Movie vs Drama (theatre)

I would like to say that I love watching movie very much. I enjoy watching horror, animation, comedy, action and thriller movies. But sometimes they cost me a lot.
But, what are the differences between movie and drama(theater)?.In movie, the actors are not performing live in front of the audience. Their performance is delayed. They only record into film. There are no audience while they are acting, except the director and the crews. Drama@theatre is performing live in front of the audience. There is no such thing as pauses in drama. While the actors are acting, they cannot stop until the end of the session even though there are some mistakes or the actor forgetting his lines. Computer graphic image (CGI) cannot be use in drama because it is live. I would like to say that the audience in movie sometimes being fooled by CGI. It may sound harsh but, this is reality.
The director in drama does nothing during the show. He cannot interrupt and tell anything to the actors. On the other hand, the movie director is totally dominant. He may stop whenever he wants.
Whatever the differences are, they both are part of arts. We as a human being should appreciate the beauty of the arts and enjoy them.
