1) I think QT uses violence to make people laugh as much as he uses it to shock people. He has 2 different kinds of violence in his films: Implied psychological violence (The ear cutting scene in Dogs) and explicit over the top violence (Marvins head getting blown off in Pulp, the Crazy 88 fight in Kill Bill). Its all a matter of the aesthetic hes trying to convey for the scenes hes shooting.
2) I think violence plays an important part because its part of the stories he’s telling and the genre he’s working in. How many times have you seen a crime or revenge film with no violence whatsoever?
3) Personally, I really enjoy violent and gory films. I always have because violence is cinema as Eisenstein once said. Cinema is based on action and movement and alot of times that movement is violent. BUT, I hate real life violence and murder.
