Due to this symbolic meaning of fireplaces, it’s no surprise that they are often used as a key setting for scenes in films. Depending on the kind of movie, the fireplace can heighten an atmosphere with a sense of fear, lull the audience into a fall sense of security, or be used for a romantic scene.
