Two Sides of the Same Coin
Megan is a robotic doll Who develops a Conscience. Megan is given to a young girl who had recently suffered the loss of her parents. Cady the young girl being pushed into a new life and release on the doll for companionship. Megan protects Cady but overly protects and learns from this young traumatic girl how the world works, which gives Megan the doll a twisted view of the world and will protect Cady from it.
Cady being yanked into a world or new life having to adjust to this new way while also trying to heal from this tragedy. I have also been put in a new situation, I grew up in the same house went to the same schools had all the same friends then in high school a situation occurred where I had to move in with my grandparents and go to a new school and be the new kid and learn a new way to live. Now I will admit that my situation was not as tragic as Cady’s. I do understand the situation of relearning how things work at the house.
In this situation I believe the phrase “too much of a good thing is a bad thing” in the case of Megan, imagine being recently “born” and connected to a child, neither having a full understanding of good and bad. Megan helped heal Cady and both formed a strong bond to each other. Megan formed a too strong of a bond, she was overly protective and went too far. By the end of the movie Megan went so far to “protect;” Cady. I believe that Cady and Megan would have been far better if they had seen and Consulted with a therapist. For Megan having Someone who knew the sociology of how the development of feelings would have taught Megan what was good and what was bad. For Cady, having a therapist helps her understand her feelings and not have her depend on a robot for emotional support and connect to others for emotional support.
