Analyse and explain the way in which a moral issue has been dealt with in a film

When they go to jail, Darlene realises that her parents have no idea where she is and they won't be able to contact her. The film highlights the consequences for each lie. I think it does this well because it shows the lie being told and then later on in the film it shows the consequences in good detail.
