There have been about a dozen more or less famous movie adaptations of Shakespeare's tragedy. Most of them were more or less faithful to the original plot and setting. One of the foremost was Orson Welles' 1948 adaptation, with himself in the title role. Welles wanted to show the broader context of political struggle with the introduction of religious struggle - so he introduced a new character, The Holy Man, who was to represent the new religious force of Christianity juxtaposed to the old paganism that the Weird Sisters embodied. However, Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" (1957) was arguably the most successful adaptation from a cinematic point of view. Kurosawa changed the setting to medieval Japan, with Japanese aristocracy representing the Macbeth couple. Thus Kurosawa universalized the theme of political corruption and personal greed, showing them in an entirely different milieu.

Answer:
The main idea of this poem is that it is wise to forget about the bad memories in the past and move forward by doing good things. The poet's "soul is sailing through the sea,/But the Past is heavy and hindereth" him. If anyone considers the past as a burden- "Past is heavy", then it will trouble (as is found in the poem, "hindereth") and not let anyone do the works and achieve their dreams.
At first, his soul is sailing, which means that he is happy and relaxed but soon his past starts destroying his mood; he feels sad. However, the speaker, like Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", becomes positive and determined: "Old Past, let go, and drop i' the sea,/Till fathomless waters cover thee!" He wants to forget his past; he wants to think about the present moment, "I strive ahead" and the accomplishment in the future "The Day to find". He wants to find the "Day"; he has a goal in life; he wants to achieve his dream.
The barnacle attaches itself firmly and to rocks and the undersides of boats but the poet does not want to stick to one place like the barnacle. He wants to move; he wants to "strive ahead". Barnacle can also be compared to the 'past'. Barnacle sticks to rocks, similarly the poet's past sticks to his soul and he wants to be free from it. The poem slowly reaches a conclusion with the note of optimism as he says that the past is dead and he is alive, "For I am living but thou art dead." His soul is ecstatic again as he utters, "I needs must hurry with the wind/And trim me best for sailing."
