A masterpiece of goodness Do not buy the priceless without parting with the expensive. © Sergey Malyoshin
Sometimes in an endless series of everyday life, we stop noticing the simplest and most obvious things. For example, that money is not the only thing worth living for, or that high status in society is not the quality that makes a person human. The most important thing is that behind the bright facade of prosperity and artificial beauty you can find sincerity and kindness. In the world of business, whatever it is associated with, this topic is more relevant than anywhere. Betrayal for profit, flattery for well-being, humiliation for survival - what only people do not go in pursuit of ghostly ideals, believing that happiness awaits them somewhere ahead, you just need to get to it. In this case, all means are good to push your own “I” forward. Everyone forgets that “one in the field is not a warrior.” Without support, no one has ever won. And will you be happy to stay on top of fame alone?
In the case of Fumio Kindaichi, one could say that the poor fellow was unlucky. To be left without a job, without a home, without funds, without pride is the most unexpected and unpleasant ending for any person who has never denied himself anything before. However, before complaining about the unjust punishment of life, you should first look closely at who it was directed at. Namely, to find out how difficulties affected his consciousness and his actions. So, Kindaichi, having fallen to his ears in poverty, was faced with a choice - to dutifully fold his legs and just swim with the flow, or stand up, shake off and go on with his head held high. Not only did his future depend on this choice, but also our perception of Kindaichi as a hero. Now, the true essence manifests itself on the threshold of despair. This impoverished man of forty, with no plans for life, who dreams of drinking cold beer and earning 500 yen for the night, did not break down and did not go to drown the mountain in a bottle. Why? Because only the strong are given the most difficult tests. For what? So that they can change the world for the better. Let not all, but small scales do not detract from the dignity of effort.

For some, poverty is the end of a full life. You can get used to it. And eventually, degrade. But for some, it's a new opportunity, a challenge to yourself. That was Fumio Kindaichi. Faith in the best, optimism and charm became his hallmark in the world of ordinary people. It seems that the appearance of Kindaichi in their lives is the best thing that could happen to them. So it makes no sense to talk about forced poverty as a punishment. A person who has become a guiding star for others can be safely called a lucky one. As a gift for his good deeds, he received the best: priceless time spent in the company of friends; priceless ideas that dramatically changed the lives of many; priceless life wisdom that money cannot buy. Concern for others returned to him in the form of support from two fellow misfortunes, Kengo Moai and Sai Nikaido. Once former colleagues became a support for him in this difficult reality. As they say, one head is good and three are even better.
Takuya Kimura, Kiichi Nakai and Karina were one of the best screen trios. The life of their heroes was not only interesting to watch, but also instructive. Three completely different people who, not only have to huddle under the same roof, but also need to somehow earn a living together, will teach not only patience and the ability to adapt, but also prove that friendship can also move mountains. Despite the fact that the series raises themes of injustice and poverty, it does not bring depression. On the contrary, from the first to the last series, humor and kindness flow from the screen. The name Takuya Kimura in the lead roles initially tunes in to the fact that the series or film will be, at least, good. In this case, it turned out that the project was just great. First of all, it's comedy. Yes, the heroes have life difficulties, but it is impossible to look at the troubles they constantly get into without laughter. Secondly, it is a strong motivator for the future. No matter what happens in life, you should never give up. Absolutely not. Kindaichi will set an example of how not to give up and not to be discouraged. Thirdly, although there was a little romance here, but still it was. Unobtrusive and very nice. It looks like Kimura is nowhere without love.
And the most cloudy day, and bad mood – all this can easily brighten up, just watching this wonderful series. The story of Fumio Kindaichi will not leave anyone indifferent, be sure.
As long as there is at least one good person around, you do not lose faith in humanity. © Tagui Semirjian
