Actually that's the point

207.81.75.114

in a way of what Tarantino manages to muster from some of his films. Take Pulp Fiction, they're in the back of the car the gun goes off and blows brain matter over everyone. This should be a totally horrifying thing to see - it's vile, repugnant, gory, etc and yet it elicited a huge laugh from virtually everyone in the theater. It's not like the kid deserved it etc and it happened fairly early in the film.

Tarantino uses violence to an absurd level as did George Romero in Dawn of the Dead - arguably the goriest horror film to that date. Romero manages with his gory zombies to make them virtualy forgotten and later sympathized.

Tarantino is so over the top with his gory violence that it's cartoon like - heck he even has a cartoon sequence in the film and that scene is arguably the most horific morally in the whole film. I think the film is a whole lot smarter than it gets credit for - but yes the surface of it is a howler.
