After watching Kara no Kyoukai 1 and 2, I am really confused and can't seem to find an explanation anywhere, so can someone explain both of the movies to me so I can move on the next one.

Thanks.

What makes you confused?

Unless you have a specific question, It'll explain itself as you watch the rest of the movies. The story is told out of order.

Is it best to watch it in the broadcast order?

Arguable. Personally I enjoyed the series more watching it in chronological order.

If you want to do that you can watch the series in the following order:
2 > 4 > 3 > 1 > 5 > 6 > 7 > OVA > 8

I'd say continue watching as is. At the very least, the problem with watching it in chronological order is the ~2 hours straight worth of setup and explanations you'd have to watch. There are other things like the non-linear order is how it was intended, but it's a weird argument since it's just the first four films that are swapped around. Still, I just watched as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 since it's less thinking.

With the subject matter itself? It's just pretentious philosophical rambling.

In terms of chronology? It'll make sense if you just keep watching. Personally, I'd watch it in broadcast order

Yes, the airing order is how it was meant to be watched. Everything will be explained later, just go on with the third movie. The KnK series has a great rewatch potential because the story is not that easy to understand and you might be confused after the first movies.

I say yes.
It'll become clearer as you go along.
