'Guardians of the Galaxy' 1st Anniversary: Director James Gunn Has a Special Message to Fans

Happy 1st year Anniversary "Guardians of the Galaxy" 2014 movie! It's already been a year but a lot of audience are still stunned and fascinated with the movie's characters, who cannot be right? With a line-up like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Benicio del Toro, and Vin Diesel.  

The movie that introduced as to Groot, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Quasar,  Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Drax the Destroyer already marked its one year anniversary last Saturday Aug. 1 2015. And fans are excited to see more but before the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2..."

Director Gunn writes a very special letter in his facebook account to every fans of the movie out there. And here it goes,

"One year ago today, Guardians of the Galaxy opened up in the U.S. and many places around the world. The movie massively over-performed that weekend, even by our own expectations, but what meant more to me is how much so many of you, no matter where you were from, took the story and the characters into your hearts. What meant more to me is that "We are Groot" became a rallying cry for unity among friends and families. What meant more to me is that you laughed at the dumb stuff I thought you'd miss, like "Cap'n's gotta teach stuff" and "I was thinking of something else." What meant more to me is that in our tenth week we were out-performing any comic book film in recent history - not because of the money, but because people were going back to see the film a second, third, fourth, fifth time, or more, because they loved it. What mattered to me is that after a lifetime of telling stories and half a lifetime making movies, I felt like you and I, filmmaker and audience, were at the same place at the same time.

It mattered to me mostly because I told a story fully with my heart, and you took it into yours. I don't think I can ever explain how much that means to me. It makes every failure I've ever had well worth it.

I get a lot of messages from people saying, "You made me believe in movies again." Well, you guys made me believe that what I spent my life doing was worth doing. And you strengthened my belief that nothing's worth doing, if it's not done honestly, and it's not done with love.

On this, the one year anniversary of the cinematic Guardians entering our solar system: thank you, thank you, thank you.

 We really are, truly, honestly Groot.

Love,

James

Thank you Director James, really heartfelt! I definitely am Groot. And to all the Groots out there, watch out for the "Guardians of Galaxy 2" release on May 5, 2017 and hit us some comments below.
