Or does it depend? I'm watching The Great Courses (Travel France) and it says two brothers in France If you google it says an English dude. My cinephile friend says an American ?

Google says William Friese-Greene invented the camera and Louis and Auguste Lumiere(missing the symbol) brought it to a paying audience.
I'd personally say that it was a gradual process and that it started with art before the invention of photography. First there was the idea of using more than one drawing to represent motion, than the illusion of motion by displaying them quickly to create what appears to be movement, then the invention of photography and the illusion of real movement from quickly, successively captured still pictures. Gradually people started portraying longer and longer scenes and developing cinematic language. That's sort of a dumbed down version but you get the general idea.

The Lumière Brothers. “Lumière” means “light” in French, so it is appropriate that they created cinema.

The Lumiere Brothers perfected their motion picture invention in 1895 when they projected on a screen some very short (by our standards) films of about 1 minute in length showing everyday life in their French home town. “Train Entering A Station” was one of their biggest hits. It amazed audiences who weren’t sure if the train wasn’t going plow right through the room.
It took a few years and another Frenchman, Georges Méliès, to began to tinker with a narrative – movies that told a story. His masterpiece is the 13 minute or so (depending on projection speed), “Voyage To The Moon” (1902). That’s the one with the iconic frame of the rocket hitting the Man in the Moon in his right eye.
What your friend was probably talking about was what is considered the first narrative film in the United States, “The Great Train Robbery” (1903).

If we mean by that, moving images then the first "flip books" possible go back to the 18th Century.
