In short, Answer to your questions:

  • Yes
  • Movie A is near to center of the plot. Its the most balanced movie from your collection. (Biplot's center reflects the average of PCA scores: neither positive nor negative).
  • PC1 scores are positively correlated with with Romantic/ Comedy and negatively with Action movies. PC0 is mostly negatively correlated with Drama movies.

Consider a movie that balances action, drama, comedy, and romance.

Where would it likely be in this chart?
