The first one should be: "That remark was (the present tense is rarely used as it is in the given sentence) directed at me (by someone - this is passive voice)."
The second one should be, for example (active voice):
"That remark stung/hit me."
"That remark found its way to me."
0John AkiThat remark is directed to me. (Is this passive?)
Yes.
John AkiThat remark directed to me. (active, I think so)
Yes, but it's not the active that corresponds to the passive above, if that's what you're thinking. Besides, this sentence makes no sense. A remark cannot direct anything.
