This article is not a film review, but an introduction to the relationship between Gunn and Rooker (+Amway). . .

"Guardians of the Galaxy" series director James Gunn's true love is definitely to play the courageous Michael Rooker. In "Silver Guard 1", the character of Yongdu was tailored by Gunn for Rooker. Before Gunn took over "Silver Guard 1," Yondu was not included in the script. So far, "Silver Guard 2" has been commented on the first batch of movie watching, and there have been a number of tweets praising courage that "has become the heart of the Marvel universe/he is strong, warm and loving". These tweets All the articles were praised and forwarded by Gunn, a severely ill patient with internet addiction. Even the author asked on Twitter before, is "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" a love letter to Rooker? They were all praised by the director himself. (I am very pleased to be stamped)
Gunn said that the prototypes of several people in "Silver Guard" came from his friends in real life. Nebula was his first girlfriend in middle school, and the prototype of Yongdu was Rooker, Rocket Raccoon. The prototype is the director James Gunn himself, and the tree-person Groot prototype is Gunn’s dog Dr. Von Spears (this dog has a stool with his own name on the set of "Silver Guard", and also made a guest appearance in "Silver Guard 1." A handful). I also sighed that the interaction between "Silver Guard 1" Yongdu and Rocket is a little less, and then the promotion of "Silver Guard 2", there are no less than 3 pictures of Rocket and Yongdu in the same frame, and the director Every time a still picture of Rocket and Yongdu in the same frame was exposed, I replaced this photo with the theme background picture of my FB front page. And it is said that people who have watched the film say that the interaction between Rocket and Yongdu is one of the highlights of the film, and it is simply looking forward to it!

Not only "Silver Guard", Gunn has Rooker in every feature film written and directed by Gunn, including "The Ripper", "Superhero" and "Belco Experiment". He is definitely Gunn's number one queen actor. But in fact, Gunn Rooker is 15 years old. When Gunn was still bad rock, Rooker was already a Hollywood gold medal match, Stallone, Shangrwinton, Schwarzenegger, Atango and many other first-line male gods in the 1990s. All are reaped by Rooker. Gunn's success in supporting Rooker can be said to be a very inspirational fan of successful counterattacks.
Gunn saw Rooker on the big screen for the first time. It was when Gunn was a teenager watching Rooker’s debut film "Henry: Portrait of the Killer" in the cinema It is also sharp and exquisite, so ruthlessly deep into the bone marrow), Gunn thought that Rooker was the greatest actor in the world, and a Rooker god-level fan was born. Finally, in 2006, when Gunn directed his debut film "The Ripper", he cast his cast to his male god, "The first time I saw Rooker, I made various confessions, and I laughed at everything I did." The two were neurotic. The same funny personality fits perfectly, the two hit it off, and then the style of getting along with each other suddenly changes: Gunn is now adhering to "love you, you will kill you", and will not let go of any chance of black Rooker, Rooker is a pair of " I listen to Mr. Gunn everything, what Mr. Gunn said is like "what".
One of Gunn's major attributes is that he has a strong desire for control, which Gunn himself has admitted. In order to cooperate with Gunn, a Leo control freak, Rooker disintegrated the serious image he had built over the years, and started a career of going wrong in everything. In the "Silver Guard 2" Red Carpet Marvel live interview, Gunn looked like a boss and asked Rooker to come and take the interview with him. Then he ignored the host and started to play with amusement. Gunn said, "Rooker on the set makes me worry about it all the time. , If someone messed up this scene, it must be Rooker!!!" Actually, Gunn has converged much better than before. When the two of them were not now famous, Gunn once said bluntly, "Rooker is a wild dog. , I have to keep watching him, come back, Rooker, goodbye, Rooker."
Once the Gunn sunspot's attributes broke out, it would be out of control, extremely terrifying, and the deeper the love, the deeper the black. When the two were interviewed by the hostess in the early days, Gunn started joking wildly, "When I first met Rooker, he was eating shit on the side of the road. He was giving someone else a BJ..." The host was no longer able to pick up. Words. Rooker just next to him is just "Hehehe, what else can I say." Of course, the interaction between the two people on Instagram is also wonderful. For example, Gunn will post a photo of himself with his middle finger and circle Rooker. "Except for Rooker, everyone else Please ignore this message." Gunn also took the story of Rooker's skunk spray as a joke, and advertised it in reality shows and other shows. He laughed out of breath next to him, and Rooker couldn't even intervene. . Even now, Gunn's sunspot attributes are still there. Not long ago, at the live broadcast of the "Silver Guard 2" crew, Gunn read fan messages one by one, and there was a message of "Rooker Sucks!" The director said loudly and clearly "Haha, Rooker Sucks!" leading to the star next to him. Mr. Juepa, sister Zoe's face turned green into Gamora herself. The scene was very embarrassing for a time, only to hear Rooker's own round of hahaha.
Of course, Rooker is also wholeheartedly surrendering and cooperating with Gunn. He has been insisting that Gunn is Mr. Gunn. Moreover, Rooker is also a man of humor and a master of serious jokes. Rooker grievedly complained to the reporter, "Mr. Gunn likes torturing me, let me do here and there, hum." Gunn opened the party and printed all the toilet rolls on Rooker's face and sealed Rooker for everyone. Rooker also showed off the roll paper at the premiere of "Belco Experiment". But from time to time, Rooker would secretly "retaliate" Gunn. For example, he organized everyone to leave a message to James Gunn at the comic show, and recorded the video of everyone saying "James Gunn Sucks" in unison and sent it to Gunn. Rooker also called Gunn on the spot on a panel of a comic show and asked his partner on the same stage if he could play the "Sweeper", but Gunn turned against the generals on the phone. "Then I will let him play the role. Save it, you don't want to continue acting." After the two recorded a show, Gunn said "I love you." Rooker paused and said dryly "Okay." Then the two laughed scornfully. , Gunn said again, "Be good! Honest!". Later, Gunn also explained this paragraph on FB, "Usually when we were separated, Rooker would say love me, but when the camera was there, Rooker didn’t say anything about it, huh! That’s why I said to him," Obedient!'"
Perhaps the only time Rooker pretended to be unsuccessful was at the scene of a blog show. Gunn was in the dark Rooker as always. Rooker said hehe, "James, save it today. Your parents are watching it in the audience." Rooker I have been tolerating Gunn. After a crazy humiliation, Rooker said to Gunn very sincerely, "You know, you are the only person who doesn’t feel angry after humiliating me like this, because I love you." Gunn then He smiled and said, "I know, hehe."
Rooker is as important to Gunn as his family. Rooker seems to be attending the family gathering of Gunn on major festivals, and Rooker especially gives Gunn's father a head massage. Starting from Gunn's ex-wife, Gunn will especially show photos of himself, his girlfriend and Rooker, so that there will be the illusion of "Rooker of iron, girlfriend of flowing water". Of course, Gunn sometimes asks Rooker about women. When the two of them went to the studio of Gunn’s ex-girlfriend together, they kept coaxing Gunn into a little nervousness. Rooker also hugged Gunn warmly and comforted him. "It's fine".
Gunn is very happy. He once said in a personal interview with a blissful smile on his face and said, "Working with Rooker is a dream come true." On Rooker's 60th birthday, Gunn especially posted a picture of Rooker's birthday ten years ago. The picture of the day was filming "Tear Man". Gunn was not satisfied with the results of the filming. He overturned his previous plan and started over. Rooker had been uncomfortably in a very disgusting costume for more than ten hours, but Rooker didn't complain at all. Gunn praised Rooker's professional spirit and superb acting skills very seriously. Rooker is also very affirmed of Gunn's talents, saying that Gunn is a "very good screenwriter. It's okay to be a director, haha, it's also a very good director".
The relationship between the two has probably exceeded the boundaries of friendship, and has become the concept of a family like a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. They fart each other, deeply affecting and encouraging each other and inspiring each other. Without Rooker, there would be no such vivid courage. Gunn also pointed out that Rooker's performance in "Silver Guard 2" deserves an Oscar nomination. After the premiere of "Silver Guard 2", Gunn deliberately posted a text message that Rooker thanked and praised himself, "Thank you for making me so handsome!" Although he didn't admit it, the praised fascination brother Gunn was absolutely super. happy. Such a high-end Loveletter given to idols, it seems that Gunn is destined to black Rooker for a lifetime.
