This is the moment when things begin to change inside Macbeth (Michael Fassbender). Having dutifully served as a general to King Duncan (David Thewlis), killing the traitor Macdonwald in a fierce battle with Macdonwald’s rebel forces, Macbeth comes upon three figures in the gloom after the battle.

What you might not know is that Melville’s masterpiece was based on the accounts he'd heard and read of the doomed whaleship Essex in 1920,
