The U symbol stands for Universal. A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. However, it is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child, especially at this lower end of the category range.
The board currently issues four certificates. Originally, there were two: U (unrestricted public exhibition with family-friendly movies) and A (restricted to adult audiences but any kind of Nudity not allowed).
What does U stand for? A film with a 'U' certificate means it's suitable for children aged 4 and older. The 'U' itself stands for Universal and the text underneath the 'U' rating states that it's suitable for all, as this is the age that most children begin to remember things such as film and TV.
The U stands for universal and is applied to movies suitable for most ages. These movies should be positive in tone and should make clear differences between right and wrong. There should be no dangerous behaviour that children can copy and, at most, there may be occasional very mild bad language.
- Stands for 'Unrestricted', which means everybody is permitted to watch the film. The Big 'UA' - Stands for 'Unrestricted with Caution', which means parental guidance is required for viewers under the age of 12.
ALL: which is equivalent to U – Universal, suitable for all. GUIDANCE: which is equivalent to PG – Parental Guidance. TEEN: which is equivalent to 12 – Over 12. MATURE: which is equivalent to 15 – Over 15. ADULT: which is equivalent to 18 – Over 18.
A user agent (UA) is a software element that acts on behalf of a user.
R: Restricted - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or guardian. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated movies unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian 25 years of age or older.
Children under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian over the age of 21 for R-rated movies. I.D. is required for proof of age. Children under 6 years of age are not permitted into R-rated features at all.
A+ Rated windows can achieve U-values of 1.2 W/m2.
Mature (M)
M-rated films and computer games are not recommended for children under the age of 15. They include portrayals of elements such as violence and themes that require a mature outlook. However, children under the age of 15 may legally access this material as the classification rating is an advisory category.
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and/or strong language.
It: Chapter Two is rated R by the MPAA for disturbing violent content and bloody images throughout, pervasive language, and some crude sexual material. Violence: Several people of varying ages are eaten by the clown. A number of assaults occur, involving punching, kicking, stabbing, and general beating.
PG stands for parental guidance.
That means that anyone can watch the film, but it's different from a U rating because children under eight, or more sensitive children, might find something about the film upsetting.
The TV Parental Guidelines include two elements: an age-based rating that provides guidance about the age group for which a program is appropriate, and content descriptors indicating that a program may contain suggestive dialogue (D), coarse or crude language (L), sexual situations (S), or violence (V).
R: RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
According to the Motion Picture Association, the PG-13 label means the movie is fine for kids over the age of thirteen. It may not, however, be appropriate for children under thirteen because of language, violence, nudity, and other mature content.
Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult.
Parental guidance suggested for more mature themes. Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13.
Forbid all R-rated movies until your child is 13 years old.
If your child is 13 to 16 years old, carefully consider his maturity and sensitivity when you are deciding whether he is ready to view some of these movies with you. Don't allow your child to see movies with graphic personal or sexual violence before age 17.
