he wants to tell the movie actors how to improve.

he wants to watch more motion pictures.

Explanation:

Buddy thought about the actors' wonderful performances. The motion picture studio was a place related to these actors. So he likely wanted to be part of that world (become a performer). There's no indication he wants to tell actors how to improve (no such context in paragraphs).
