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

The story’s main conflict must prevent them from being together and be related to love. In the film While You Were Sleeping, the female lead can’t be with the man she’s fallen for because she’s supposed to be engaged to his brother. Create circumstances related to love that prevent the two from being together.
CIRCUMSTANCES
Eric Roberts – When the couple meets is also important. A huge mistake screenwriters make is not having the couple meet until pg. 20 or after, often at Plot Point I! The couple should meet ASAP, preferably within the first ten pages!
How does the couple first meet? It better be memorable! In The Wedding Planner the lead female’s high heel gets stuck at the same time a run-away dumpster’s headed her way. She’s saved by the male lead! This is the fun part of writing a RomCom! The cute meet can involve breaking the physical barrier. Perhaps the male lead has to literally catch the female lead to prevent her from harm and she ends up in his arms. Or the cute meet can be over-the-top, like the runaway dumpster scene in “The Wedding Planner”. Coming up with a unique and fun way to have the couple meet.
All of this angst and escalating brutality results in a much darker act than we’ve seen up to this point. You see this literally in the production design of films: Sequence Six in particular will be the darkest and most brooding of all the sequences (think of the Dark Forest in the first Harry Potter and Dorothy’s abduction to the witch’s castle in The Wizard of Oz…).
Eric Roberts – Remember that the antagonist hasn’t gotten what s/he wants yet either, and will be escalating his or her actions as well. The attacks are more brutal and often more lethal. Very often the most intense action sequences happen during this third quarter. This is another place that the hero/ine’s ally or allies may be killed.
ESCALATING ATTACKS BY ANTAGONIST
On the other hand, new help sometimes surfaces for the hero/ine in a scene that Joseph Campbell called “The Visit to the Goddess.” Vogler left this step of the Mythic Journey out of his The Writer’s Journey (typical sexist Hollywood!), but this can be an extremely powerful scene: think of Neo’s visit to the Oracle in The Matrix and Galadriel’s gifts to the Fellowship in the first Lord of the Rings; and on a lighter note, Margaret’s bonding with Grammy in The Proposal. External action has failed the hero/ine, and a consultation with a feminine, more intuitive power often yields the glimpse of a solution.
