Widescreen is a 16X9 aspect ratio, the same as most TVs today, computer screens, etc. So if you watch something in widescreen, it fills up the screen. It is called widescreen, because the aspect ratio of video and movies used to be 4X3 (the older square TVs). Anamorphic widescreen is typically 2.35:1 aspect ratio. This is where you get the black bars above and bellow the screen. That size is the standard size for cinema screens, and this is the size movies are filmed with.
