The main focus is on Oppenheimer's journey, from communist to working on the Manhattan project, and his life after the project. They don't glorify the process, although it's fair to say the deaths in Japan don't get a huge amount of attention.
It's also worth noting the program originally began as a race against Germany to build a nuke.
What do you mean by "communist"? Like Oppenheimer was in favour of a classless society or did he live under state-capitalism/the Soviet Union?
As in supported classless society. He supported and associated with numerous left wing movements throughout his life.
As in communist party of America, I don't know their exact beliefs.
