This movie is a thing of MMD cup. MMD cup is a convention which determines the highest award by a user's vote out of the movie made by MIKUMIKUDANCE [link].
In NicoNicoDouga, Hatsune Miku and Touhou are famous, however an attractive character is not only them. NicoNicoDouga which started in 2006 had hatched various characters by the present.
Boromir is also the one character...
"What? Is Boromir a character of The Lord of the Rings?" Yes, He is playing an active part in NicoNicoDouga. Even Tolkien can't have foreseen this present situation, either...




I want you to note that Boromir is having a smile. In the movie of The Lord of the Rings, he was the character charged with misfortune fate. And he became the villain and died. He is an unfortunate supporting player.
But, Boromir is Hero in NicoNicoDouga. He was released from a curse of his destiny and has gained happiness. In Japan, There is culture which carries out empathy to a loser's hero. It's called 判官贔屓"Hanganbiiki". The character is the same as an actor. By changing the role to play, it can play another role.

Only a famous character isn't NiconicoDouga. In NiconicoDouga, any characters may be possible to play an active part. The possibility is diversity. Diversity is created by various acts of various players. When diversity tells a subculture of Japan, It's very important. The subculture was the culture of an object and value which modern-society threw away. For example, Miyazaki Hayao's work and the street of Akihabara and Nakano express it. That's Touhou by Zun too.
However, such diversity is be cornered by intervention of a company and the mass media. When Anime and Manga become main-culture, Boromir will stop smiling again. The manager of NicoNicoDouga has also denied diversity. They are wanting to control a user,  in order to make NicoNicoDouga into black figures. Installation of a time signal is the proof.
In NiconicoDouga, the thought of a user and a manager completely differs. By whether either governs NicoNicoDouga more strongly, The color is changed.
