the research of Particular Motivation

 Bordwell considered one particular kind of motivation, that in certain circumstances causal motivation can be abandoned for, or intermingled with, Coincidence, Luck, Fortune, Fate or the intervention of the Supernatural.

    In Chinese low-budget comedy films, I can find many films apply these elements of humor.

    Like <Crazy Racer>, applying coincidence in the script to make funny. 

    Like <Lost In Thailand>, applying Luck and unlucky in the script to make funny.

    Like <Lost on the journey>, applying supernatural and   fate to make funny.

    

    From many films can be seen, their plots of script apply coincidence to make funnier. It seems that they generally site the plot about bad thing suddenly happen like power cut. or one or some characters get trouble. Because making sure the plot is interesting and this element can develop the story-line or the reversal of the plot. Meanwhile, it is a better way to show the personality of characters (Hu Jian Sheng).
