Yes, in fact we have a demonstration
here on display. The only way to fit a long
rectangular movie screen inside a square TV
screen is to place black bars at the top and
bottom. This is the widescreen edition, and it
preserves the entire image. The so-called full
screen versions cut off the sides of the movie
screen in order to fill up the TV. The dotted
lines on this picture indicate where someone has
cut the image, so you can't even see the shark,
only the boat. "Full screen" is
actually misleading, since the widescreen edition
is the only one which indeed shows the full
screen. So I would certainly recommend the
widescreen edition.
