i just got the symbolism of the swing, not the hills, the swing. its his mother rocking him back and forth, but he's not there, he's watching two girls (Asuka and Rei) build a something. when they ask him to help with the building(pilot the eva) he does so, but when they leave(they die) and he is left all to his lonesome, he destroys it(which symbolizes both his disdain for piloting eva, and mankind's want to destroy no matter how much we create), and then he begins to build it again, this reitirates the quote "the fate of destuction, is also the joy of rebirth". there is more to this, and i may begin to post some evangelion finding/notes on here. but for now, have fun trying to figure out what im talking about!

That all makes sense to me. Is there anything special about the sunset? I remember in episode 25 or 26 (I believe it is part of the director's cut), Rei mentions the sunset and how it is the end of all life.
I never would've thought that Rei and Asuka were the ones he played with in the sandbox since they both left because their mothers came to pick them up. But, your idea makes more sense in the whole picture.

i figured that the sun was the representation of time
in the end they both pretty much died. there mothers were dead. so a calling of the spirits is how i view that situation

You mean like when the sun hit the horizon, the swing slowly came to a stop?

Couldnt that make the sun represent Life as well as time? I forget if it was moving across the sky, but that's probably from some other scene/anime...
But ya, it's traditionally life. And since they rest of them all died, the setting sun would be the extinguishing of life?

Well, I thought that way too, since the swing slowly stopped as the sun disappeared over the horizon and that could mean death.

I thought the swing was alluding to a mother's womb.
