The film describes the life of George Cohan, an important Broadway performer in the early part of the last century. It can be seen from the film that George Cohan can sing and dance, always insisting on making progress, never giving up, working hard, creating and performing many musicals. And the musicals he created obviously have such an American sentiment. Even the president received him and praised him "Your song represents the American spirit." Since establishing itself as a country, the United States has always vigorously advocated and promoted the two most basic connotations of the "American spirit" of heroism and patriotism. If the content of his song and dance creations shows patriotism, then the hard work of his life embodies heroism. The film was shot at the beginning of World War II in 1942, and it also catered to the needs of the times. The last scene of the film is very touching: George Cohan walks out of the White House, and it happens that a group of rectified soldiers sings "at the front line", marching in large steps, rushing to the battlefield against the Japanese invaders and the German fascists. George Cohan couldn't help but walked up to them, carried a soldier's gun, marched with them, and sang together. This is not only his song, but also his heartfelt voice. The film is really an anthem to the American spirit.
