Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Dan Schneider’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Dan Schneider – 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 Dan Schneider 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 Dan Schneider 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 Dan Schneider’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, Dan Schneider 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.

Take a close look at how this is done. From the opening teaser we can tell what the basic story is going to be about. We don’t have to know the details. We just have to be intrigued enough to continue watching.
Television uses a hook called a ‘teaser’ (or cold open) to nail the audience to their seats. It usually runs 1 to 3 minutes at the opening of a 1-hour dramatic series and presents an inciting incident that demands the audience continue to watch to see what happens. It’s followed by the credits and a commercial, then after the commercial Act I begins.
Dan Schneider – but the screenwriter only has 10 pages to hook the reader!
The screenwriter has 30 pages to setup the story,
– Thomas Harris’s Francis Dolarhyde, from Red Dragon, is a masterpiece of archetypal imagery. There’s a lot of very well researched police and criminal procedure in that book, but what really gets me about that character is how Harris has created a monster, both more and less than human, by blending the factual with the archetypal. Baby Francis is born with a cleft palate and is described as looking like a baby bat. He has a fetish for biting (true of many serial killers, but used very specifically here). He kills on a moon cycle (true of many serial killers as well), also bringing to mind supernatural monsters like the werewolf. He uses his Grandmother’s fake teeth (vampire). And he thinks he is turning into a dragon. He is also a large man and very pale. Not entirely realistic, these things, but they work for me because of the metaphor.
Dan Schneider – This is my theory, at least for the villains I love: The psychology is not as important as the theme. I don’t care how realistic a killer is as long as s/he makes metaphorical sense.
You will hear very often about how important it is to create a realistic psychology of a villain. I don’t disagree; nothing makes me toss a book faster than seeing a serial killer who is “cleverly” characterized with an artistic or poetic bent. Doesn’t happen in real life. Of course, a killer like Buffalo Bill doesn’t happen in real life, either, and The Silence of the Lambs — in case you haven’t noticed! — is one of my all-time favorite books and films. So why does that book work for me when so many others just make me groan and throw things?
PSYCHOLOGICAL VS. MYTHIC
