Reply to comment by BigNics in How can you tell that a movie is pretentious? by Chemical-Contest-150

This comment is the perfect example of how that word is misused. That has nothing to do with what pretentious means

Without searching it up, it’s extra implied meaning or importance to a message where there isn’t much or is at all. Pretentiousness isn’t confusing movies, but they can be. edit: spelling

The importance of the message is implied but the actual meaning is muddled.
