Hacerse la pelicula is a Spanish slang term that roughly translates to 'making a movie (in one's head)'. It's used to describe someone who is overthinking or imagining scenarios that haven't happened or are unlikely to happen.
Examples
- Spanish: No te hagas la pelicula, ella solo fue amable, no significa que esté interesada en ti.
- English: Don't make up a movie in your head, she was just being nice, it doesn't mean she's interested in you.
