Even if it is "just because," though... why not? Just because you have the tools, doesn't mean you should use them if that isn't what the story calls for. As an example, chase scenes are great, but if you have a car scene in your somber melodrama, it probably wouldn't have a crazy chase scene -- you have the tools and the opportunity, but you don't need to use them. That's the hallmark of great storytelling. It's all about keeping an open mind. Because what directs liking a story? As with any piece of art, these things don't follow a formula. The role of the artist is to play around and figure out what's right. All this rigidity is an ugly thing that has no place in art.
