Theories and methods to analyze different forms of mobility and related complexities abound. By engaging with eight documentaries dealing with migrations and histories of Asia, this review essay sketches the possibilities of viewing the inextricable linkages between mobilities and immobilities of people, policies, and ideas through the metaphor of quantum entanglement. The essay explains the viewing environments, summarizes the viewed documentaries, and analyzes the visible entanglements of the seemingly contradictory co-presence of movement and stillness.

关键词：流动, 静止, 纠缠, 侨民, 创伤。
分析不同形式的流动以及相关的复杂性的理论与方法广为存在。本论文通过对八部处理亚洲迁移和历史主题的纪录片的分析，勾勒出利用量子纠缠的隐喻对人民、政策与观念的流动与静止之间的无法分割的联系加以观照的可能性。本论文解释了观影环境，概述了观看的纪录片，并分析了看似矛盾共存的运动与静止之间的可见的纠缠。
