Fairy Tales are written in many different forms and different ways. Pulp Fictions are quite a setting for a Fairy Tale. Uga Uga is a Pulp Fiction with it telling the story of how an elderly man is searching for his Grandson and how his Grandson was raised by Indians in the Pantanal of Brazil as an Indian. The Fairy Tale features people going through pain and madness, when it also features wild and tipsy characters. There are so many characters to tell, but it is impossible. The one Fairy Tale setting that makes me so close to the story, besides the Grandfather doing all that is possible to find his Grandson and rid non desirables from his house; is that of a Sergeant and his beloved who he would be separated, from because of a cruel and evil Gangster, threatening his family with death if he did not do a dirty act, so the Sergeant faked his death and fled to live in the Pantanal. The pain that drives through his Girlfriend and haunts her always, also makes her strong in wanting to defend the son that she had with the Sergeant, but hid in identity from the world, by posing him as her brother; and that part of the story and the longing for her to see her dear Sargeant again, make me love the Fairy Tale more and more. It is when they find each other not once but twice, once again, that Uga Uga comes full circle in many areas, but as far as the other tales are concerned, they are intermarried, for the Grandfather finds his Grandson via the Sergeant, and his mother marries the Grandfather, but that is a totally different story that must be told by the tale itself; while his brother also marries a tipsy but loving Girl, who's story is connected to a " Runaway Bride" and the Grandfather's house. I recommend Uga Uga on many levels, and as for the scenes of Rio de Janeiro and the Pantanal, that are seen in the Novela, they are as beautiful as the tale itself, which is a tale that is also about the madness of life in Rio.
