Because it’s still played back at 24 (or 30) frames per second. If you played it at 1000fps, it would be in real time.
So it’s probably more correct to say that you /can/ play back film in slow motion – without having gaps, or losing information between frames – if you have a source recorded with much higher framerate. Than saying you’re filming slow-motion. Because you’re not filming slow-motion. You’re filming really fast, to play it back at a much slower pace than it was filmed at.
