The atomic bomb was tested on July 16, 1945, more than two months later.

Christopher Nolan made the movie to put us in the mind of Oppenheimer and how horrified he was with his own creation. At first Oppenheimer felt it needed to be made to beat the Nazi's, as them getting the bomb would have been horrifying. That was the right call. The ending of the movie summed everything up. By creating the bomb, they were possibly creating something that would eventually lead to the end of the world, if humans weren't careful. It was by far the biggest moral dilemma in the entire history of mankind and remains so.

Haven’t seen the movie, but have read and heard enough about it that my thoughts were the same as yours. I think he regretted making it.

He was bound and an eagle ate his liver. The liver reformed and the eagle came back the next day and the next. And just to be petty, Zeus unleashed Pandora on the human world.
