I think the movie did a pretty good job of showing that he wasn't the inventor of the atomic bomb. The moniker has always been "father" of the atomic bomb, since he was more of a supervisor and manager than a deep researcher at that point

True. He was instrumental, but more in leading the effort of different researchers.
