BUt what struck me was the silence, and not just the movie goers, everybody outside suddenly was quiet too.

This was the same situation that I noticed when leaving the theater tonight. No one spoke. As a matter of fact, no one left their seats immediately, even after the lights came on. There was open weeping. I heard sniffles. As we all walked out in silence, those in the lobby were scanning our faces in silence as if they were looking for assurance that it was ok to go in behind us. I also noticed that no one looked anyone in the eye. Each person was internalizing what they had just experienced.

One thng I did notice that really touched me is that when we were leaving there were two younger boys and a younger girl weeping and embracing. They couldn't have been any older than 17 or so. As people walked out they simply patted the kids as if to encourage them but they didn't disturb them. That was very moving.
