An slient twist on Hamlet

I found and watched an interesting twist on Hamlet.

This Hamlet (referred to as Asta Nielsen's Hamlet)  is a 1921 silent film with Hamlet as a strong willed female (played by Asta Nielson who I guess was the Meryl Streep of the silent film day).  Also notable is:

•  the apparent removal of supernatural aspects (no ghost) 
• what looks like a romantic relationship between Hamlet and Horatio.
• no famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy (because it is silent)
• surprisingly no Yorick skull scene either. 

I've attached links to all 14 parts that I found on YouTube and noted some of the links where different events from the play (and some not in it) take place.  The film cards are in German, so I don't understand everything and guess a lot (but it is an interesting version of the story).

(Part 1 of 14)  After a battle, Hamlet senior (male) orders that Hamlet jr. (female) be disguised as a male to preserve the line of succession (I think)
