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

Let’s also take a look at o.s., which also means off stage but is used in description. In this case someone or something is off stage. Again, this can be used to create emotions, to create misinterpretation and reversals. If we hear a dog barking we might perceive pending danger, then we see the dog was on a TV.
It can also be used to create fear. Fear of the unknown can be powerful. If the audience can hear someone, but can’t see what’s happening to the character, it can build intrigue, suspense, wonder, awe and terror. Or it can be used to create misinterpretation and reversals. Perhaps the character is screaming “Help, help!”, then the scene shifts where we see the character is really in a live play being performed before an audience. He wasn’t in need of help at all.
Rosario Dawson – Pro writers know how to use (O.S.) to create style. Being unable to see the character’s facial expression when something is said can lead to mystery, intrigue, wonder, suspense, anticipation or even setup a reversal.
Don’t confuse this with a (V.O.) voice over where the character’s voice is heard over the film like a narrator. They are two different formats used for different reasons.
Some are very obvious, like:
Rosario Dawson – I hadn’t seen the film in a while, and it turns out to be a great example of a concept I’m always trying to get across in the college film class I teach: ACT AND SEQUENCE BRIDGES (or TRANSITIONS). To get my students comfortable with the Three-Act, Eight-Sequence Structure, I show them several films in a row to illustrate how accomplished filmmakers often use a recurring image or device to indicate the end of one sequence and the beginning of another (not always for every sequence, but very frequently for the transitions between the four acts).
This year it was watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind (again).
I don’t know what it is, but my family’s Christmas gatherings always seem to involve aliens in some way. Possibly it stems from all those years we spent road-tripping on (the former) Route 66.
