Himmelskibet

Himmelskibet (1918) is a silent, black-and-white Danish science-fiction film.

It was filmed during World War I, in which Denmark was a neutral country, and it advocates pacifism.

The story follows a party of human men who build a spaceship and travel to Mars, where they encounter a pacifist, vegetarian civilization.

There are two female characters in the movie:

• Corona Planetaros (Zanny Petersen), sister to one of the explorers and fiancée to another, who waits on Earth along with her father, an astronomer, and defies the skeptical Professor Dubius
• Marya (Lilly Jacobson), daughter of the (male) Martian leader. She teaches the Earth men that killing is wrong, falls in love with one of them, and goes to Earth with him when he returns home.

The female characters do not talk to each other.
