THE CROOKED MAN (2024) Javier Botet, Vera Farmiga

Se dice que el hombre torcido es el general escocés Sir Alexander Leslie, que firmó un pacto que garantizaba la libertad religiosa y política de Escocia. El “estilo torcido” del poema era la alianza entre los parlamentos de Inglaterra y Escocia o la frontera entre ambos, según la fuente. “Todos vivían juntos en una pequeña casa torcida” se refiere al hecho de que los ingleses y los escoceses habían llegado por fin a un acuerdo, a pesar de la gran animosidad que seguía existiendo entre los dos pueblos, que, no obstante, tenían que vivir juntos debido a su frontera común.

La gran reacuñación en torno a 1696 dio lugar a monedas de seis peniques que estaban hechas de plata muy fina y se doblaban fácilmente, quedando “torcidas”. La rima Crooked Man aparece como un objeto poseído/embrujado en The Conjuring 2. El título se utilizó para la película de Norman Wisdom de 1960, There Was a Crooked Man, como un juego de palabras para referirse a un político “torcido”.
