Or one can have character analysis "files" on each character: where do they come from, what are their abilities, what are they trying to do. And what are the relations between characters - and how they change during the story. A bad movie doesn't have any of that continuity or relatability of course. But the AI would need to generate such and multiple other higher level structures and then match the visual imagery with it - maybe the pixel level visuals are actually the easy part. Google translate from say Mongolian to Finnish doesn't work by applying pairs learned from reading Mongolian-Finnish translations. It also doesn't work by translating first to English and then to Finnish. It translates all languages first to an internal representation, and then to the target language. This kind of structured internal representation of the world and human life is what's still missing from an AI, and it can't be learned just from watching movies.
