Think of it like a flipbook.

A movie is a completed flipbook, you’re just flipping through and seeing the end result.

A video game is like a blank flipbook, you have to draw every picture in the book as you go to get an end result.

Drawing those pictures takes a long time, video games do that as you sit there and wait for it to draw, movies do it before you ever see the movie and just show you the end result.
