Like the attraction of a moving picture (5)
I believe the answer is:
fatal
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the attraction of a moving picture' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fal' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fatal that I've seen before include "Involving death" , "Bringing death" , "Death-dealing" , "Unavoidable" , "Resulting in disaster or death" .)
