Why Caberet style instead of Acting?


Okay I love this musical on stage but big question.

Why did they decide to do this movie caberet style instead of just acting it out? I think it could have been much better if they actually played their roles in realistic scenes.

Because doesn't that kind of break the 4th wall and make viewers detach from the characters?

I think if they redid this and actually showed the scenes it would be great.
