Energy or Force transformation in a pulley?

If a mass 'm' is attached to one end of a string (resting) on the table and mass 'M' is attached to the other end. The centre of the string is placed on a simple pulley and released where M>m, would you say 'm' moves up because of the weight force acting as the tensile force and thus a net force on the mass 'm' or it is due to the Ep of mass 'M' falling a distance of 'h' causing the transformation of Ep=>Ek on the car?
