Widescreen and Black bars?? - Blu-ray Forum

Ok im just curious but why are there black bars on a widescreen tv?
There are no bars when watching the movie in theater on the wide projection so why would there be when watching on a widescreen tv?

I understand the aspect ratios and all that for standard tvs but do not understand them for widescreens. Any advice or answers would be greatly appreciated.
