Actually that is because of the aspect used in filming. TV are 16x9, somwhere around 1.78:1,but film is usually shot in widescreen 1.85:1 or cinemacope 2.35:1. When that aspect is shown on a tv it is "squeezed" into 1.78:1 so you get the top and bottom black lines in order not to crop the sides (btw, if you want, you can crop them using the tv's aspect or zoom functions, but why would you).
Nice breakdown. Love your enthusiasm. I'll stick around to see if A7S users start a riot. Lol
I hope everyone is having a safe and wonderful day! 😃💙 #NotificationSquad

I have one question, why is it more common to see in movies the black lines (one on top and one bottom) that makes the picture wider but shorter?
Great question!
