Sometimes, very obscene words, in the hands of Ewan McGregor, also become a matter of course. After all, he is now a mature 37-year-old man, married, and a father of three, for whom "full nudity" has always been an integral part of film life, he said: "Undressing in front of the camera, It's not something to be embarrassed about or to be shy about. I think art is a reflection on life, and movies are no exception, and in real life, we are naked a lot of the time - at least I am. "

The Traveler" is described as a seductive psychological thriller, with Ewan McGregor as Jonathan McCurry, a lonely Wall Street accountant, who is met by a charismatic man. The Temptation of Lawyer Wyatt Persian - Hugh Jackman's character, joins an expensive sex club where Jonathan meets and falls in love with a beautiful mysterious woman he only knows by the name of "S", Played by Michelle Williams... Later, "S" disappeared, and Jonathan became the main suspect in the kidnapping, McGregor said: "I have a more comprehensive macro understanding of my role, which is His 'rebirth', he came to life again after 'death', as Wyatt said to him, 'You're dead, but I gave you life.' In a sense, what Wyatt said was absolutely correct: Jonathan suddenly met an attractive man who wanted to be his friend, and as a result broke with his former life, he later joined Going to a sex club and experimenting with different sexual experiences completely awakened his instincts. Until he met 'S' and fell in love with him, it was one step closer to completing his life's journey."

With a keen sense of smell in the acting industry for many years, Ewan McGregor discovered that the key to the role is that the film keeps flashing sporadic fragments of Jonathan's past: such as he was raised by his mother. Growing up as the only child in the family, his mother died when he was 19... McGregor said: "It's an effective addition to my character, close to a dialogue-free addition. .Such a role model is rare in the film industry. Generally speaking, what you hand over to you is a pre-set perfect role, and then all you need to do is put yourself into a certain role. In a mold, it's scripted. But if you can really find the reason why he grew up to be like this character, it will make everything more interesting. People like Jonathan are called 'disgusting', Being that kind of nerd is very helpful when I'm interpreting the character, what's the fun of playing a stereotyped person who is not sociable? The key is to find out what makes him stand out in the crowd The reason for being so 'aloof'."

In terms of filming, Traveler follows a film noir style, with many depictions of New York nights. The film's cinematographer is Oscar-nominated Dante Spinotti, whose credits include "L.A. Confidential" and "The Insider." As for director Marsol Longaniga, most of the time he feels more like an energetic, floppy-haired European who likes to wear a black T-shirt. He has already established himself in the field of commercials and music video directors. Having made his own kingdom and living in Los Angeles for the past 10 years -- he described his directorial debut as a "test of stamina," Longaniga said: There has always been a high interest in storytelling, but in commercials and MVs, there are very few opportunities for storytelling... If you break down a film, you will find that it is composed of various Each moment is tiny, like a brick in a building, while a short film or ad represents a wall, and for movies, at least an entire room.”

The film's other star, Hugh Jackman, is also one of the producers, the Australian actor who is more and more familiar with the "Wolverine" in the "X-Men" series. Ewan McGregor's acting partner Ewan McGregor was nervous about filming the upcoming sex scenes, but preferred to joke about them: "I remember one of the very funny episodes where a girl involved in the sex scene called Marsol Longanega, because she didn't know the shooting time had changed, asked nervously on the phone, 'What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?' Longanega Immediately replied, 'No, no, you're fine, it's just that the shooting date has been delayed.' And she said, 'I'm just calling to tell you that if you keep using me, I'd do anything and I'm physically The flexibility is particularly good...' I couldn't listen to it anymore, and my face turned red in order to hold back my smile, I quickly reminded Longanega, 'I know this is your first movie, but I still think she and You're talking about two completely different things.'"
