Brazil on Encyclopedia.com Brazil's vast territory covers a great variety of land and climate, for although Brazil is mainly in the tropics (it is crossed by the equator in the north and by the Tropic of Capricorn in the south), the southern part of the great central upland is cool and yields the produce of temperate lands. Brazil drew little benefit from either; far more important were the rise of postwar discontent in the military and beginnings of the large-scale European immigration that was to make SE Brazil the economic heart of the nation. The ports of the colony were freed of mercantilist restrictions, and Brazil became a kingdom, of equal status with Portugal. www.encyclopedia.com /html/section/brazil_history.asp   (4310 words)

History of Brazil (1985-present) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although Brazil is today South America's leading economic power and the world's ninth largest economy, highly unequal income distribution, which had been at the root of political conflict throughout Brazilian history, especially during the Vargas years, remains a pressing problem.

Brazil: Criterion Collection (1985) Brazil is the sort of movie that you tout to all your friends, and which you then scream at them if they didn't also think it was brilliant. As with the best films, Brazil is a fluid piece that leaves itself open to differing sorts of interpretation; your view of it may not much resemble that of mine, but neither is necessarily correct.

BRAZIL (Movie, 1985) Frequently Asked Questions v1.3 BRAZIL is a film which rolls up many of the problems of the century into one big plot: industrialization, terrorism, government control and bureaucracy (from both capitalist and socialized countries), technology gone wrong, inept repair people, plastic surgery, love, and even modern filmmaking. BRAZIL was part two, the fantasist as a young man, and BARON MUNCHAUSEN closes the series with its story about an old man who, through the innocence and open mindedness of a small girl, regains his belief in magic. Both BRAZIL and MUNCHAUSEN's plots and themes echo the events surrounding the making of those films, so at the very least the films can be viewed as a loose cinematic interpretation of however Terry Gilliam was feeling at the stage in his life when he wrote those films. www.faqs.org /faqs/movies/brazil-faq   (7009 words)

IB 320 Country Report - Brazil Brazil's historical and political foundations of the past and present are characterized by the cleavage between its great potential and political instability. Brazil's economic history has been one of a succession of booms followed by recessions, as it was challenged by other sources of supply where more intensive methods of production were applied.
