So How Was He Able To Time Travel Exactly?

So how was he able to time travel exactly?

Do we as the audience ever learn how it all works or do we just accept that he magically time travels at the stroke of midnight being at that magical spot?

Or is that just not the important point of the story?

Also Owen Wilson learns a lot about the past and ends up appreciating the present and realizing he must appreciate what he has in the present right? So why was he so passionate about pursuing the chick in the 1920's then?

Wasn't she getting passed around from Picasso and Hemingway and just going from one lover to the next?

Wasn't the point initially for him to gain the courage to write his own novel once he realized he was confident enough to? So what ever happened to that then?

Also who was the blonde he ended up with in the end? Just a random French chick that he finally found who also shared his interest in walking in the rain?

It was a Woody Allen film! He does whatever he wants, and it's always a hit. He seems to love a bit of fantasy and reality. Don't we all?

She was the same young woman selling LPs. The actress is Lea Seydoux, although she wasn't listed in the credits. I had to look her up on Google.

Does not really need an explanation.
It just happens when that old vintage car rolls up and as to exactly how is not really important to the tale.
No different from a Delorean doing 88mph.
Or HG Wells using an oversized comfy chair with a big spinning section and lots of levers.
Or Star Trek when it's represented by silhouettes when going back to 1984 with strange voices.
Or Butterfly effect when he has a fit.
