Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Livi Shean’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Livi Shean – 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 Livi Shean 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 Livi Shean 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 Livi Shean’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, Livi Shean 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 look at every scene in Act II. The scene may contain vital information, it may have conflict and probably does a good job at moving the story forward, but does it contribute to the hero’s arc? It should!
The great thing about developing all of Act II’s scenes based on the hero’s arc is that they often hold strong emotional value. It’s what makes the audience identify with the hero and it’s what makes the audience have an emotional connection with the hero!
Livi Shean – So, what happens in Act II? He gets stuck rescuing two kids from man-eating dinosaurs! Every scene in Act II contributes to him changing his mind about kids. What about the scenes with other characters when the hero isn’t present? If you take a close look at these scenes, they help forward the external conflict and therefore contribute to the hero’s internal conflict resolution! If the scene doesn’t move the external conflict forward, it’ll often reflect the hero’s internal issues. For example, there’s a scene in the movie where the park’s founder is eating ice cream and talking with the hero’s girlfriend. At this point in the story, the hero and the kids are missing and the dinosaurs are on the loose. The park’s founder speaks of his passion for what he created, love for his grand kids, etc. All of these things ‘reflect’ the hero’s internal conflict.
I’ve chosen a simple example from the movie Jurassic Park. The hero is setup as a man who doesn’t want the responsibility of kids. We learn this when he’s first introduced (Act I). He thinks they’re smelly, expensive and he’d rather spend time digging up animals that have been dead for 65 million years. This is the internal conflict he needs to overcome.
Another great example of working a THEMATIC IMAGE SYSTEM is the first scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Livi Shean – (If there’s anything I learned from screenwriting it’s that you can JUST SAY IT. And it generally works better if you just do.)
All of that in maybe a four-minute scene, and it blatantly spells out the entire story. And yet it works on the surface level as well; an audience isn’t stopping to think, “Oh, there’s a theme, and there’s a theme, and yet another theme.”
“Hallelujah. You’re my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ,” and “This never happened, you don’t exist,” and “You need to unplug, man” – all references to the themes of the movie. And Neo himself asks, “You ever have that feeling where you don’t know if you’re awake or still dreaming?”
