the Uncanny

The first thing that comes to mind when i hear the term uncanny is something that is very mysterious or strange, especially in an unsettling way. Freud refers to the "The Uncanny" as in the class of frightening things that lead us back to what is known and familiar. The first thing that immediately came to mind was the movie Legion. Before going further into details about the movie, let's touch on angels and God first. Usually we are use to seeing God as a forgiving and loving God. Also, when we think of Angels we think of holy beings that are God's messengers and our righteous guidance. But, in the movie we see the complete opposite! We God as a vengeful bring that is fed up with human civilization due to their constant sinning. He wants to strike them with death and plagues leaving an end to mankind. In the film Legion, we see Angels as God's destroyers. God sends his Legions to earth to kill mankind's last hope which is the baby. I've never heard of such thing nor seen this before watching the movie. It was kind of frightening to imagine even if this was slightly possible to happen. The movie gives us an uncanny perspective of God and his wrath.
