A great comedy movie with Jean Reno and Ryoko Hirosue.
Can't count how many times I watched that movie all those years.

Aldi80s 🇯🇵 アルディ on Gab: 'I've been thinking about the incident yesterday i…'

Aldi80s 🇯🇵 アルディ on Gab: 'I've been thinking about the incident yesterday involving Ryoko Hirosue. From what we know, she caused a car accident, was hospitalized, and then became aggressive towards the doctors, leading to her arrest. There's no further information about the incident at this time. This situation has become controversial because Ryoko is a well-known celebrity in Japan. She started as a teen star in the late 1990s and gained fame after appearing in the 2001 French movie "Wasabi" alongside Luc Reno. Ryoko has been an idol to me since I discovered her in the late 1990s with her song ジーンズ」 "Jeans" in 1998 when she was just 17 or 18 years old. It was the movie "Wasabi" that made me a big fan, and I became more interested in her music than her movies (honestly, I've only watched two of her films). The biggest controversy she faced was her adultery in 2023, which led to her being fired from her agency. She decided to start her own agency and continue her career, but sadly, she hasn't been as famous lately. Even for me, I've lost interest since I'm stuck in the past, preferring the "cute idol from the 1990s" (for example, I only post her old pictures). Now, after all these problems, I think about how hard it is to face the reality of being a public figure, constantly under the world's scrutiny while growing up, forming a worldview, and being accepted or rejected when expressing oneself. It's a significant responsibility to consider one's speech and actions and face the consequences. I'm sure Ryoko has stress that causes her to make poor choices. I'm not defending her; I'm just saying that, like all of us at any social level, we have a code to respect and follow. Still, in some cases, people like her cannot manage the limitations, not only because of being a public figure but also due to their lack of social and moral commitments. That's my point of view. I feel sorry for her, but she made the decision and chose the consequences. According to Japanese law, she may face a substantial fine or up to 15 years in prison. The assault she committed was aggravated and witnessed by people there, so she was caught in the act and arrested. I hope the Japanese justice system will be merciful to her, considering the past mess that may still affect her today. #Japan #RyokoHirosue #広末涼子'
