Why is it impossible to observe the actual movements of the stars?

Because none of us live long enough. Even a few centuries of observation is not enough to notice the movement of most stars. In fact, there is only one star for which any movement might be noticed over the course of a very long life; Barnard's Star, sometimes called the "runaway star".
Barnard's Star is unique not only in that it is quite close to our Sun, as interstellar distances go, but it is moving much faster than most other stars.
