Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Benicio Del Toro’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Benicio Del Toro – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Benicio Del Toro and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Benicio Del Toro production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Benicio Del Toro’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Benicio Del Toro and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

Ask questions. Even if you don’t have an immediate answer you’ll be surprised when later you suddenly realize how to make a plot element work, or how to nail down a scene or beef up the dialogue. Let the creative portion of your brain provide the answers for you! Don’t feel like you have to get the script done now because the concept is too hot to wait. If it’s that hot, it’ll sell no matter when you get it done. The goal is to get it done right the first time by asking the important questions BEFORE the writing process begins.
The human brain is an amazing computer. If you ask it a question it will try its hardest to come up with the answer. Have you ever had someone ask you what someone’s name is and you couldn’t remember? You ask and ask yourself, “What was his name?” Then later when you’re not even thinking about it anymore you suddenly remember the person’s name. That’s because your brain never stopped working on the question you presented.
Benicio Del Toro – Outlining is the time to ask the tough questions – – NOT AFTER THE SCRIPT IS DONE. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll submit a review to an aspiring screenwriter with plenty of suggestions due to plots that don’t work, etc., only to have the screenwriter ask me if a certain change will work. Their questions usually involve page-one rewrites and had they taken the time to ask these critical questions initially, they wouldn’t have to deal with the frustration of having to rewrite a script that doesn’t work. Remember, changing one aspect of a script will change everything.
Questions Are the Answer
The eight-sequence structure actually translates beautifully to novel structuring, although as novelists we have much more leeway on the time front and you might end up with a few more sequences in the end. Even so, most novelists use this rhythm unconsciously, because after seeing thousands, tens of thousands, of movies and TV shows, we just can’t help ourselves. Just like with the three-act structure, the eight-sequence rhythm is in our DNA.
Benicio Del Toro – Right! Television! TV writers always end a sequence on a cliffhanger before the station cuts away to a commercial break. It’s just too easy to change channels otherwise. (I am not a TV writer, and this is not a TV writing book, and I’m being horribly simplistic. Be aware that if you’re writing for television, different networks have different requirements and different numbers and lengths of acts, so do your homework!)
Obviously these days we have digital projection, and no one is up in that projection booth scrambling to change reels, but modern films still follow that same storytelling rhythm. Because what storytelling form came along mid-twentieth century that really locked that cliffhanger rhythm into place?
You can read older film scripts and see the sequence designations typed right into the script: Sequence One, Sequence Two, Sequence Three, etc.
