You keep forgetting that "the movies" is not real life. 
Do you ever go to live theatre where the art of story telling has even more
constraints? If you did then you would understand that sometimes the technical
problems lead to compromise. What is the point of having a role of thunder when
people are speaking? The audience would not be able to hear the words. Should a
film of a 24 hour storyline last a day?
It seems to me that you object to artistic licence in the movies.
