Hardboiled film - Hardboiled film (English spelling)

Japanese: ハードボイルド映画 - ハードボイルドえいが(英語表記)hardboiled‐detective film
Hardboiled film - Hardboiled film (English spelling)
It is said that the English word "hard-boiled" first took on the nuance of being ruthless or cruel in the late 19th century, but in America it began as a literary term and was later adapted to film as well, with films that have a ruthless or cruel touch being given this name. As the typical protagonist is a lone-wolf private detective, the film was given the name "hard-boiled detective film" and came to be regarded as a genre in its own right, a variation of the detective film.

Japanese:
〈ハードボイルド〉という英語に〈非情な〉〈冷酷な〉というニュアンスが生じたのは19世紀末であるといわれているが,アメリカでは文学の用語から映画にも使われるようになり,非情,冷酷なタッチの映画がこの名で呼ばれ,その典型的な主人公が一匹狼的な私立探偵であることから,〈ハードボイルド・ディテクティブ・フィルム〉と命名され,探偵映画(ディテクティブ・フィルム)の変種として一つのジャンルとみなされるに至った。
