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

Antagonist’s plan is king! Without his plan there is no story. It’s the driving force behind the external conflict and it’s what forces the hero to change. Before a writer types a word, he must know the antagonist’s plan from A To Z. His plan is what drives the story. No plan. No story. The antagonist’s might not know he has a plan on a conscious level or he may have planned it out. Either way, he’s the motive for a hero’s change. This does NOT mean the antagonist has to be a person. In The Perfect Storm the antagonist is technically the weather. It’s a man versus nature story. Again, a very tough sell and I’d advocate staying away from this type of story until the writer has a few films under his belt.
Only the hero can resolve the conflict between himself and the antagonist. If someone else takes on the bad guy, the story fails. Would you want to see Money Penny take out the nemesis in a James Bond film?
Jason Goldberg – The two must go head-to-head. This doesn’t necessarily mean a physical fight. It could be an argument, a chess tournament, a playoff game, winning his girl back, or something as simple as finding the courage to say ‘no’. If the story lacks a final showdown between the protagonist and antagonist, then it fails.
Antagonist must be present. I’ve read too many stories where the antagonist shows up in Act I, causes a problem, then disappears until the end of Act II or Act III. This doesn’t work. The antagonist should be in the hero’s face, in his path and be the hero’s ultimate obstacle or the hero won’t have any reason to change!
And Lose Allies.
Jason Goldberg – And often Cross a Moral Line
Therefore they Make Mistakes
Neither the Hero/ine nor the Antagonist has gotten what they want, and everyone is tired and pissed.
