newspaper said he is going to sue us, but he did not tell us about any claims," Guimaraes said.

So, so. I mean, yeah, it's monty python, yeah, it's 1984, and there are some great scenes with de Niro, but overall, the movie does not have that thing that makes it a good movie, which is ... uh, you know. Anyway, 3 out of 10 imho. Viewable, but thats all.
