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

4) The dialogue is real-life verbatim.
Cary Elwes – -A story with all internals is a tough sell. Film is a visual medium!
3) Nothing external is at stake. Warren won’t lose his home with his wife gone. He doesn’t try to kill himself. His entire dilemma is internal.
In The Godfather, Michael wants to protect his father and the family and the family business from the violent attacks by rival Mafia families (OUTER STAKES). Again, there are the Outer Stakes of life and death. But the INNER STAKES are far more interesting: Michael’s immortal soul is at risk, and indeed, he loses it.
Cary Elwes – Note that in those two examples there are both INNER and OUTER stakes: In Die Hard, McClane wants to save his wife (and all right, the other hostages) from the terrorists (OUTER STAKES). There are also the standard action movie stakes of life and death; the terrorists have enough firepower and explosives to kill everyone in the movie at any time. But McClane also wants to win his wife and his own self-esteem back by demonstrating that his blue-collar police job is just as important, and sometimes more important, than her high-powered career. (Yes, that really is what’s going on in that movie!)
And the family in jeopardy as the stakes is not always just cheap emotion — it can make a fascinating moral story, as we see in The Godfather. Michael is locked into the story when his father, Don Corleone, is nearly killed by a rival family, and the family — and the family empire — is in jeopardy. The twist and terrible irony is that Michael is the least likely member of the family to risk himself to save his father and the family business, but he’s the one who steps up to the plate with a brilliant ruthlessness that proves him to be every bit his father’s son —”Famiglia” through and through.
In Die Hard, the STAKES are made very clear: John McClane’s wife is trapped in a building that has been taken over by terrorists. McClane is going to do whatever it takes to save his wife. This is a staple of action movies — it’s the hero’s family in jeopardy. Personally I think that’s cheap, not to mention a low form of morality on the Kohlberg scale (every writer should know the Kohlberg Stages of Moral Development!) — but then, I’m not a big action story fan, either.
