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

What’s the easiest way to do this? By starting with the hero’s flaw (internal conflict). What is it that the hero can’t or won’t change? Once the writer discovers the hero’s weak spot, then all the writer has to do is come up with an external conflict that will force change in the hero. Most writers do the opposite – they focus on a cool concept and forget the rest when they should have focused on the hero’s flaw first, then worked on coming up with a cool concept. Or the misguided writer comes up with a good concept and a flawed hero, but doesn’t link the two together. The internal and external conflicts must be interconnected for the story to work as a film.
Why is knowing this so important to a screenwriter? Because in real life you can’t change a leopard’s spots, but in a movie the writer MUST change the leopard’s spots or the story fails. Like in real life, the hero has no desire to change. In fact, the film hero is perfectly comfortable in his dysfunctional world. It’s his norm. It’s his comfort zone. A bulldozer isn’t likely to evoke change. He’s EXACTLY like the audience; he isn’t able or willing to change! This means the writer has to devise a plot (external conflict) that will FORCE the hero to change.
James Roday Rodriguez – The audience wants to be the hero! The audience wants to be a larger-than-life character! The audience wants to change their spots! Movies give the audience the hope that change is possible.
For 90 to 120 minutes, the audience gets to forget their own shortcomings and experience what it would be like to change. Through the hero this experience is made possible. It’s unlikely the person viewing the film really gets that this is why they’re identifying so closely with the hero, but it is the core reason we are all so entranced by movies.
· CLOSING IMAGE: Which is often a variation of the Opening Image
James Roday Rodriguez – · FINAL BOWS: We need to see all our favorite characters one final time (this may happen earlier, in the Team Battle, or it may be combined with the Ceremony)
· CEREMONY AND AWARDS: Not all stories have this element, but mythic structure stories very often have a step in the Resolution in which the hero/ine and team are honored by the community that they have just saved, or in a romance there is a wedding ceremony or suggestion of a wedding ceremony
· RESOLUTION: We get a glimpse into the NEW WAY OF LIFE that the hero/ine will be living after this whole ordeal and all s/he’s learned from it
