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

(I’ve noted some of these comedy tricks throughout this movie breakdown, but I am absolutely not an expert. It’s crucial to be familiar with comedy tricks and tropes if comedy is what you’re writing, so make sure you learn everything you can, everywhere you can.)
Thomas Jane – [7:43] JEOPARDY: a different kind of shadowy man in sadistic-looking leather gloves (yes, they do look sadistic) makes a call from a phone booth. The call wakes Joan up; the man says nothing. This is the first glimpse we get of the ANTAGONIST: Zolo. He has a copy of one of Joan’s books with her author photo on the back, so we know he’s after Joan. This is also a RUNNING GAG: the book with the author photo. Repetition is a staple of comedy.
[5:22] We see Joan’s social life in a nutshell as she celebrates the completion of her book with her cat, Romeo. In a word, pathetic. And there’s another very obvious statement of her desire — she toasts to the book poster — the shadowy silhouette of “Jesse,” and actually says, “Whoever you are.”
[4 min.] As Jesse and Angelina ride off into the desert, we dissolve to Joan in her office, typing “The End” and sobbing her eyes out. Joan is, to put it bluntly, a mess. This is a fine CHARACTER INTRODUCTION and great example of how you can use a character’s environment to tell us all we need to know about the character, pretty much instantly. We see her book collages on the wall, her book posters and awards, the state of her apartment, the obsessive (and apparently ineffective) Post-it notes, the sad state of her refrigerator (a hard boiled egg, dozens of vitamin bottles, and cat food). Also, she’s still in her pajamas. Not that any of us would recognize this state of affairs. HEROINE IN ORDINARY WORLD. All of this is seen under the CREDITS. Nowadays, no one has a credits sequence like this – the credits almost always go at the end of the movie, because, apparently, modern audiences are too impatient to sit through them.
