Why am I not able to do two things at the same time? I find it hard concentrating on two different things at the same time. For example why can’t I read and see a movie at the same time?

Of course you can! You can, with one in your subconscious working away but if you mean thinking in words, I don’t think you can, because it would be like saying two separate sentences at the same time. Sometimes sublimating one thought will cause a solution to appear seemingly spontaneously (when actually your brain didn’t completely stop thinking of it).
Actually you can, the brain just tend to prioritize a thing over the other. For example, I’m thinking about what to type, while typing right now. I’m also in a class undergoing a training. Usually, when “thinking” your brain is focusing on the most relevant thing.
