text: what is the first thing you remember when you hear the word "brazil"? please register your age and place of birth. terry gilliam's brilliant film of the same name.  ok, i didn't plan this but as i answered your question i noticed your subtext: "please register your age and place of birth." i just had to laugh. the film 'brazil' (1985) is about a futuristic, totalitarian police state. and here you are inexplicably requesting personal information from your answerers?! is anyone else seeing the irony here? lmao  the astonishing thing is that most are actually complying. guess who is not? ;)
