Why theater? continued

Okay, so after reading Amadeus I came up with another reason why people still go to theaters: the method of character development. Movies can't usually get away with monologues and asides, and this prevents viewers from truly getting into the characters' heads. Would Amadeus really have been worth watching, reading or even writing if the audience were not privy to Salieri's innermost thoughts? Doubtful.
