Unlocking Success: The One Mentor Moment That Can Change Everything
“Just following doctor’s orders. I’ve decided to become a mensch. You know what that means? A human being.”
Screenwriters refer to this as a callback. That’s when a character recalls a preceding event in the story. A Mentor Moment involves something significant. In the case of The Apartment, it’s the “mensch” reference. Combined with his growing affection for Fran, the wisdom Dr. Dreyfuss conveys to Baxter in his Mentor Moment provides the impetus for Baxter to reject his Want (corporate success) and embrace his Need (rediscover his inner “mensch”).
