The Day the Earth Stood Still

1. Compare Klaatu and the events in the story to the historical-myhthological figure of Jesus Christ. How are they similar?

I think Klaatu is really similar with Jesus Christ because he comes to the Earth like a man to save the planet, he has powers and he can do miracles, like treat people, move things and something like that, so i think Klaatu is inspired in Jesus and the film wants to transmit the same religious message.
Another similarity is when Klaatu went out the Earth that he disappeard like a light, spirit.
And the last one is when the insects were killing people and destroying everything, that's is the same that "happened" in the ancient with Moises that he wanted to free his nation from the egyiptians and he asked for a help to God and one of that help was a plague of frogs.
