Well since a lot of time passed and a bluray edition of the movie was released in Japan, I reuploaded this scene in his HD glory.
A couple of notes about this scene:
- remember that Chiyoko life, career and Japan history are all intertwined
- you can see Chiyoko running as the Japan progress through history (like an arrow)
- but history is circular. A lot of this is hinted through the scene and through the movie as well:
Chiyoko costantly getting closer to her lover and losing him again
At the same time history can be seen as a cicle as well
In this scene you can find a recurring close up of a wheel
The ghost woman that Chiyoko meet is using a spindle wheel
In the OST of Susumu Hirasawa you can find track titles like “Circle in Circle“ and “Rotation“
The music playing in this scene (“Run“) has a circular structure
