Not blur AFAIK. But more the fact that the film is a whole frame at once 
(Sorry, we did look at this at Uni about 20 years ago, it's beena  while :).
Similar to an LCD in fact... 

A CRT on the other hand is scanning from top to bottom... So by the time the 
beam gets to the bottom of the screen, the top has started to fade already. 
You can fix this by using a longer persistence phosphor, but that introduces 
ghosting/motion blur.
