"R-rated" refers to a classification given to films by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) in the United States. This rating indicates that the movie contains material that may be inappropriate for viewers under 17 years old. Such content can include strong language, graphic violence, sexual content, or drug use. Parents are strongly cautioned to provide guidance for younger viewers. Movies with an R-rating often appeal to adult audiences, as they can explore more mature themes and complex narratives. Examples of popular R-rated films include Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, and Deadpool. These films often push creative boundaries, allowing filmmakers to address serious topics without restrictions.
