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

CHAPTER SEVEN: FORMAT – THE KEY TO PRO SCREENWRITING
One of the things producers love is a story they can turn into a profitable sequel. A story can be conclusive and leave a hero for the next sequel, but sometimes stories leave us with a teaser. This is usually done in horror or suspense thrillers, but I’m sure a clever writer could figure out a way to make it work in any genre. An example from a suspense thriller would be from the hit movie Silence of the Lambs where the heroine learns the cannibalistic Hannibal is still alive, then we see him on an island resort following his next prey. This certainly promises Part II and ends with a teaser. Horrors almost always end with a teaser. It’s actually a requirement of horror (read ‘How to Write a Horror’ section of this book) that the threat remains in the end. This is actually a mini-teaser that promises the killer, ghost, evil, vampire, zombie, werewolf or witch will be back to scare us another day.
Marguerite Moreau – End with a Teaser
This teaser leaves out the details and shows the end result. Later in the story, the details are revealed. Using the killer scenario, this type of teaser wouldn’t show the murder. It would only reveal a dead body. Later, we’d see how the person ended up being killed and by whom. The trick to making this type of repeat teaser work is when the scene repeats, to make it longer than the teaser and fill-in the details.
I want to note that the establishing of OUTER DESIRE is such a big moment that it’s often used as the SEQUENCE ONE CLIMAX, as it is in Raging Bull and Funny Girl (the song gets her hired by the musical director at the theater, and her new life begins). The hero/ine’s desire is important to establish early on, so using it as the Act One Climax (the end of Sequence Two) would in most cases be a bit late. But there are always exceptions!
Marguerite Moreau – #NAME?
– Let’s look at Raging Bull. Jake LaMotta’s OUTER DESIRE is clear — he states it flat out, and he and all his entourage are working toward it. He wants to be a champion boxer. But the moment he meets Vickie, we see a new DESIRE begin, and it’s quickly apparent that that new desire is going to conflict with his stated desire. He wants this woman, and Scorsese films Jake’s view of her so beautifully: she sits at the edge of a swimming pool, blond and pale, with the sun and the water caressing her … the film goes into slightly slow motion as she moves her legs in the water. It’s a terrific depiction of the thunderbolt of love and the beginning of obsession; time stops for the hero when he sees the loved one.
It’s also interesting to look at the scene where Fanny first meets Nick Arnstein and is instantly smitten. It’s clearly love … but to me, not quite the moment that her first solo on stage is. And the whole story is about how those two desires — for stardom and for love — are in conflict. I think the film is a great example of visualizing both the inner and outer desires.
